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.

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.

Greens

So coming out of overseeding you would think the greens would be a little more plush but they had some brown spots and where the grass didn't grow. But probably every course in town has a little bit of something going on. Our cart got hit by a couple balls and no one says four out there. They just let her rip let the courses overall really nice course. I enjoy it. I'm just excited about seeing the greens when they're back to normal

Getting dry

Easy to find. Getting spendy. Can’t take carts to car. Had fire in pro shop. Carts ok. Water for towels. Water for us at start. Somewhat slower today played in 4:10. Tees still not very level. Fairways dry and painted. Bunkers playable greens mostly pretty good and putt well. But some with lots of spots. Not always easy to go left out if lot. Chipping fairly good for pitch and run
