Payson Golf Club

I've played this course around 20 times already this year, and it has quickly become one of my favorite places to golf. The course is always in great shape, and you can tell the maintenance crew takes a lot of pride in keeping it looking its best. One of my favorite parts is seeing all the elk roaming around the course—it makes every round feel unique and really adds to the beauty of the area. The staff has always been friendly, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. If you're looking for a great place to golf, I highly recommend this course. I'll definitely keep coming back for many more rounds!

You can tell the bad reviews of this course come from people who take golf way too seriously. I love seeing a local, family owned course with character. My wife and I enjoyed one of the most chill days playing here. It's a beautiful course with a few technical/challenging holes. The bar/restaurant area was a great place to hang out after the round. Great staff, great views, and fun times!

You kind of get what you pay for. I have read some reviews here and frankly don't understand them. First, condition of the course was very rough. The greens were really not too bad, could not really distinguish fairway and rough. Some tee box grasses were longer than the fairway/rough - weird. My golf cart was in need of serious repair- it either barely moved or zoomed faster than any cart I have ever gotten on. Made for a fast round though!! It kept backfiring when I was slowing down. Nice people to check you in and nice people out on the course to let people play through. It's a muni course and not meant to be an upscale (meaning expensive) experience. I wanted to get some fresh air (got it), play golf (got it), be with nature (elk galore!!) so all in all not too bad.

The staff were friendly. They were the only positive. The five star ratings defy all logic. The course doesn't have the size to be a five star. They don't have a driving range. If you miss a green by 15 yards you'll be in another fairway or tee box. I had two instances today where a golf ball rolled up while teeing up. Course conditions are poor. Oldest carts I've ever seen. The cart I rode struggled on some of the hills. I thought I'd have to push it back. The golfers on the course were nice. The fire ants not so much. Sometimes you need to hit fast and move.

What a fantastic golf course! The staff were so friendly, food was great and the golf course is super fun! Brad was especially accommodating at the pro shop!! Lots of opportunities for drivers and fairway woods on this course. We were treated like royalty, and so was our dog! We will be sure to come back! Thank you Payson Golf Club for a perfect 2-days on the links!!!
