Rancho Manana Golf Club has one of the prettier courses in Cave Creek-Scottsdale, located high in the Sonora and combining vistas with testing golf. It offers a par-70 championship golf course laid out over elevations that change dramatically right up alongside the untouched desert and the indigenous wildlife that comes with that, as well as an old-school dude ranch that has been incorporated into the golf resort. Low-handicap golfers will be challenged by the golf course, but it's not so tough that other levels of golfer will be turned away.

The Rancho Manana Golf Club offers golf to the public and is conveniently located just 20 minutes off the highway.

After a round of golf at the Rancho Manana Golf Club, stick around for around and maybe some eats at the Tonto Bar & Grill, which has received several awards and is listed among Arizona's top 100 restaurants.

Great course, only cold because I went out early. The course is a little too easy, only because the starter said not to play the back tees. I am 15 handicap and should have played the back tees, I was within 10 yards on a lot of the par 4s on my drive and the same with the par 5s on my second shot. I only drive 250 - 270, I should not be within 10 yards of a par 5 on my second shot. The only reason I shot an 83 was because I counted my score and thought I would be in the 70s, choked on the last 2 holes because of it.

I do want to say this, the course is in excellent shape and overall, an amazing course. just play from the back tees to make it a little more challenging.

Never disappointed to play at Rancho

Absolutely my favorite course in Cave Creek! We play it as much as we can when we are in the Scottsdale, AZ, area. Staff is excellent, course is always in great shape, plays like target golf, but rewards going for it shots. Always beautiful views and just an awesome location overall.

Lunch or dinner at Tonto Grill is always a treat, give it 5 stars for food and drinks.

Overall, you can't s be the value for money here at Rancho! Will be back next year, and can't wait!

So much fun

My first round since November and Rancho’s tight fairways made their presence felt. This short course is so much fun with reachable par fives and cool par threes with big elevation changes. My only minor complaint was that the greens were a bit bumpy. Otherwise this is a fun day of golf. Also, the ladies tees are really good for shorter hitting women. Check it out!!

Nice course but Crowded with slow pace of play

We had no carts when we arrived and did not have carts until right up to our tee time. This seems to be the case every time we have played there. Because of a knee problem we did not walk to the driving range. The tee times seemed bunched together. We waited on every hole and did not get finished before dark. The course and greens were in very good condition.

Tough desert mountain course. Great layout and views. Weekends can be a little slower with pace of play. Course was in good shape with the exception of a few bunkers that were packed wet sand. A bunch of blind shots. Its target golf in the mountains of AZ

Fun course. Nice views.

The course was in good shape. Certain areas including the front collars were mushy from overwatering. Greens putted well. Overall, a good experience. Maybe a little overpriced, but reasonable for the area.

Beautiful scenery and surroundings in desert setting.

Nice course. More information about frost delays would have been appreciated. Play somewhat slow at times. Narrow challenging fairways. Beautiful scenery.
