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.

Playing the Cave Creek city golf course
My wife and I got a good price for playing at Cave Creek due to hot deal and a great monthly gift from GolfPass.
We were partnered with two singles, who were fun to play with. The course was busy with many mixed groups of 2, 3, 4 people. This turned out to be a real problem as the group behind us got impatient, and, started hitting into us. There was no ranger available, or came by to help...
I do not recommend this course until the starter(s), course management start grouping people into foursomes. This could have easily been done, but, wasn't.
Pace of play was 4.5 hours plus...
Course itself is wide open with a few holes that had water. On a 1-10 in terms of landscaping, condition of course, conditions of greens, I would give this course a 6-7..
Great course
Love this course. Play one week and the greens are slow, next week fast.

Horrible cart paths
First time playing Cave Creek. Course layout is OK. Overall condition of the fairways, tee boxes, bunkers and greens was OK Cart paths were horrible, other than the limited concrete sections. Doubt we will be back to play this course for the price we paid.

Course in decent shape
Needs Marshall to watch people hitting balls on top of you.
People driving carts looking for their ball in the wrong fairway driving towards you waiting to hit
Some people have no clue or manners

Great greens
Solid course. The greens here are always fast and true to the eye.
Tee boxes and fairways were great today too. Holes 8 & 9 need your full attention on the front.
11,12,14,16,17 and 18 all have teeth if you get too greedy off the tee you’ll get bit.
Don’t get me wrong if your steady off the tee it’s very playable and forgiving on slightly off drives.
It’s in great condition right now !
