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.

Desert dominated course

The course I challenging to play, mostly due to fairways that are not obvious or visible when teeming off. Played a lot from the desert rocks. Greens were in nice shape. Fairways needed some work.

Fun but not worth the money

Fun course and was not busy with snowbirds… we had 3 golfers, two 15 handicaps and my son who plays in from the 150 mark. We finished in just over 3 hours and did not rush anything. Greens were fun and well read, the only downside is the cost. This is not an $80-$90 course. That’s a greedy cash grab mindset leeching the snowbirds in the area. This is a course that should be $50-60 max. I’d be here every day if it was more reasonably priced.

Goat track

Overcharged by about 30 dollars versus what golfnow said would be due at the course. Never again.

Fairly decent place to play

Easy to find. Easy check in. Prices have remained affordable. Carts cleaned and with ball and club washer and sand bottles. Water for us at start. Water buckets for towels. Number of tees are fairly uneven. Fairways pretty good. Roughs with some grass. Lots of desert. Bunkers with dirt that is generally playable played in just over 4 hours. Can’t take carts to car. Seems like less people playing all ready. Sometimes difficult to turn left out of driveway late in the day

First and last time to play this course

The course condition was okay The pace of play was ridiculous. Waited forever on every hole never saw a ranger try to speed anything up. On the 7th it was so slow the guys in front of us were laying on the tee box waiting for the twosome in front of them to hit. It was ridiculous I would ask for a refund or a credit but I never want to play that course again. Absolutely worse round of golf ever.

Wide open

Good course. Wide open fairways but stay off the desert landscape if you love your irons as much as I do.

Pleasantly surprised

We were paired with another couple for the front nine and the group in front of us was very slow. The Marshall spoke with them and came to let us know that he had done so. Then he followed up again to reassure us that they were going to pick up their pace. it was great to have the Marshall do such an excellent job. We were just a twosome on the back nine and it was as if we had our own private golf course. We motored through the back nine and completed the round in under four hours.

The greens and surrounding aprons were in excellent shape. Greens were quite tricky, and we both had trouble reading our putts. It was a little difficult to figure out where the next hole was on several occasions.

Good Value

We played under a twilight rate which was good as well as the pace of play. Tee off at 2:10 and completed the round before 6:39pm.

I was dissappointed in the fairways We had to play the 90 degree rule, but I don't know why since they were in rough shape anyway.

Greens rolled very well and sand traps were good. All in all, a good day!

Desert golf

Desert course with virtually no rough. Somewhat difficult to know where to hit your drive on some holes. Greens in good shape. Fairways sketchy.
