It’s amazing that Arcis now owns Grayhawk and complete and total trash pit like Kokopelli as well, woof….

All they care about is profit % every course has an operating budget and charge accordingly

Koko might be the worst overall course out here right now, especially considering it’s location

They have 7 in the vicinity of Dallas.  Which courses you talking about?

Twin Creeks in Allen. They are up to 12 or 13 temporary greens in fairways now. Just posted the superintendent job offering a generous salary at about what an entry level assistant would make in this town. Good luck.

Received this message today (I have a White Tee card).  Wonder what they will change ...

When I need a good chuckle every so often, I look at the golfnow reviews for Koko, they are consistently the most scathing of any course in the valley.

My favorite is slowing down and watching a group in jean shorts and wife-beaters teeing off.

On the AZ golfers Facebook page, it is the first course recommended to out of state golfers.

Its more like this

Dino Mtn

Rancho Manana

Quintero

I got ridiculed when I said Southern Dunes is better than Quintero

Most of the people on that FB page are weekend hacks without much knowledge of layout/architecture features. Which of course is the majority of all golfers in general. But I definitely get a kick out of some of their recommendations and responses.

These folks know Kokopelli stinks.  It's sarcasm.

Of course, I love the Koko references. I was talking in general. I get a kick out of their recommendations at times. The love for Rancho and Lookout in that group is amazing.

There aren't many things that would qualify to be "      ">Golfwrx knowledge.

I've heard people talking about this AZ Golfers facebook page before, but it's not viewable unless you have facebook and join it. I decided whatever is on it can't be worth getting on facebook again after I deleted/deactivated my account like 12 years ago.

What is Facebook?

 

 

 

Right now anyone reading this post is wondering if I am 9 years old or 90

Looks like the acquisition is official, although details are unclear still on private/public operation, Arcis has it. My guess is they take one private, keep the other public but don't put it on the Prime membership
