Agave Highlands Golf Course in Cottonwood Arizona off State Route 89A is an 18 hole golf course, including grass driving range and chipping and putting practice facility. Called before coming in late afternoon when I was in the area to check it out. Proshop said it was wide open, possibly because of the temperatures. Got thru 3 holes before catching up to a twosome. Paired up with them, nice gentlemen who were regulars, once a week'ers. Told me that the course had been in bad shape for a long time and was on its way to getting better and looking better. Greens were excellent, healthy. It was a click and go type putt, long shaggy greens. I would rather see it this way than short and scalped and dead. They need a spray technician to get rid of the weeds and other grass types that might be choking out the good grass in the fairways and roughs. Cart paths were not all cement, almost like a scatter from the tee box kind of situation. Unfortunately I had a time constraint and was only able to get to hole 10. The proshop informed that the back off the course was more dynamic and the twosome told me the scenery in the background showcased the red rock mountains of Sedona, where as the front scenes were of the mountains in the Cottonwood region. I will defintely be back to see the changes in maintenance of the course told by the regulars and the proshop and to finish the back of the course. Keep up the great work Agave Highlands!!!
