  I’ve been playing Antelope Hills since the 1980s, and it’s disappointing to see what has happened to a course that was once one of the premier municipal golf facilities in Arizona. The greens used to be primo—they were the signature of the course and among the best in Northern Arizona. Today they’re slow, bumpy, inconsistent, and too often make good putts bounce offline. They often appear to be mowed only every two to three days, are rarely verticut, almost never rolled, and simply don’t receive the attention that quality greens require. Cup and pin placement has become another major problem. Too many pins are cut on severe side slopes or in locations that make little sense from a golf course setup standpoint. They’ve got teenagers setting the cup locations, and it shows in the consistently poor pin placements. Old cup locations are frequently left raised or sunken by as much as a half inch, showing a lack of supervision and attention to detail. The practice putting green doesn’t even resemble the speed or quality of the North Course greens. Players warm up for one set of conditions and then face something completely different once they get on the course. One of the most frustrating examples of the lack of attention was when a mower leaked hydraulic fluid across every green on the North Course, leaving visible dead trails. A mistake can happen to anyone, but continuing to mow every green after the leak started showed a lack of oversight and turned a small problem into a course-wide one. Many of the tee boxes are burned up and in terrible condition. They simply need routine spot watering and attention, yet they’re allowed to continue deteriorating. It sends the message that course conditioning is no longer a priority. The frustrating part is that this isn’t because Northern Arizona is too difficult to maintain. The other courses in the area have outstanding conditions and excellent superintendents, proving that exceptional turf is absolutely achievable in this climate. There simply isn’t a good excuse for Antelope Hills falling this far behind. I’ve been a loyal customer for over 40 years because I care about this course. That’s why this is so frustrating. Antelope Hills has two outstanding layouts and tremendous potential, but in my opinion the greens now rank among the worst in Northern Arizona. The golfers who have supported this course for decades deserve better. Management needs to make course conditioning a priority again. Restore the greens to the standard they once had, repair the tee boxes, pay attention to the details, and make Antelope Hills a course the community can once again be proud of.

  I did not play golf but had lunch there twice. It was very busy both times and the staff did an amazing job. They made each table feel important and kept up with refills. The menu was simple but the food was great. The entire staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed.

  Would give it a 5 if we hadn't just played a foursome and the 4th had his wife and toddler (3-4 year old) with him. 90 degrees and 18 holes is more than a toddler can tolerate. At one hole the Wife and child stayed behind us in the middle of the fairway while we were on the green which delayed the group behind us. At another hole they were on the green as we were chipping and we had to ask them to move. By the 16th hole it was melt down time and we were told "he is tired". We'll take him home instead of continuing to play. We left at this point. I stopped in the office on the way out. They said unless the parent informs them he has a child with him they don't know and they encourage young golfers. I do too but 3-4 is too young. We have etiquette rules to follow and the starters see who is on the cart and should review them with players bringing children. If the children can't abide the parent should have the sense to leave the course out of consideration for the other golfers.

  Both courses have gone down in recent years. The bunkers are hard dirt and rocks, very little sand.
