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.

Always a fun track to play. One item of concern is the cup holes on the greens. No sharp edges made it almost impossible to “die in” putts. I must have lipped out half of the holes. Not sure they change hole positions.
Good Course And Good Value For The Money
Course has a few doglegs, and island green and well-maintained greens. Fairways were green as they should be and tee boxes were level. Few trees for shade and plenty of desert next to most holes. Good value at $30. Golf partner GPK liked the course.
Good Course That Has Never Disappointed
Took some out-of-town friends here to play on a real desert course and they loved it. Yes it is long and yes it does not have many shade trees but the course was in great shape and weather was not a factor. The island green is always a challenge as well as the 600-yd par 5. A few coyotes were out there this am and an eagle overhead which made for a fun experience for my eastern city-slicker friends. I have been playing Apache Creek for 30 years and it never disappoints. Food service has improved. Yep, I recommend this course
Better Than it Should Be
Played the morning of the 4th for $35. Yes, it’s summer and yes, it’s a drive, but that’s still an amazing value for what you get. Very solid course in way better shape than it should be.
Tee times too tight
Tee times onlly 7 minutes apart causes too many delays in the round. Dont know of any other course that has fewer than 8 minutes between tee times.
Staff in proshop was not friendly, which I have seen to be true from other experiences at course.
Tee times
Went golfing here for the first time and it was a decent course. However the group in front of us were very slow until the ranger came to us and explained the group was spoken to. While playing we noticed the group in front of us packed up and left so now nobody was in front of us. Two holes later the ranger approached us and argued with us that we needed to catch up with the group in front of us and we were three holes behind. We tried to tell the ranger the slow group left the course but he wasn’t taking that for an answer and continued to insist we make up three holes and close the gap! Maybe if these courses didn’t schedule tee times for every 5 to 7 minutes there would be less hold ups, these courses should realize if they schedule more accordingly they might get more appreciated patrons.
Nice day at apache creek
Course was in great shape. We got out at 6am and we completed around 10:30. Because we were out so early we beat the cart girl. I would recommend making sure you bring some drinks to stay hydrated. There was not water very frequently throughout the course.
Fantastic
If you’re looking for a great course outside of Phoenix, it’s a great play! Greens are perfect, fairways are great, if you shank it you have a good chance of finding your ball.
pace of play was good
fairways and greens were decent, however, we had an afternoon tee time, and was disappointed that the pro shop did not tell us that all carts had to be in by 630pm… would not have gone out if that was the case. also, at 3pm, why was the onsite restaurant closed already?
Fun course
People are way too harsh when reviewing this course. Had a great time, fun layout and grass was in pretty good shape. Pace was pretty slow, but not on the ranger in my opinion.
Summer starting
Little dry. Normal this time of year. Bump and run friendly.
