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.

Interesting course

Although a little rough the course was fun. There are a lot of gravel areas throughout the course.

Still a good time

Goat pasture

Was so surprised when they insisted on a 50 degree rule. Once on the course wondering what they were preserving. Very hard to find next hole poor markings. Was asked to pick up pace, no one in front of us when started finished in four hours.

Wouldn't play again

Way overpriced. Front 9 greens are horrible, ball bounces all over on your putt. Back 9 better, but are quite hard and really tough to get a ball to hold on approaches. Wouldn't play again unless price comes down.

Not so good this year

Easy to find, easy check in, carts ok, water buckets for towels , give you at the start, tees need redoing on numerous boxes, fairways pretty good, roughs ok when have grass, quite a bit of desert, front nine greens need to be redone they are the worst of any course and worst ever for AC, back nine are better , bunkers with some sand, got rid of drainage channel running thru the course, played in 4 1/4, can’t take carts to car, hard to exit near end of day due to traffic, we liked going here some but will not go back this year

Greens were rough!

For the cost and how the course was I do not recommend. Possibly could have been the timing but also took over 5 hours waiting on people.

Good day

So much opportunity, good layout and good facilities but are dated. First four or five greens were like playing on temporary greens (please roll them at least). Carts go everywhere so the wash is very hard packed so easily wreck your clubs (should start roping/fencing things off). They close right at five, lucky we got there to have a drink a 4:57, but many people came after and we’re trying to get into the clubhouse (for a drink or bathroom) and it was locked up so not a great customer experience. The back nine was better and the price is ok but all I can say is this course has so much opportunity.

Great course

Excellent experience.

Great shape but you better hit em straight. Anything off the fairway is in the desert and more than likely lost. I lost 4 balls.

Fun and challenging course.

I use to consider this my favorite course for the money , however, this last round was not good. The greens were horrible. The facility is charging full winter rates for bad conditions. Not worth the money.

Grossly overpriced

Course was in terrible shape. Greens were pathetic, basically unputtable.

$85 you have got to be kidding me. I would have been disappointed at $35. I get it this is the high season but come on. The course was pretty full at this time so I am guessing there were a lot of locals and members playing that got much better rates. Not going back, game is tough enough without feeling like you are getting ripped off every minute you are out there.

Waste of Time and Money

Greens were awful. Starter was so confused and we were 20 minutes late on our time.We followed a 4some of guys who had a child I’d say was maybe 7 years old on a cart with his dad and ran all over greens and back into our line of flight . Very dangerous and we told the ranger but he didn’t care.Play was very slow and waited on every tee.. They should be ashamed at what they are charging for green fees at this dog track.

My suggestion is stay away and spend your money elsewhere ❗️FYI… I have played this course many times and have never seen these poor conditions ever❗️
