Apache Creek Golf Club

Easy to find easy check in,carts used but cleaned, sand bottles on carts, water for towels, water for us at start and course, on time, tees pretty beat, fairways dry and roll, roughs even drier, bunkers with minimal sand, greens sometimes a little lumpy, played in4 hrs, can’t take carts to car, hard to leave due to traffic after 3 pm, seems like not being cared for as well as before, but still playable

Everything was good except for pace of play, 20 handicap guys playing from black tees, UGGGG!

Course was ok…lot of desert…fairways fairly narrow

There needs to be some thought put into this having the carts in by 5:30, when it doesn’t even get dark until 6:00.

Take 3 or 4 old clubs to hit out of the desert. green was good.

Tee off at 2pm had to be off the course by5:30. We only got to play 11 holes before we were asked to pull the pin when we finished the hole and head in. I will not be going back to to pay $45. For 9 holes..

Golfing in Phoenix during the winter is very expensive. Tee time prices range from 45 to 450 dollars. The average price for a tee time with a membership card like Troon or Arcis is 80 dollars. To my surprise Apache Creek was a nice course with excellent greens that only cost 45 dollars. I will play it again. My rounds pace of play was great. However behind me they were stacked and slow. I only knew this because i lost a club and drove back a few holes and witnessed theur pace of play..

On the back 9, a foursome was sent out between groups which had back to back tee times. This slowed play down to have 4 foursomes waiting on the same hole. Very slow play, was told we could not finish our round. Staff member took the flags off the greens.

Pace of play very slow. There was a fivesome in front of us.

Course was very busy, which we expected, but more frenetic then we expected. Frequent golf balls crossing fairways, slow play. The good news is the fairways and greens are in great shape and love the practice area.
