Length 6016 yards

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.

Beautiful vistas especially on front nine. Fairways are quite nice. Tees are beat up. Greens are very slow. Virtually no sand in green side bunkers. Could be a gem with a little more work and attention.

Beautiful course

Nice weather and a beautiful course. Course was in good shape and especially;;y the first nine holes have beautiful; views. It was a pleasure playing there ! The only issue was pace of play. There was no ranger in the course to speed up flights in front of us.

Overall a great day.

Beautiful course, lacking a marshall

We had a beautiful day on the excellent course of Rancho Mañana. Course was in great condition the only problem was pace of play. A marshal would help a lot to speed up the play. There was one group in front of us that did not know the rules and they played several balls and it took them forever. As a result groups piled up behind us. This can be prevented by an active marshal. Other than that I certainly recommend this course!

Great course, but extremely backed up on Sunday afternoon. 2 hours 30 minutes to play 8 holes, then we quit due to number of players waiting on #9.

Fun course to play

Course was in good condition. Pace of play was slow but the staff explained that to us before we teed off. Greens were great to putt on. Range was crowded but found a slot to hit balls rather quickly. Nice chipping green.

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.
