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.

!st time player

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.

Tight course with great mountain views

Course is lots of fun. It’s a tight track with lots of elevation change. Driver stays in the bag for the bulk of the course. Great mountain views and road runners on about every hole. Summer greens have dry spots, but for the value it’s a great course.

Nice Course, but BAD greens!

The course is a great layout and setting, but the greens are VERY POORLY maintained! Greens should be MUCH smoother and more consistent. However, the staff is always excellent! If the greens were in better condition, I would HIGHLY recommend this course.

Hot day on fun course

Hot day but course has lots of personality! Friendly staff…pace of play was slow today (nearly five hours). Some greens have been affected by heat.

I always look forward to this challenging and fun course.

I shot low!

Middle of July 118 degrees so nobody on the course. The fairways and greens were green, tee boxes in great shape, guy at the counter and the cart guy were friendly. Girl at the snack shop made sure I had enough water and ice. I got my 2nd eagle ever on the 8th hole, lots of lucky bounces and I shot well below my handicap. It’s a fun course, no two holes are alike. If you are in the fairway this course plays nice, but if you are not in the fairway bring a lot of balls.

Javelina’s and all

This was the first time that I have played this course. While it is a short course, it has lots of elevation changes, and a very fun layout. The views are fantastic, and the slightly cooler temperatures help make the game more enjoyable. Javelina’s, rabbits, families of quails everywhere. Looking forward to my next round here.

This little course is short bu very Sporty.

Great short course, a real bargain! The only complaint l have are the price on Hot Dogs. At 10.00, per HotDog, I think it’s outrageous! I love a good Hotdog and beer at the turn.i passed it up this time!

Bumpy greens

The course is fun just because of the layout and changes in elevation. During this round, I saw rabbits, quail, javolina’s and 3 deer. The greens are unpredictable and quite bumpy. Don’t expect to make any well hit putts.

Great views with challenging holes!

course was in decent shape given time of the year.. some greens had rough patches but overall for price this was good deal. The views have always been 5 star for this course. the layout can be challenging if never played, where to hit not necessarily how long it is. friends enjoyed it and the Tonto grill is nice place to relax after round. recommend place for the right price.

Great Course w/ One Bad Apple

Actaully all the staff was amazing with the exception of Mr. Moore in the golf shop. He does not need to be in front of any guests. His bad attitude and approach to guests is terrible. Other than that I would go back and also recommend others.

Bad greens

The greens were horrible. Not enough sand was placed on the greens to fill in the holes. Greens were very slow and bumpy, don’t bother. The conditions here don’t warrant the cost

Lovely course. Greens need attending

I love this course. Great layout and wonderful AZ scenery. The greens need attention though. So inconsistent, furry, bumpy, slow. Until it’s fixed, take a two putt and move on.

Also, really slow pace. Marshall needs to do a better job at telling golfers to pick up the pace and forget about searching for lost balls.
