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.

Awesome staff!
Great experience!! Even though the pace was slow, we were able to find shade to wait at almost every teebox!! The fairways were in great shape and there’s the perfect amount of varying terrain to make it a challenging course. Can’t wait to play here again.

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.
