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.

Fun Day of Golf however...
Great day of golf. Sunday was a great day to play, it was on the warm side but not bad with a slight breeze. Everything was going well however our cart died and we were stuck in the middle of the fairway. We called the number on the scorecard and the guy that answered said he wasn't on site and he will TRY and reach someone at the course to assist lol.. what a joke.. nobody showed. There were 2 groups on the tee box waiting to hit so we stood on the side and yelling at them that our cart was dead.. the group finally teed off and then pushed us to the club house.. that was so awesome of them to do that.. when i got there i asked the girl at the cart barn if she received a call and she said no.. unbelievable. Chimera needs to fix that ASAP..
Worth the Time
enjoyed the threesome I played with. The pace was unusually slow… but the ranger engaged to solve- thanks!
Great Course for the Price
The course offers a wide array of challenges and forces players to make use of each club in the bag. ... however, the greens were much slower than anticipated. Pace of some players was slow. Overall would love to play again.
Good course playing for first time here last few holes winds picked up
I liked it
I liked the layout of the course. And yes, you also get to enjoy a little golf cart off-road adventure at the same time. It's a full course, so you better know how to hit your driver, especially from the tips. The greens are large and challenging/ fast rolling. Just wish they would offer a few more discounts earlier in the day.
Where's the cart path?
1st time playing this course. Right away, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The layout is pretty cool but the condition of course is lacking and the cart path is about 25% completed, very strange to play a course without a cart path. Overall, a good value.
Good layout, good value
This is a good course and a great value for the Phoenix area in early April. I'd recommend it.
Very enjoyable course!
I loved the layout and course was in good shape. Definately not a flat course and has large, challenging greens. I'll definitely be back.. wish there were more deals earlier in the day.
Dirt Track
We’ve played several of the cheaper courses in the Phoenix area the past 2 weeks and this was by far the worst. The layout is confusing and it was like a construction zone if you weren’t on the fairways. The cart paths are mostly dirt and it was like off roading in a golf cart. The greens are tricky and gimmicky- surprisingly I only 3 putted twice. Good thing we got a discount on GN or I would be really upset if I paid top dollar.
Negative Reviews are BUNK
Arizona is a desert and water does not fall free from the sky. The golf carts are gas but the other option is walking. Anyone who lives here knows how expensive it is to have great value muni courses. It is challenging to anyone who isn’t a tour player. There are elevation changes, hills and water hazards when water is flowing 3 days a year. It’s an amazing value for the money and fun.
First and last time
Worst condition of all courses this year
Tee boxes rough
Fairways no grass harsh as rock
Greens too much roll not fun to put on
When I asked for a refund I was denied
Di not waste your time or money on this one
Not bad for a muni course
The condition of the course was not too bad. The greens were in pretty good shape. I enjoyed playing there.
