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.

Bumpy Greens

The course was in its usual state of good shape. The greens were bumpy and difficult to read. I suspect they were recently punched. The higher elevation kept the temps in check. Great views.

Course conditions were horrible

I took my sons out to play here because I have had experiences here in the past. The fairways are mostly dried out and the greens were hairy and spotty. Staff were great.

Beautiful view

There were some patchy spots on the greens and the tee boxes were a little worn but, overall, the course is absolutely beautiful and the views are hard to beat. Staff was very friendly and helped my partner find his range finder. We stayed for lunch which was very good - highly recommend the organic grass fed burger. Looking forward to returning one day.
