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.

Fairway’s are in terrible condition

I’ve played Apache Creek 10+ times and have never seen the fairways in such bad shape. Greens and tee boxes are great but looks like they skipped over seeding the fairways this winter.

Still great

Played on Christmas Eve, wasn’t busy, no beverage cart (which they should have told us when checking in),

Glad they shut down early so most of the staff could go home!

Was lucky enough to play with a fellow that participates on the ultimate long drive circuit, was neat to watch him launch those long drives and his young son (8), smiled the entire round!

A desert course

Easy to find. Easy check in. Getting costly. Clean carts with sand bottles and ball/ club washer. Water at the start. Water buckets for towels. Tees beat up some and often uneven. Fairways pretty good Roughs with minimal grass or desert. Bunkers seem playable to me. Greens good shape and not flat. Played in 4 hrs. Can’t take carts to car. Hard to turn left out if parking lot neat 5 pm

Always Fair

AC is always fair—hit a bad shot, pay the price. Hit a good one, no penalty. The course layout is clean, clear, lots of space, mostly flat but fairways are clearly delineated and challenge you to make good decisions.

Staff is cool too—patient, kind, fellow golfers who are not snobs but just want you to have a good time.

Desert course

Easy to find. Easy check in. The cashier seems to recognize me. Getting more spendy. Clean older carts with ball/club washer and sand bottles. Water at starter. Tees getting a little beat and often not too level. Fairways pretty good Roughs pretty sparse grass. Lots of desert. Bunkers have at least some sand though some pretty wet. Greens good this year. Medium speed and often not flat. No drinking water on course. Some toilets. Water bucket for towels at start and 10th. Played in 4:15. Can’t take carts to car. Hard to turn left exiting at end of day

Quick but fun round

Had the third tee time of the day and flew through the course. The greens were in great shape.

The restaurant was terrific! Love the breakfast sandwich and they were so friendly.

In general, you have to be consistent and straight, or you will play from the desert, which I did more than I planned. But even then, I still had a shot.

Course was playable even with fairways that were not overseeded. Greens were a little hard and fast.
