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.

Information is Key
The staff was very nicer. Sadly the course, cart path, and tee boxes are completely lacking. Greens have been recently punched, there was no warning for this, at all.

Good course few complaints
The course cart paths are non existent and a few of the cart paths were totally destroyed, (probably from the recent storms). The course layout was interesting and kept you engaged. Greens a little fast. Slower than normal pace and no golf marshal in sight.

Cheap PHX Golf
Cave Creek is an affordable public course and great for players that need an open layout. There are a couple holes with hazards that challenge you to make a shot at times. A few of the greens are in poor shape.

WELL MAINTAINED TRACK!!
Compared to a lot of courses, during this 114 degree heat, this course is holding up, really well. Fabulous greens, great to putt on. Every sand trap actually had fluffy sand. The fairways we're lush, green, not totally burned out....Hats off to the maintenance crew.
The gentleman behind the counter was very pleasant. All shirts were 50% off, but they didn't have my size. I did purchase a hat and towel for my wife. Cali, in the restaurant, made me an awesome hotdog and chips....,...A perfect day, a perfect course to play.
I will definitely book another tee time, real soon....
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, brucep2! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cave Creek Golf Course.

Customer service
The guys in 5he clubhouse didn’t seem all that hospitable. The beverage cart girl came around while we were on the 3rd hole. Then we never saw her again. The Marshall was a pretty good guy.
Hello, u5107293. Thank you for visiting us at Cave Creek Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
First time playing this course
Guys at club house check in were not very friendly, but the rest of the experience was really fun. Course was a little dry, but that is to be expected. Marshall gave us a few tips as he was stationed at the first tee box, and the Cart girls came by twice and were friendly,
