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.

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.

Play it Once

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.

Pretty average with slow play

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.

No help from the marshall.

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.

Best of times

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.

Great Day

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.

Good course but funky!

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!!
