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.

Slow play

We had a 20 minute delay to start and then let latecomers to a tournament start in front of us and then we kept coming up on bottleneck again and 6 holes in 1 hour and 45 minutes

Rude starter and on course staff

Have played here many times and this was the first occassion I have experienced this. The comments made to our group by the starter and one of the on course Marshall’s were simply unnecessary and not appropriate under the playing conditions.

Short course

Short course that is way too expensive for what you get. Greens were slow and fuzzy; sand traps were rock hard underneath. Fairways were very good; the layout wasn't that interesting. They say they have great views but I really didn't think it was that special. Its a resort course and therefore pace of play was slow. 5 hours

Love the course

I play Rancho several times a year. Love the course because although not long it’s challenging. Elevations and views are spectacular. My only complaint is they need more sand in the traps but if you’re not in them it’s not an issue. This is a course you can play with all your clubs. Highly reccomend and bring my visiting golf friends here every time.

Fun day at the course

Fun par 70. Lots of layups off the tee, maybe had the opportunity to hit driver more if you knew which cactus to aim at… Greens were a little on the slow side & extremely receptive (which is fine for target golf). Some of the tee boxes were extremely chewed up which was frustrating. Lots of beautiful views and fun shot shaping opportunity’s to be had.

Awesome golf course.

This course is a beautiful desert course, on par with The Boulders South course and a lot less expensive. I was wowed the entire way and then had dinner in their restaurant which was spectacular with a fantastic patio and excellent food. This is in my top tier of golf courses.
