Rating 66.7

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.

Love this course!

We had friends in town - the first place we thought of for their Phoenix golf experience with us. Small rattlesnake on Hole 3 - at cart path!

Great fun day at the course and dinner at Tonto Bar & Grill.

With this said…maybe the course should have snake bite antivenum available.

Fun but short

While not considered a long course it is challenging because it’s somewhat narrow. Overall it was fun to play and GolfPass made it affordable. We would have paid nearly 2x without GolfPass.

Beautiful but challenging course. Definitely don’t miss.

My favorite course during a 4 day golf trip. Was in perfect shape from tee box to green. Got caught behind a group of local players who were slow but they only played 9 so it worked out. Still finished under 4 hours. There are a few blind shot holes and the group behind us hit into us a few times. The staff was great. Very accommodating.

Fun Course

It’s a little short but narrow so it can be a challenging course. There is quite a bit of elevation between holes. Beautiful views of the surrounding area.

Staff was excellent and with GolfPass the greens fees were very affordable.
