Rating Snapshot
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 Track
Love playing this course to warm up my game. It’s challenging but open enough to do some scoring if you can hit fairways. A couple of the fairways need some repair but the South is a good value course.

Bang for a buck
reasonable tee boxes, fairways and greens with an occasional peak into shanty town. I only play here on the cheap because the city of Phoenix has lost their dang minds when it comes to rack rates at their municipal courses.

Rough
Gas carts, no cart paths, beat up driving range. Course conditions were below average. The layout and the greens are interesting.
