Style Desert
Par 70
Length 6016 yards
Slope 128
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.

A perfect day.

I really like the course. I am 80 and it helps me that it is not too long. The weather was ideal and I had a really fun day.

Great views, but….

As advertised, great views. Very short layout, narrow fairways, target course, with postage stamp greens. Many Tee Boxes had dead grass and mulch on them. Some of the fairways were the same condition in spots. Overall conditions were OK , not great. Bring lots of balls and patience. The pro shop and staff were great as were the marshals and server's on the course. The views are excellent.

Frost delay? really?

Probably my favorite course in the area based on value. BUT.... ran into a 'frost delay' again when low temps get no where near freezing - very frustrating.

Great day on the links

Started late due to frost, but turned out magnificently. Some greens were still bumpy in spots , some bunkers a little hard but in general the course is in perfect shape.

Highly recommend!
