Apache Creek Golf Club
About
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.

Greens fast, fairways bare
Front nine fairways bare grass, back nine better
Greens not heavy grass and fast
Enjoyed the design of back nine
A little pricey for conditions of course
Fun Course
The course has a good pace of play-ranger are watching both nines. Signing on where to go from hole to hole needs to be vastly improved.Staff is great and very helpful.
Terribly overpriced! Condition tee to green is very poor. Greens were decent, but not good. Definitely not worth $80. Max $50 golf course
True desert golf experience. The green complex and green surfaces very good.
Fairways a little sparse
Course is not in great shape. Fairways don't have a lot of grass on them, hence the reason for 90 degrees. Green's were in good shape though. Price was way too high, but that's basically everywhere.
Least expensive to play and pretty decent
Easy to find. Easy check in. Clean carts with sand bottles. Water for us at start. Water buckets for towels. Started a few minutes late but played in just under 4 hours. Tees fairly good but not always flat Fairways pretty good. Roughs with spotty grass or desert. Bunkers actually have some sand. Greens pretty good and almost always some curve. Can’t take carts to car. Sometimes difficult going left out of driveway at days end
Poor conditions
The course is not in good shape right now, I suppose because of the recent rain and cool weather. The fairways are particularly poor as the existing grass is thin and patchy. The greens are in fairly good shape, which makes the course playable but it is not worth the high price right now.
Clueless Ranger
My friend and I booked here about 90 minutes prior, due to a great rate popping up. We got to the starter for our 1pm start and had 3 groups waiting to tee off in front of us. Mind you, it’s 5 minutes before 1 and they do 7 minute intervals. We get paired with a very nice pair of ladies, one in her 70’s the other was 81! After teeing off over 20 minutes late and having to wait in the hackers in front of us in number 2, the ranger had the nerve to tell us we were playing slow!! The group in front of us were not even on the green yet on the 3rd hole! The ladies we were playing with were playing fast ready golf, and my buddy and I both shoot high 80’s. I argued with the ranger as to where we were supposed to go? The next 2 holes he’s hiding behind bushes watching us!!! On about the 6th tee, I saw him watching and scorched one at the group in front of us. I came about 30 yards short, I knew I couldn’t reach them, but proved my point. The ranger then made them skip a hole. We were caught back up to them by hole 9! This ranger has no clue as to how his job should be done!
Terrible
Reserved for two people, one couldn’t make it so I played alone. I got charged for two and also did not pay the rate that I was scheduled for. Rip off. Never play here
This course has a great layout
We teed off at our scheduled time and the pace was good-not rushed. Stay on the fairways😁
Great Value. Played in 4 hrs. Greens were in great shape. Lots of dirt and desert, if you are ok with that, the ball rolls like crazy !
Great greens!!!
Greens were fantastic!!!! Consistent, fast and true
The rest of the course is meh.
Much Improved
This was the 1st time we played the course this year. We were very impressed with how much the condition of the greens have improved! The overall condition of the course was also good. We will be back.
Fairs look good from afar but simply painted green. shots off the fairway were in a rocky desert base making shots impossible unless you were willing to sacrifice your clubs. Given what clubs cost these days it was a no brainer.
Traffic from highway made the environment very loud
Fairways
Fairways had no grass on them they painted fairways green. Just clay mud dead grass. Greens were great shape as well as sand traps
Painted fairways
Greens were very nice and 10 feet around the greens were nice but the fairways were dormant brown grass painted green. Not worth the $70 in my opinion.
