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.

Outstanding high desert course

Pace of play is always slower because of the tight, turning fairways.

Scalped for over seeding lead to ball running. (Nice!)

Greens ere slower but true.

Played my anerage dame with a 92.

Overall really fun course. Multiple elevation changes and some blind shots. The fairways are narrow and rough is basically out of bounds. With good conditions this course is fun, but greens aren’t good as they are prepping for overseed 9/18.

All kinds of blind shots

So instead of playing the 6000 yard blues I played the 5400 yard whites at the suggestion of the starter and he was spot on. Learn the layout before you blindly whale away, you’ll have more fun. It was in good summer shape but the greens were very firm. I hit a lot of good irons that went long. I’d play it again tomorrow.

Great course, but not for high handicap

The course was in excellent condition. Fairways were impeccable and greens rolled true. The views are excellent, and the price I paid was more than fair. As a 20 handicap, though, I would not play this course again. The fairways are narrow and the greens are small, and they are surrounded by trees, bushes and desert. I took 10 penalty strokes on balls that would have been very playable on 9 out of 10 courses I play regularly. If you can consistently hit greens and fairways, I imagine this would be a very fun course to play.

The course overall was in good condition. The greens were really slow. Great views. This is a really short course, an 16 hole course crammed into a 16 hole lot Bunkers needed sand.

Surprise!

Mid-August, record heat, no rain…

and this course is in surprisingly good shape. One of my favorites, always friendly staff,& good practice facilities. Plus I love the layout. It’s fun to play a course where you don’t grab driver on every hole.
