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.

Day out on the course!

Let’s go Agronomy team, very disappointed in the conditions of this course. I have played it many times over the years. It seems the course this time is struggling! I don’t mean the staff, there are always friendly! Many hot spots on several holes, tee boxes in rough shape, with crab grass, many boxes have started to crown very badly. One tee box I was hitting off nothing but crab grass. The palm trees around water on the back 9 in very poor condition, they haven’t been trimmed in some time. Lots of debris around the trunks and in the water. Overall very poor condition. I really enjoy this course usually and it’s close to

Home. Love Tonto Grill and frequent often but I’m not sure I will be back to golf in the current course condition.

Very poor, rough greens.

Poorly maintained, rough greens. And many fairways had a lot of thin/patchy areas with little grass.

Course needs MUCH better greenskeeping!!!

Rancho Manana in August

The course was in good condition for August in Phoenix. There were a few sparse areas on fairways. It is a beautiful course with great views. In the morning you need to get a great tasting bacon and egg croissant or breakfast burrito from the golf shack.

Great layout, very good condition.

IMHO this course was in fantastic condition considering it is mid summer here in AZ.

Even though it is built in steep terrain, the fairways were mostly level. The Pro Shop and starter very friendly and helpful.

Awesome Course

Rancho Manana is my favorite golf course in the North Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Great value for the money, awesome scenery and views, and challenging but rewarding hole layouts. Staff is always awesome. Pace of play can be pretty slow depending on the day, but I'm not someone who really cares about that. 5/5

Very disappointed. I had an 84-year-old friend ride along with me in the golf carts. They charged me $15 for him to ride with me. My tee time, I only paid $17. When I asked them about it (they’ve) never charged me before, they said, "We probably missed it." The starter was so unfriendly. I tried to talk to him to find out about the course, all he did was shrug his shoulders and walk off. The staff was not friendly at all. I work in the golf industry so (it was) disappointing to have a beautiful course like that have people that don't seem to care about taking care of customers.

Holes 1 and 10 have a burm/water hazard just shor to the green but no where on the card is it shown and the players assistance failed o mention it. 2 players lost their ball on the first hole, 1 on the 10th, not knowing of this hazard. Otherwise course was ok.
