About
Located next to several residential areas, the golf course at the Apache Wells Country Club was designed with seniors in mind. With that consideration, the course is mostly flat to make it an easily walkable. The course was originally only a nine-hole course but in 1966, Milt Coggins designed the back nine holes. Trees line many of the fairways and there is also a housing development that runs alongside the fairways. Water hazards also come into play on several holes. Being so close to a residential area, there are many out-of-bounds stakes on both sides. Apache Wells Country Club is open to the public from mid-April to the end of October.

Apache Wells
great value and course was in good condition.
Nice little course
Not a bad course for $20 for 9 holes with cart. Only 2 drinking fountains and they were not cooled at all. Also kitchen is closed during summer so eat before you go. Alice Coopers trophy display is pretty cool though.
Great conditions
Course is in real good condition a natural transition to summer grass. Fairways are wide and greens run true. Somewhat easy layout great for walking. Play was a little slow at 4 hours considering I started out at 6:30 am. Usually the early morning players play faster. Staff at course and restaurant are very friendly even surprised me with a free hot dog meal with round.
Great course
Came out to AZ from Chicago for a wedding and had to play a round of golf on vacation. This course was perfect; very open and forgiving, greens were true to your stroke and had good breaks, sand was a little wet but that's ok because I wasn't in them, my brother was, and the view was amazing too. Definitely will play here again if I'm back in town.
one of the best values in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area
Course is well suited for couples and/or seniors. The course is very forgiving, however it does have some lenght (particularly on the back nine) and water. The staff was extremely friendly and accomondating. We enjoyed playing this course - particluarly given the pace of play ( under 3 1/2 hours).
This course has some of the best greens we have played!
I have played here on and off for years. This course is in the best shape I have ever seen. The whole facility is spotless. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are very well maintained. Everyone of the staff from Pro to Bartender were great. We will be back for sure. Thanks
not a cake walk
this course is not as easy as you would think, a 228 yd
par three from the blues for instance and the pin was back for 235 total yards. fairways excellent condition
Feels longer than Noted
Our foursome was sent off the back nine first, which is a little longer than the front. The course appeared to be in great shape, and most fairways are wide and open, which would indicate the potential for a lower score, but you still have to get some distance out of your drives and second shot. Even the par 3's seemed a little longer than normal running from 136 to 199. But, it is very enjoyable and requires accurate shot placement, especially around the greens.
the Greens
Due to sandy greens, most of the putts on the greens are a straight shot to the hole.
Great Course for summer golf
I would give it a 4 star overall except for he greens being sandy with putts running slow and a little bumpy. In another week, the greens should be in very good shape. The fairways were in very good shape. You can't beat this course in the summertime for the price. All staff are super friendly. A fun course for the average golfer. You won't be disappointed.
1st time
Old school course, reminds me of the muni courses I grew up on. Fairways and greens in great condition, especially for 110 degrees in the summer. Only saw a few burn spots. I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my time. Played with a buddy and it was about a 2 hr and 45 min round.
Great Rate-Fun Course
This was not my first time playing this short, but tight track; and it certainly won't be my last. Always well kept, as this is closed to the public in the winter for members only, Apache Well G.C. winds through the old and new retirement community nicely, with challenging longer par 3s, and a little water and sand to keep it interesting. And for $10+ tax, on a weekend, it can't be beat! The greens were a little shaggy and we saw the beverage cart one time on number 5, but overall a good fun time in the East Valley. Enjoy!
Not Good Experience
Took over an hour to play two holes. When I got to the third tee box there was three groups waiting. Turned around and went home. Not happy!!!
First and last at Apache
My first time playing on the course's weekend double shot gun start at 8:00 am and 1:00 pm, and probably my last. The course was lush and green, but very flat, with little undulation on the greens and wide open fairways. However, the overall experience was disappointing.
I showed up at 7:30 am to find a 20 min. wait to pay with only 1 person working the desk for a full field shotgun! No surprise, the start was delayed. As the round proceeded, there were 2 and 3 group waits on every par 3. After a 5 hr. + round on a very short course, I went into the restaurant for a beer. I self served my first and when my larger group arrived, I order some food and another drink. The drink came right away, but 40 mins. after ordering most of our groups food had still not arrived and I left hungry at 2:30 pm.
I got a good rate because of our large group but I won't be back.
Really Improved
Played this course 4 years ago and was not impressed. Played November 2014 and what a difference. Went from goat ranch to Country Club. They had just over-seeded and was the course in great shape. Greens rolled terrific and fairways plush. Staff was excellent and what I like most was the morning and afternoon shotgun starts. Played 3 times in 5 days, all in the morning shotgun, and was finished every time in 3 1/2 hours.
apache wells
excellent all around I would recommend it to all my friends
Good for practice round
Wide open.
Flat.
Minimal difficulty. Slope 114.
Slow greens.
Good course for duffers or for better players in need of some live practice.
Course "private" during the high season.
Good. Deal
Good deal for $10. The course is green and a faily straight forward layout. For above average hitters it's not a Driver course. Greens were very fuzzy, uncut, however it has just rained heavily the day before. It's worth playing to practice, but don't expect it to be manicured to your expectation.
