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.

Gorgeous Views

Beautiful course under some modifications but one of our favorites in Arizona. Friendly staff and golf pro shop. Terrain is challenging yet fun for the average golfer.

Highly recommend.

Course Review

We love playing Rancho Mañana. A quirky course but so much fun. Course was in good shape for summertime and the pace of play was excellent. People in the pro shop were great. The bridge on the front nine was under construction which made getting around a bit tricky. Overall an enjoyable time.

Green fees

We booked 18 holes under Golf Now for $30.00each for 18 holes . When we got there they said that was for nine holes and they charged each of us $13.00 more for another 9 holes . Total rip off.

Great course

This is a great target practice course that will have you questioning club selection. There is some construction on the course which caused a backup but it was still well worth the money

Beautiful course but overbooked.

Tee times weren’t spaced out which made for a long day waiting on every tee box. Lady in snack shack was rude.

The course is in a beautiful setting but is poorly maintained!

The greens were VERY poorly maintained. Most of them were slow, bumpy and a few even had crab-grass growing on them.

Afternoon golf

The golf course layout was not bad for a short course, however the greens were awful ( crab grass) in them. Pace of play was slow!

Pretty Course, Rude Pro Shop

This was the second time I've played this course. Mt first visit, I was very rudely greeted by an older man in the pro shop, something along the lines of "what do you want". I went back this weekend, when I checked in a different older man greeted me in a similar, discourteous manner. I don't understand why they would hire staff that cant pretend to be cordial to paying customers. He then proceeded to charge me a rider fee for my wife that cost more than half the amount of the round, mind you I teed off after 4pm as a single on a completely open golf course. I will not be going back solely off my interactions with these unpleasant pro shop employees. I'm hoping this is seen by management and addressed as it is unacceptable, been golfing 25+ years and haven't run into this.

Great course, real test.

This is a great course, with a fantastic layout.

A great test of golf.

As with all courses in Phoenix in the summer….. when it is the hottest you see the Bev cart the least. On hot humid days filling up at the turn is almost dangerous, hydration wise.
