I played Ocotillo for the second Saturday in a row today. Phil's company recently took over management of this course in Chandler, AZ. Here are my quick thoughts. Everything is very much the same. Range balls are no longer included in the the base greens fees price and need to be picked up at the pro shop. This is a downgrade IMHO and seems to cheapen the experience. This course has 3 nines and used to run them in a fashion that the early tee times would be able to move from front to back nine quickly. Now, they book all 3 nine's tee times so fast play is not rewarded. 90 minute front nine and 150 minute back nine. So, not my favorite move on this point. For the course, it's decent, but very wet. All low areas are soaked. Remember, this is Phoenix and we are used to hard dry conditions. Strange call here and makes for soggy lies. The course attendants are great and clubhouse staff is great. My quick summary is: Course is the same, but wetter. Service is still great. Management of tee times has been downgraded. This is still a decent place to play in Phoenix, but I can give you 3-4 courses within 15 miles that are better managed. So, not sold on Phil's team.
