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.

Golfer Reviews
Excellent City Course, Great Bang for your Buck
This course is good for all levels off golfers. Highly recommend playing as it offers some challenging holes and then some fun holes that are a little easier to score on.
Good City course
If you like wide open and long holes, this is the course for you. Greens are in good shape and constant. Will be one of my regular courses.
Great course at a great price
I love this place! Course has a lot of variation in terms of holes with water and out of bounds running through the course but strangely it’s pretty open on most holes as well which helps a recreational golfer like myself. Greens have a lot of challenging slopes but are generally large and fun to play.
Cave creek golf course
Hot day but got a great price,?staff was very friendly, course was in very good condition. This played pretty long but we made it!
Slow play, didn’t see a ranger, greens were punched and wasn’t told
Poor Customer Service
I’ve golfed here a handful of times now, and the woman working mornings in the pro shop can come across as pretty unfriendly. The course is enjoyable, but the customer service could definitely be a little warmer.
The staff at this course need ya work on customer service
The pace of play was not great, there were kids playing in the group in front of us and they were running around. Also their parents were taking pictures at every hole. When we spoke to the staff, they became agitated at my group and did nothing about it.
Great public course
In good shape for Phoenix public course in summer conditions.
Great playing condition
Great tee boxes, fairways, and greens!
Cart paths need work -
Pace of play
A Marshall would be of great help! 4.75 hour rounds in the ‘down season’ is not acceptable at all!
Bad shape, seek other options
This course is rough, even by Arizona summer standards. There are far better options in the area. Played it on a hot deal, but would have been very upset had I paid full price. Layout is nothing to write home about, greens had been recently punched (with no advance notice) and golf cart sounded like it was about to explode. The only thing that saved the day was the positivity of the staff. Disappointing compared to literally every other phoenix city course.
They just aerated the course so the greens were playing rough and slow, but no big issue there. Lost some balls and had a great time. Had an amazing breakfast burrito at the turn. I can’t wait to get back out and play another round.
