Although there are many other desert golf courses in the Phoenix area, Apache Creek Golf Club offers one challenging championship course that requires the use of every club. The golf course features wide open fairways and undulating greens that are sloped back to front, some are also double-tiered. There are also numerous sand and grass bunkers protecting the fairways and greens. Extensive mounding on the course cause uneven lies and water hazards come into play on a few holes. The most difficult of the several demanding holes on this golf course, is the lengthy par-5, 10th hole. Apache Creek Golf Club also boasts two practice greens, a pitching and chipping green with a sand trap, and a large driving range with various targets.

In excellent shape for the time of year

Tees were average but fairways and greens were in very solid shape with green grass. Their overall condition beat out everything I’ve played in the last month except for WeKoPa. The bunkers were pretty compacted. Certainly a good value with open early tee times.

Great June golf

Mother nature blessed us with an overcast sky so the golf was stupendous! Greens were a little shaggy which made reads tough but outside of that, fairways were in fantastic shape especially given the time of year. I went with a former coworker and his 13 year old son who were first timers, and they loved the layout. Great course for $40! Only knock is that there are a TON of beginners out here which slows down the pace. Also, be alert! Balls are flying everywhere and these beginners forget to yell FORE!!!

No water in summer

No water on course, you have to buy 3 drinks to get an ice cooler. Pretty basic stuff for a course in Arizona in June.

First Time Playing

Slow Play and Kids Running Amock

First time golfing here. Front 9 are narrow fairways so many golfers end up in the desert areas. Course greens are really dry. Slow play! Kids hopped on the course on hole 11 in front of us and talked to the cart girl for 8 minutes while their ball was on the green and wouldn’t finish out until they were done talking. Kids proceeded to hack up the course and not replace divots. Marshall was not helpful once we brought this to his attention. Won’t be back!

A pretty good course

Apache Creek on this day May 27, 2024 was in pretty good shape.

The Range was grass (Yea!) and the balls were pretty good.

The greens were rolling nicely. The fairways and tees were cut and in good shape.

The food in the snackbar was fine.

Overall I say it was reasonable value and experience.

.

They do a nice job at this course.

First Time Playing

fine but dusty dry, no water on course, no cooler on cart

The marshall kept lurking the entire time, made everyone feel rushed but you can only go as fast as the group ahead, first course we saw a marshall do this...maybe the marshall should just bug the front group to go faster (trickle effect). Super dusty course due to so much sand/dirt, so winds kick up a lot of dirt. Water along the way or at least coolers to keep drinks cold should be offered for the price you pay.

Be prepared for slow play.

Pace of play was very slow to say the least. Course ranger came up to us many times to say that there was a few groups a head of us with some inexperienced golfers in it. I asked what he was doing about it and he said nothing really that he could do. Last time he came to us I told him this will be close to a six hour round and in fact it was a 5 3/4 hour round. We were delayed almost 30 minutes to start and was told by the starter the reason for the delay was because some guy had his kid playing and would 3 to 4 balls each time. If the course rangers are not going to do anything about the slow play why have them out there to begin with? Also, be advised there is no drinking water on the course and the starter only gives you enough for one per person.

Spring break

The course is in terrible condition. Lots of bare spots. Some greens are OK but some have bare spots. Fareway sprinklers were on all morning while we played. Must be 100,000 gopher holes on the course. Some tee boxes require a drill to get the tee in the ground.

Less traffic and less costly

Easy to find. Easy check in. Cleaned carts with ball and club washer. And sand bottles. Water for us at start. Tees fairly good but a number especially the 3’s with pretty uneven ground. Fairways good roughs with spotty grass and lots of desert. Bunkers playable. Greens rolling pretty well and some curve. Price finally down. Water buckets for towels played in 3:50. Carts can’t go to car. Sometimes tough turning left out of driveway late in the day.
