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.

Good Experience

The course conditions were very good. The greens rolled great. The pace of play was decent. This time of year that’s a plus. Overall I would recommend this course.

Course did not match description

If this was the best of Phoenix public courses with 61,000 tee times in a year, remind me to not play any of the other courses. The course had gas golf carts and did not even include tees to play with. There were no paved golf cart paths and it was difficult to follow the ruts in the road that were full of rocks and felt like I was off roading in a 4WD. We had a Hot Deal at 2:40 and could have finished 18 holes, but we were so disgusted by the course that we quit after 9. If there are 61,000 rounds played at $50-$80/round, that’s $3M - almost $5M that comes into the course each year. Not sure what the money is being spent on, but it has not been on course improvements. We will never golf here again.

This course needs maintenance.

The actual course is decent and some holes challenging. The cart trails are like a goat track. Very rough. Greens and fairways were decent.

Great Muni

A great day for golf. Paired with tow awesome gentlemen who were regulars here. No bells and whistles just a solid course with some tricky greens. If you want pretty flowers, electric carts and paved paths don’t play here. If you want a good test of golf on a solid municipal course, give it a chance. Pace of play seems to be 4.5+ so be prepared for that. Would play again.

Great mid

Cave Creek is a great course for people not looking to break the bank or even find a last minute tee time. They do get busy, however I think with the dozens of courses in the area, this one takes a back seat. They take care of it pretty well, especially the fairways and greens. Price was phenomenal for what we got, even the clubhouse prices were good. Would play again.

Good layout, fairways, greens very good.

Rough around the edges, cart paths etc but if you can ignore that it is a fun, fair course at great value
