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.

Forever Slow Play

We try this course each year hoping for an improvement in condition or pace of play and are once again disappointed. Course is in dry and very rough condition with the greens being excessively bumpy. Frustrating when the starters seem to provide no benefit and cannot maintain a reasonable pace of play with a departing comment after you are teeing off 20 minutes late already of "I hope you brought your patience with you today". How about actually have a "Marshall" get out on the course and try to regain some control on the pace of play. 5 hrs for this type of course is unacceptable.

Very poor course conditions

The course was dry and hardly and grass anywhere. Greens were poor as well. Also not enough garbage cans as there were empty beer and pop cans everywhere. Won’t play it again this year.

It’s ok

Course starts out confusing - needs more delineation to let you know where you’re going. Multiple fairways side by side. Gets easier as you go along.

Course is under construction in areas and will probably be fine when complete.

Apache Creek

Fairway are bare in many spots. Fairway grass was very short, otherwise it was very thin. Greens don’t have much grass, but the ball seemed to roll ok.

Love course and staff, greens were bad

Come down a few times a year from up north. Play this course a lot. Staff is awesome and welcoming. The greens yesterday were shaved so thin and you could not hit a straight putt. They were in better condition in July. It got to be frustrating.

Moving in the wrong direction

We have played this course numerous times in the past 10 years - it is always a challenge. Finding the fairways is always important, since there is almost no rough (dirt and waste areas make up the bulk of the acreage).

When we played on 1/6, the tee boxes, fairways, and (especially) the greens (very spotty, and hard) were basically in poor condition.

Certainly not worth $50 and 4 hours, when there are numerous other courses in the area that are in much better shape for the same (or slightly more $$$) We won't be back any time soon.

going down hill

This use to be a really nice golf course but the last few times we have played there it is in pretty sad shape. The cart paths are almost completely gone and the greens are in terrible. The only bright side is it is one of the least expensive courses in the valley.

Overseeing not good, course wet from too much watering. Greens fair but need more winter grass, too much dry Bermuda grass.

What Happened?

I'm so sorry to give a bad review as I really like the folks and the golf course at Apache Creek; however, the course is in awful condition for this time of year. Greens are sparse and patchy and the fairways are the same. Perhaps they have an irrigation issue, but honestly, if it's this bad in the heart of Arizona golf, they're going to lose the course when it starts getting hot. Hopefully, it gets fixed.
