Mt. Graham Golf Course

It's been several years since I last played here, so I forgot many of the hazards this course offers. Despite carding the highest score I've had in years, Mt. Graham is very well maintained, the tee boxes, fairways and greens kept in excellent condition, meaning that I had no one but myself to blame for my play. I would definitely come here again, and I see opportunities for improvement as I now have a better knowledge of the hazards and general layout and would have a better plan to avoid them.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We showed up early to hit balls and were offered the chance to tee off ahead of our tee time. We did.
The course is in good condition. But if you miss the fairway you could be playing from dirt and gravel in the desert. The greens have some slope and undulation. The are not just flat. But they are much slower than we are used to playing. We left a lot of putts dead in the hole, short.
Several holes have some interesting features if you have never played the course. For instance; number 2 requires a longish drive over a dry arroyo. But you can't see the arroyo from the tee. I was lucky to hit a good drive and carried the arroyo. We realized something was up when a couple of our guys hit poor tee shots that disappeared in what we thought was fairway. We discovered the arroyo when we drove to our tee shots. Number 11 is a par 5 that also has a dry small arroyo that can be reached with your second shot even if you aren't trying to get to the green. Again, the arroyo is not visible from the area of your second shot. Number 5 is short par 4 that requires a precise tee shot short of a pond that is also not visible from the tee. But you are aware that something is there because you see the fairway climb to an elevated section. Be aware that number 18 requires a tee shot to the left side of the fairway. Any shot middle to right is almost completely blocked by a massive tree that is hard to go over. Going under could force you to hit a low shot that goes in screaming to the green. Hit the tree and you might end up in another arroyo. Not all the arroyos are playable. They have huge rocks and boulders that could prevent you from playing out of them even if they are dry.
Overall, we enjoyed the course. It's a fun course that is not overly long and offers several different tees for players of varying skill. Lunch and range balls were included in our green fee.
I recommend the course and intend to return again in the near future.

Heard this course had closed, then heard that the city had taken it over. Showed up not expecting much, by the other reviews. After talking with the pro shop staff, was surprised to hear that OB Sports had taken over the management.

The course was in excellant condition, the greens were a 10, the fairways and tees at least an 8. Like most city courses the bunkers were the sore spot. Luckily there aren't many on the course.

The course has a wash running thru it, and it crosses many of the fairways. There are a few ponds on the course and a lake in front of hole 14.
This will be a real good muni, if the next 6 months of improvement is as good as the last 6. It's a simple golf, pure old time desert , course,. No rough and dirt areas between the fairways.

If your in the area, give it a chance.
