Course Overview Layout & Design Par‑72, 6,905 yd (Blue tees), slope ~123–124 and rating ~71–72, designed by Arthur “Jack” Snyder in 1963–65. Traditional “parkland” style featuring mild relief, wide fairways bordered by mature trees (pines, eucalyptus, palms), and scenic mountain backdrops. No forced carries, though water hazards (ponds) and bunkers introduce a modest strategy. Walking-Friendly Green Valley’s only truly walkable public 18‑hole layout, though carts are also available. Carts are basic without GPS, and paths are in good shape. Practice & Amenities Full practice facility: grass driving range, putting green, bunker, chipping area, plus a 9‑hole pitch‑and‑putt “Tortuga” course (50–100 yd holes). Modest clubhouse (“Overpar” grill/snack shop and small lounge), friendly staff, beverage cart service. ✅ Strengths Well-Maintained Conditioning Consistently praised for smooth, firm Bermuda fairways and greens with subtle breaks. Beginner and Senior Friendly Walkable, forgiving layout: ideal for mid-handicappers, beginners, and seniors. Excellent Value Green fees are very reasonable, and overall 91% recommendation rate across >2,500 reviews. Pace (Generally Fast) Many golfers enjoy swift rounds, though occasional slow‑play issues happen. ⚠️ Considerations Occasional Slow Play Some reports of overcrowding, particularly when tee times are spaced too closely—pace on par‑3 holes sometimes slow due to backups. Cart Limitations Basic carts without GPS; walking on hot days can be demanding despite flat terrain. Subtle Greens Greens are relatively flat with modest breaks; subtle reading is advised. 🏌️‍♂️ Player Feedback As long you keep the ball on the fairways, you should just be fine. Wide fairways, easy terrain … beginners/intermediates can successfully play. Old school charm … everyone working here makes the experience special. 🎯 Final Assessment Haven Golf offers a solid, traditional parkland experience with excellent conditioning, walkability, and affordability—making it a standout for casual golfers, beginners, and seniors. It's especially well‑suited to players seeking a relaxed, scenic round around Green Valley’s charming desert‑green landscape. If you're looking for more challenges (length or undulating terrain) or modern amenities (GPS carts, resort-level clubhouse), you might explore other nearby courses. For what it aims to be, however—a friendly, walkable, value-driven public course—Haven delivers consistently and affectionately.

I like this golf course BUT it's hard. I mean the ground is hard. They don't water much, except possibly on the greens and maybe the center of the fairway. Everything else is dead, especially the tee boxes so when you hit your ball it RUNS! A 275 yard drive becomes 300. Good and bad right. I'll possibly play again but would like the course to soften up a bit. It's good though right, love to play regardless. I do love the framed sign over the urinal though.

I wasn't actually playing golf but there with my boyfriend. The course was clean and the grass was intact. There was a raffle at the end of the fundraiser and we won a 4 day trip to Rocky Point. We had a fun day and can't wait to go watch him play again.

Great place for 9 or 18 holes, course is challenging enough but fair. Clubhouse has a good bar, comfortable with a good selection of beer and snacks. Green fees are about a dollar a hole including a cart.I

The course itself is not awful. The first tea box was the best looking one the rest were mediocre, The real issue came from the ungodly amount of mosquitoes for 18 holes straight. I was being absolutely molested by monstrous mosquitoes that looked like they were out of a sci-fi movie. I've never wanted to get off of a golf course so bad because of the amount of bugs that were on it, but I could not play fast enough to get through 18 holes to get away from these mosquitoes
