Seemed a little pricy for the track. Some other munis in Phoenix/Scottsdale are a little nicer.

A Phoenix City course, so with PHX card (available to all Maricopa County residents), the price is among the best, especially walking. Course condition is good, especially for the price. Other courses are more challenging, but though flat and open it's not as easy as it looks (don't get off the side into the trees or OB). Our group uses this as kind of a "fallback" course if no others are open when we want to play or are too expensive (most of them are this time of year in PHX - we're retirees...).
