Cave Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Cave Creek Golf Course is Phoenix's most popular municipal course, seeing about 100,000 rounds yearly. In 1983, Cave Creek began as a landfill reclamation project. It's a sort of pioneer in environmental design, proving similar spots can find environmentally friendly uses. It's open dawn to dusk, year-round.
Eighteen holes of par-72 golf take golfers over 6,732 yards on the Cave Creek Golf Course, kicking off on the par-4 first hole, which measures 363 yards from the blue tees, before things get long on the second hole, which measures 510 yards from the blue tees. That's just one of four long holes, with the sixth hole measuring 532 yards from the blue tees, the 11th coming in at 521 yards from the blue tees, and the sixth having a distance of 518 yards from the blue tees. The round concludes after a suggested playing time of four hours and 10 minutes on the 18th hole, a par 4 that measures 388 yards from the blue tees.
The city of Phoenix has contracted with several hotel chains to offer stay-and-play packages for golfers at the Cave Creek Golf Course and other municipal tracks.

Cave Creek
The fairways were in great shape. The cart paths were spotty at best. The greens were poor.

So So Course
This course is built on a former landfill. Unfortunately, some areas on the course still show old tire rims, bed springs and other debris sticking out of the hillsides. Messy!

For Canadians
Greens have great contours, pretty long course for an average lady golfer but great for me. Scenic views of the mountains, Fairways are average. Better than shoveling snow.

Great muni track and of course paired with great locals. Conditions are great and the pace of play was a surprise. Quick mid-day round in about 4 hrs. Food was great. Fees are well worth the price. Would definately play again.

Best deal for the money
I have played courses that cost more and are not nearly as nice. To me Cave Creek provides everything the more expensive courses do. Very well kept up with a friendly staff and great practice facility also.

good course
Great value for the money, has an interesting and tricky layout and has a challenging green. the pace of play was not good that day and there was no marshall to guide the players. They can do something with the cart path, it is in ruins.
