Rancho Manana Golf Club

A short target style course with scenic views. Shot placement off the tee is a premium but you never need to hit more than a hybrid or long iron. Course was in good shape except for the tee boxes which were dirt, looked like they’ve not moved the markers in a month. Pace of play was slow but you have nice views to enjoy. Play it once for something different than your typical layout.

This is one of our favorites- great course at a reasonable price!

We’ve played here before and knew if we wanted to finish we couldn’t start much after 12:00. We got a 12:12 tee time and unfortunately, Mother Nature threw a little frost on the course that morning. We got out at about 12:30 and finished the front nine at 3:15. Fortunately the pace picked up a bit and we finished before dark at around 5:30. Fortunately, the views while you are waiting are great. The greens are firm but in good shape. The tee boxes need some TLC. The price of golf in the Scottsdale area is high but this one may be a little over priced.

I have played this course many times, like the layout, course conditions are always good and the pace of play usually good. Unfortunately we got stuck behind a very slow group and we’re not able to engage the Marshall to move them along. Result was a 5:05 round which is completely unacceptable. Otherwise no complaints.

Played at Starr Pass- Tubac Resort and Rancho Manana while on vacation. This course is beautiful and in excellent condition. Very tight and using a driver on many holes is just asking for trouble. The layout and surrounding area is unmatched and would definitely return.

My son and I played this course for the first time. It is a very interesting layout. Very hilly with a lot of elevation changes, nothing too crazy just different from flat. We were paired with a nice couple that had played there before. We had a great time and would definitely go back again.

Unreal views, challenging golf, and a very memorable experience made this one of the best golf experiences in all of Arizona.

Enjoyed the course and will be back but it is really a bit strange, blind shots, long par 3s from the white tees. They desperately need senior tees!!

I haven't played Rancho Manana since 2022, after finishing 18 yesterday, it has to be in the best shape I've seen. From the tee-boxes to the lush fairways and beautiful greens, not a dead spot to be seen. Staff was very accommodating and friendly, Bruce the ranger was on top and attentive to the pace of play. Holes 4-9 are amazing and all signature-holes, however, we did get backed up at the par 3 9th. Made the turn and invited the 2some behind us to join and we finished 18. Tee-times later than 2pm will be a challenge to finish, but they do give heads-up before teeing off. Put this course on your list, it's well worth the drive to Cave Creek and you won't be disappointed.

Pro shop & starter great. Stacking up tee times too close together will always cause backup somewhere. Spent 20 minutes waiting to tee off on 9. On the back it was better, maybe some people quit. Course gets a ton of play evidently from the tee boxes (well used). Marshall on the course did his best to keep things moving. 3 beers & hot dog $32, little pricey for me. Should be a $90 course but it's Phoenix in the winter.
