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.

Busy and dry

Easy to find. Parking good. Can’t take carts to car. Carts clean and have sand bottles. Easy check in. Had a fire in the clubhouse and is getting fixed. Water at start and at turn. Tees dry and somewhat beat and not flat. Fairways dry and pretty thin grass layer. Roughs dry and really thin grass. Bunkers pretty good. Greens pretty spotty and ball does not always roll smoothly and speed varies. Pretty busy played in 4:20. Cheapest price available. Not as good as had been in Nov and Dec but ok to play

Course conditions terrible

I have to be honest, I played this course many times over the years out of enjoyed it as it is usually in good shape for the price, especially this time of year. However, at $90 a person you would expect the fairways to have actual grass versus dormant painted over Bermuda. It does not appear that they did any over seating on the fairways, the only areas that were over seated where the tee boxes. Well, I understand that some factors may be out of their control, I would not have played $90 a person to play a course in that condition.

Just poor condition

Greens fair at best. Tee boxes good. Fairways poor. Off the fairway dead grass cars and everywhere dirt and no grass. I paid $80 with golf now.com. Not worth even $50.

The price is high for grass conditions

The composition of the course is interesting, but the fairway grass is all dead and hidden in green paint. The sprinklers looked missing. Not worth $99.

No other option

Great Sunday morning but ruined by an overpriced round of golf on a course that shouldn't be open. Fairways painted green, greens looked like fungus had attacked them. Tee boxes just okay, but still charging as much as other much better conditioned courses in the area. Unless you are extremely desperate, stay away, not worth any price.

It'll Be Too Soon!

This golf course is conveniently located just off I-60 East, making it super easy to swing by for a fun day on the greens! When you arrive, you’ll discover a large driving range, a putting green, and a chipping area to help you polish your skills. The staff is really friendly and always ready to lend a hand, which makes the experience even better. Although the pro shop is currently getting a little TLC after a recent incident, the team is hard at work to get everything back up and running. Plus, the starter currently offers complimentary bottled water to keep you refreshed during your game! And there is a well stocked beverage cart and snacks. The young lady operating the beverage cart did a great job keeping us fed and hydrated.

Most of the tee boxes and greens are in good shape, though a few rough patches that will affect your putting. The fairways are cut tight, dry and the painted green. You'll get into some challenging positions to play if your ball skids off the fairway and into desert areas where balls easily get lost, which led to slow play. A bit more clarity on the cart paths would also help with getting around. All in all, this course has so much potential, and with a few tweaks, it could become an even better spot for a fun day of golf!
