Cave Creek Golf Course
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.

Course conditions good and price a little high for city course. Mr. Bell did a good job of his course design. Appreciated the black top repair on the way in. That took way too long. To repair.
Saturday play
Started with a 1:04 tee time and completed my round before it got dark. Greens are in good shape and fairways are fairly lush, but divots abound. Walked the course, but the last two holes are uphill, so be in good shape.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
Second round this week - Much Better
Second round played this week at cave creek. 4 hr round. Greens were fast but Consistent. Fairways good. Pace of play good unlike the previous marathon I encountered. Good value for a round of golf in January. Will return

a bit crowded
The course was a bit crowded. We were behind a large group or outing. Slowed things down a bit. The course was in decent shape.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
Good SLOW Round
Nice layout. Fairways and greens quite good. Greens consistent throughout. Had fun other than the 5 hr round. Foursomes walking this course is a detriment to timely play. There are many holes wheee u walk a heck of a long way between tee boxes. Folkish pay the extra 15 bucks and drive. I guarantee u will still get your exercise. Other than the 5 hr round had fun
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cave Creek Golf Course thanks you!

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.
Great course
Great course for the money. Although pace of play was slow and the 5some in front of us really slowed play. And would not let our 3some play through.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
Good round
The course was packed! Solid foursomes throughout the course. The parking lot (which has been totally repaved) was overflowing.
The pace was a little slow, but we kept moving. I played here a couple weeks ago after all the rain. The course has dried out a bit since then. There are still some puddles around, but no big deal. I will most likely be back in a few weeks.
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.
Fun Muni
It had just rained for two days straight. Obviously, the course was wet. There were a few more water hazards than normal. heh. The wash that flows through the course was running like a river. Kind of neat to see actually. It did not cause any problems. You just have to remember to go across the cement bridge after the 5th hole after teeing off on the 11th and 18th holes. After we got through a 4-some that did not know golf etiquette we finished playing in about 4 hours. Other than the standing puddles because of the rain the course was in very good shape. The greens still need to thicken up a bit, but they are almost there. Everything else about the course was good. We saw the beverage girl about 4 times throughout the round. I've yet to try the new cantina which has been remodeled.
We had a good time playing this course.

Easy course and great value
Flat, open, course makes play quick and easy for all types of players. Good value, but the course is a public looking course, but has a couple of nice holes that are tough. Some water does challenge players off the tee, as well as a couple of cliff tees. Good walking course.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
Cave Creek Golf Course
Not a bad course, as long as you get golf now deal it's worth playing. Good mix of holes, challenging but fair. Not a PGA TPC type but very playable for a muni course.
Have a great round.
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.
Good value
Course is fun and has its challenges. Nice change of pace from flat desert courses. Very good shape for a municipal course. Great value. Definitely would play it again.

Great Pace of Play
I had a single tee time for 10:08, joined 2 others (1 walking).
There were many foursomes in front of us- we only waited about 3 times to hit our shots-finished 18 holes in just under 4 hours- awesome!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course.
