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
Practise course management
Only time we could get on at a reasonable rate was 3:00. So could only play 16 holes. March prime time and beautiful weather. Cart paths are not well marked and difficult to see due to high knolls. Lunch at the canteen was quite good. Great day overall.
Thanks so much for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your time, and appreciate your feedback. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course!

I arrived late because I mixed up my reservation days and they got me on right away,
Pace was good for the first nine but slow on the second.
Greens were fast and holes were put in tough spots but it was a great day out there.
I scored well and that also helped
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cave Creek Golf Course.

overall a good exp;erience. But there was a lot of ground under repair on the course.

Hit and miss
Fairways and greens are in good condition although no one repairs there divots on the greens, which is really too bad, and they need to have no carts with in 20 to 30 yards of the greens have a lot of idiots that drive right up to the greens. Fairways are so so they do have there rough spots but over all are not bad. The rough is really rough I’ll move my ball to a clump of grass before I destroy my club on a bunch of rocks.. cart paths basically none existing really really rough.
Over all it’s a good place to practice and for the dollar value it is decent.
