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 course.

Challenging for a high handicapper, but not too much. Greens pretty fast and hard to hold. Fairways and greens in good shape.

Great shape and great value

I had not played here since around 2012 or so and I recalled the course was on the low-end back then. Chose to play now as it was close by. I was pleasantly surprised by the course conditions--fairways, greens and rough were all well taken care of with the greens being somewhat fast and firm. The 'off fairway' areas were all desert dirt and scrub--but that does not bother me as it made it easier to find errant tee shots. Course layout is very good with a mix of long and short holes. Nice practice area, including a chipping/sand trap practice green and well manicured hitting area on the driving range (mats were there but were not in use--yay! I now have played 3 times in the past two weeks and will return. Good value and very good shape. Pace of play was a little slow last round but there are rangers present and the starter did warn to keep up with the group in front. Looking forward to playing again.

Good course - fair price

Apache Creek is in good shape and well maintained. This is not a "bucket list Scottsdale course", but it is a fun little track that punches above its price point.

Kudos to the course staff and greenskeepers. Fairways and roughs were well trimmed, and the greens were smooth and rolled true. Unfortunately, I also spent time in the desert and that was also "playable".

If you want an affordable round at an unpretentious course, give Apache Creek a try.

Delay at 1st tee not explained

Big delay at the 1st tee, reason never explained. 1245 tee time turned into 130.

1245 had a chance to finish before dark, 130 not so much. Played 9 holes and left, probably won't be back. Pretty expensive 9 hole round.

First Time Playing

Excellent value

My first time playing here, nice people, nice layout...greens were faster than they appeared!

they are preparing to overseed, but still had a great time.

Fair amount of desert can come into play but lots of openings for a decent second shot.

Would not recommend.

My teetime was early afternoon.They were running fifteen minutes behind. . The course of play was extremely slow. It took over 5 hours to finish. Carts were gas powered and old. To get a cooler of ice you were expected to make a purchase at the bar. No water coolers on the golf course. Fairways and greens were in decent shape. Bunkers were like hitting off hard dirt. Course layout was horrible....we were getting sprayed with golf balls almost every other hole...bring a helmet!.
