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.

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❗️

Greens need work.

Had a great day but the greens were terrible. They need some work. Always enjoy playing here.

Economical play

You get a little more than you pay for. This course gets tons of play, most likely because of the value pricing. Lot's of 20 plus handicappers, making play a little annoying at times. If you just want to get out and get some swings in, this is the place.

POOR VALUE

Don’t waste your money, greens are in worse condition than their summer time greens. I’m a fan of this course and play all the time but it has gone downhill this winter. Current prices seem good for the area but the course is in very bad shape.

Poor driving range, money

Zero grass on range as it was like hitting off dirt. Greens very bumpy

At this time of year in this condition you shouldn’t pay more than $50-60 compared to other courses of same dollar value.

Didn’t mind layout

Poor value

Greens not the best. Distance to fairway from some tees too long. Tee boxes not flat Overall not worth the price they charge. Maybe $60.

Nice course!

This course is worth a try! Staff are very friendly and the pace was good. There were Marshall’s out so that helped. No beverage cart though.

Holiday Golf with the Geese.

My son was off from college and I found the reservation over the weekend. I have golfed the course many times. They have made some real improvements. The greens weren't running too smooth. But it was a beautiful day.

Not much Fairway and a lot of desert.

I guess the course is a typical dessert course. It was a little short of fairway and a lot of desert. The greens were great but tough. The fairways are tight and we were almost hit by several errant balls from joining fairways.

Don’t play here!!

If this review changes one golfer’s mind about playing here, then this review did its job. I paid $80 for a Sunday round on a course that I wouldn’t play again for ten bucks. Greens are patchy, bumpy and horribly maintained. Fairways are ok but very narrow. And since this course is on such a small piece of land there are always errant golf balls whizzing on by, so your head needs to be on a swivel. I’ve used this app for years and have never felt compelled to leave a review until now. Save your money and time and go have some fun on another course!!

Expensive

The course has probably never been better but it's not worth that much money. Unfortunately this is Arizona in winter and frankly they can get whatever they ask. They DO have the most attractive beverage cart lady in the valley.
