Apache Creek Golf Club

Love the course. It is in great shape going into overseeding.

The course has been improving for the past couple of years and is now in much better condition. Staying on the fairways is still extremely important and watch the croup behind you closely as they tend to want to push.

Went out on Sunday and had a great time. Booked early so i can get home to watch the football games.

Booked at 6:15 and ended at 9:30. Course was in good condition. Fast greens, green fairways. First time playing so the layout was a little confusing but i did enjoy my time. Might be there again this upcoming weekend.

Course was in very good condition considering our crazy hot summer and minimal rain. Greens were fast and smooth, the green surrounds were lush and the fairways decent enough.

However, there are 2 major problems with the course. Because its inexpensive and pretty forgiving, on the weekend it is PACKED with 25 year old hackers, swinging out of their shoes sending tee-shots 100-150 yards offline. And with all of the parallel fairways (especially 11-17), balls are flying at you from all directions. I got nailed sitting in my cart on 15 and we almost got hit 3 more times. And these weren't slightly mis-hit shots. They were WAY offline. So if you're a beer-chugging, music playing hack, it's perfect for you, but if you're older and value your life, look elsewhere or play during the week.

Course was in great shape for being hot time of summer! Fairways and greens were in excellent shape, staff was super friendly and reasonable rate. Hot day, they gave us water before we started and at the turn. Good available to order and pick up at the turn as well. Will definitely play there again.

Except for the bunkers. They have expanded and leveled many of the white tees.

Course conditions were overall great (thanks to the rain this area has received) BESIDES roughly 5 holes’ tee boxes being under renovation. Like, all tees besides the tips were moved up to 1/4 the distance. Would’ve liked to be notified of said renovations but overall a good day.

I was so impressed I was shocked how nice the fairways were grass everywhere the best I've seen it in years The owner definitely puts a lot of time and effort into getting his crew to get this correct but I won't buy golf balls there to hit for the range balls very expensive they go with the prices out in Scottsdale I'm not going to drive that far to Scottsdale or Apache Creek to spend that kind of money on golf balls just to hit when I can spend in the Gilbert area for a lot less but that just a preference of mind of not blowing extra money I will pay what they want for the golf course it was well worth it You can read the greens a little faster than around the valley but in excellent condition

Pace of play was good. Fairways and greens good. Price was good. Sand traps could be better but that normal in AZ. Overall had a good day. Will play again.

This being my first time at Apache Creek, I was excited to take on a new course. My foursome arrived about an hour early to our 7:22am tee time to get some swings in at the range and sink some putts before our round. After roughly 20m of range time, the starter asked if we would like to start early as the group ahead of us was exceptionally late. We approached the first tee and the starter proceeded to ask for clubhouse receipts for our tee time, never had this happen in my 20 years of play.

I will note that this starter was an older man of retiree age who asked a group of 3 young black men and a Latino man for their proof of purchase at a low-rate 18-hole public course. Regardless, we showed our receipts and headed to the tee box.

Immediately after we hit our first tee shot, the group that was intended to be ahead of us showed up. This immediately set a pace of "Hurry the heck up" that the starter was set on enforcing.

The starter followed us from hole to hole for the entire front nine. When we stopped to pick up our food, which we had ordered ahead on the course, he told us we had "3 minutes" to get to the 10th tee.

Now, let me tell you this course is a maze.. the cart paths don't exist and are comprised of gravel tracks and you WILL be relying on your better judgement to determine where you should be driving. This along with the odd course layout (Not all holes have a clear path leading to the next tee) will back your group up slightly.

Even in light of this, while taking our time we still finished in about 3:45M which is ahead of pace for the average 18 hole 72 par course.

This course expected pace of play to be 3:30m so don't expect a fun time, and if you're not the typical older white gentleman who shows up expect the starter to treat you poorly.

Won't be coming back, the course isn't worth the hassle.

Playing in July courses can be in tough shape. But I was very impressed with the overall conditions. Was it Augusta National in April, no, Fairways were covered in grass, Greens were very good, firm but fair. Pace of play was a quick as we wanted to play.
