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.

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.

Experience at Rancho Manana.

Beautiful scenery, but pace of play was really unacceptable.

Pace of play

Course conditions were ok., greens were slow and could have been cut a little more. The real problem was the pace of play. On the front we had 3 groups waiting to hit on a par 3, twice. We made the turn at a shade under 3 hours. I went in after 9 and complained in the pro shop regarding the pace of play, I was informed that it is quicker on the back. I said 3 hours to play 9 is not acceptable. We played 10 & 11 and headed home, very disappointing from all aspects. Best part were the views

Secret gem in Cave Creek

I loved the course. It’s short but sweet. Lots of elevation changes, dog legs and gorgeous views. Will be back!

Great day

we were delayed with a frost delay but we used the very nice practice areas. The course was in very good shape except the men’s tee boxes. Most of them were dirt and sand. They should have been moved. Pace of play was pretty good and the weather was great. Will play again!!
