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.

Price difference
The rate said 30 on the app and was 35 when we got there. The coarse was decent and fun to play.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
Whatever
Somehow a foursome booked the same tee time as me and they double charged me (both the app and the course). The guy in the pro shop wasn't very helpful. I was told I could go ahead of the foursome and wait in the line of 5 groupings currently waiting for the first tee. Since it was just me, decided to just play the back 9. Took about 70 mins which is a ridiculous pace, but no one was pushing me from behind. The course was just ok. Wouldn't use the app to book and there's probably better options out there

Average
The fact that it is built over an old landfill says it all! Grounds keeping has just finished punching the greens so there is that and it still has it’s rough edges. Has some interesting holes on the back nine but the front is blahhhhh!!! Hadn’t played it in a few years and pretty much understood why once I was on the course....

Considering the time of year we played, the course was fine
Friendly staff and the course was as good as could be expected for the beginning of summer and 106 degrees. Come prepared with plenty of water and wet towels and you will do just fine.

CCGC off 19th and Greenway
Nice little course. The back nine is in better shape than the Front. Challenging fast greens with a lot of undulation. As always with courses here in the valley, it is not in as nice of condition in the summer VS. the Winter. Yesterday was a 5 hour round. As with most courses, they get greedy and pack in as many people as possible without properly spacing out the Tee-Times. Always a laid back atmosphere with a friendly staff.

Terrible service!!
We played this course twice before and always at the time to pay they come with extra fees. This time they increased the cart fee to 15 per person but they don’t have carts available. You have your tee time but no cart, so you need to wait 40 minutes to get the cart . You pay based on the time time because you don’t want to play when the weather reaches the highest temperature or the course has more people. This is not an honest course, the take advantage of the players and the situation
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Decent Course
A decent layout but in rough shape off of the fairways. Cart paths on the front nine are awful, Some hidden ponds on the back nine. Greens putted better than they look. Not difficult.

Value and good conditions from tee to green
Course condition was very good. Misunderstood cart availability with green fees when booked on-line. Supposed to be fee for walking only. Called course yesterday and was told cart was included. Today course wanted $16 more to ride. Lady provided cart this time only. In future expect to pay extra for golf car.

Because of a n emergeny I wasn't able to play and hah to cancel, but I have played this course many times in the past and of the three municipal courses it rate third. However, said that, if the fairways don't dry out it is a testing yardage even from the white tees for a 15 handicapper.
two thumbs up
Great value and the course was in very good condition. Staff was super friendly and accommodating.
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
