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.

Terribly overpriced! Condition tee to green is very poor. Greens were decent, but not good. Definitely not worth $80. Max $50 golf course

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!

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

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.
