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.

Don't!

I fell for it again. About every 2 years I venture out to Rancho Manana expecting something better or improved. It is BAD every single time. Tee boxes uneven, dirt and not great fairways, and the greens are horrible (like mowed weeds). I am done with this course forever. Simply a "tourist" course for the views.

Bad Greens

Greens were fast but they were in bad shape. Rest of the course was in good condition, except bunkers. Views are phenomenal and the property itself is beautiful.

Slow on Weekend

Fairways and grees are in pretty good shape...we managed to get behind 4 groups of 3 who were a Batchelor party and some had never seen a goofball before. but that is not the fault of the course....round took 4hrs and 40 minutes.....sw a couple of marshals, but not sure they said anything to anyone

Disappointed

Played here in March and course was in good condition. Last week, fairways were burned out with lots of dirt patches, many greens had damage and in rough condition and the tee boxes were in terrible shape too. Very disappointed- this is not the Rancho Manana I am used too.
