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.

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!

In poor shape

Have always loved this course but it has not been maintained at all. They removed a bunch of the water which changed the look of the course which isn’t the biggest deal but they clearly didn’t overseed this year and the greens were less than even average. They use spray paint to try and make it look green but fairways are in terrible shape.

Painted Fairways

Course iis not in good shape. Fairways are painted green and also some spots on the greens. No real ruffs; just gravel mixed with bare dirt.

Dust Bowl

Not that I am an expert golfer, however, there are two choices at Apache Creek...Drive on the Fairway (which is basically hard pan, not what we expect for fairway) OR Ground covered with dirt. There is little rough which one would expect. People were great, my clothes needed a serious wash cycle to get the dirt out.

Yuck!

We had low expectations to begin with. A links desert layout. Ponds are pretty much empty. Greens were in TERRIBLE shape. Any grass rough was brown or dead or dormant. Most "rough" is desert. They're trying I suppose, but fix the greens! I wouldn't pay rack rate to play there. The Hot Deal made it palatable.

Very nice track

Very cordial greeting in pro shop. Clear instructions about course rules. The starter (Pat) was helpful and very pleasant.

Course had very good fairways. The greens were excellent with a couple having some grass problems, but not horrible. Would definitely play there again.
