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.

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!!

Great staff!

Overall course conditions are very good.

Only issue I noticed was some of the tee’s were showing some wear.

Pace of play was OK.

Definitely will be back during our 3 month stay.

Great layout

Staff very friendly and helpful. Had to pay for range balls. There was a one hour frost delay and we received that email as we arrived. Course was in good shape but many tee boxes are being poorly maintained.
