Rancho Manana Golf Club
About
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.

Cave Creek Golf
Course was well maintained and in excellent condition. You did have to go through some construction as they are building a new bridge. Course is definitely target Golf narrow fairways, but beautifully maintained..
Fun Course
Really enjoyed this course. Great value for the money. Great conditions. Can’t wait to go back and play it again. Has some really cool holes.
Construction
Very nice course but the bridge construction takes away from a couple holes
Perfect Condition
Views Views Views. In my Top 5 now
What a great course
Go Elsewhere!
This course is a one & done for me. From the “tips” it plays only 6,000 yards. Greens are postage stamps, fairways are narrow, tee boxes have grass akin to rough at some courses. I do not see why they’re still charging upwards of $100 for what you get. All in all, I was disappointed with everything about course. It’s the epitome of target golf with extreme elevation changes, fairways that cut on strange angles from the tee box, and greens that don’t allow for any errors. There’s not one area of the course that provides any kind of reprieve from the brutality; even Pete Dye designs provide wide fairways and only punish at the green complex - this course punishes from tee to green and you’re simply not able to miss a shot, even a couple yards off target will result in penalization, either of your scorer, your mental well-being, or both. The views are magnificent and the place is lush and green, but those two values alone aren’t enough to pull me back into the fold here.
Nice course!
Beautiful tranquil views, grass and greens were well kept. Cart path is under construction on 3/9. Course is a little short, might play the back tees next time. Overall satisfied with the round.
The course conditions are like playing on asphalt
The tee boxes are all crowned in the middle with no level hitting area. They are so hard it was impossible to push tees in all the way. I would have to find a broken one to use. Even the fairways are hard as a rock with little grass. The greens are literally concrete.
Too many negatives to ever go there again.
Nice gradual improvement to the course
I have played Rancho Manana for 25 years. The new ownership group is making positive progress in the course
New bridge construction between holes 2 and 3
Greens are in excellent condition for late summer
Things to do still tee boxes need some more leveling
Would love to see divot repair soil at each tee box
GPS on carts would be great ( but I realize most people have their own GPS )
Perfect
Love this course .. mine and my husband’s favorite in the area .. great holes, great pace of play, beautiful views
Marshall made us skip a hole because we were not on a “4 hour pace” even though we sped up beyond group after first warning.
Stay away
Having played this course numerous times, I can say it is in the worse condition I have ever seen! Quit after 10 holes. Too dreadful to even go into detail about!
