About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Desert
Par 70
Length 6016 yards
Slope 128
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.

Never again!

Got paired up with 2 ladies. One has played the other hasn’t played. She was getting a lesson from her friend. Very frustrating! Pace was terrible! No rangers insight. Waiting 15 on every shot. Asked for a rain check and said there was no rain in the forecast. Terrible customer service. Never going back!

Summer Conditions

The course was in good condition. Keep in mind, it is summer conditions. The greens were not in good shape. They had been aerated and heavily sanded. There were a few that were completely dry and dead. Really had to have any consistency in putting. I still gave an overall rating of 4 ⭐️’s because the fairways and scenery were great.

Love this course!

Rancho is just a very beautiful/unique course. Beautiful views, great staff. You can get held up a little bit so expect that but, they are pretty good about having the rangers watch pace of play. LOVE this course and would definitely recommend.

Greens

One of the best courses I’ve played in a while. Some of the holes reminded me of Stoneridge and Prescott Valley because of the wild terrain and distance. The layout and fairways reminded me of one of the courses in Maui and now that I know that there is a resort connected to it. I will stay here and play. I would like to thank the staff for being friendly. God bless.

Great course, but didn’t realize they had aerated it

This is a very challenging course and you can lose a lot of balls! It’s beautiful as well. The only thing we didn’t realize was, they had aerated it a few days earlier and the greens were very bumpy. But they did give us an out if we wanted to, so we decided to go ahead and play. Had a great time!

Greens need TLC

Course was in generally overall good condition ; however, some tee boxes most-definitely needed leveling, while all greens were quite slow and extremely bumpy, making putting somewhat unfair.
