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.

We always feel a good challenge on this course especially to stay in the fairways due to the desert inlay it has. We love it. We call it our home course.

We were disappointed in the conditions of the fairways and the lack of grass overall. The "rocky" areas are too extensive and penal.

So slow

They overbooked the course. Took 4.5 hours and people just started walking off the course. Won’t play again.

Rough around the edges…….

Your typical municipal course in a “true” desert setting. Lots of people with balls flying everywhere as course is heavily booked. Greens were shaggy and never rolled true, typical of over seeding this time of year. Had a great time with the people we played with from New York as we’re from Canada.

Don’t waste your money

For $50-60 this is a waste. If you like summer golf conditions and winter golf waiting for $60, this course is for you.

Spend the extra money and play a real course. Oh and by the way you can’t have a cooler unless your purchase 3 or more drinks from them. Pathetic, just like the course conditions.

Never again will I spend a penny here.

Fair value

Fun course to play under certain conditions. Winds were high when we played, don’t mind wind just all the dirt and dust blowing. Fairways are too close together with little protection from errant shots. Seemed to be a lot of those. Staff are always great. In general, after being away for 20 months in Ontario due to COVID protocols, I find all the courses have drastically increased their prices. At least, Apache Creek have not been outrageous in pricing.

Covid Protocols are not a problem for us, we adhere to them in Canada.

First timer

Course is average at best. You need to keep your head on a swivel as balls fly “everywhere”. Lots of desert area present. Beverage cart was around plenty…..nice to see that. A fun day with the weather and the people we played with.
