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.

Course conditions

We played with Golf paths only because of rain. There was no Provision for guests who had physical infirmities. I think a provision should be made

It took over 4.5 hours to play. I didn’t see a marshal anywhere. The group ahead of us were drinking and by the 10 th hole they held up play

This is a magnificent layout. But attention should be paid to the above

A must play in Arizona

This course was by far the most beautiful golf course that we played during our stay in Scottsdale. There are so many beautiful views from this course. The carts come with a ball and club washer. The courses were well maintained and they were pretty interesting from one hole to the next. We are new to golf and found this course to be challenging and not forgiving. We lost many balls but will definitely return every time we visit.

DEAD FISH

Not sure what went wrong with the small lake at the course,

But over 100 dead fish floating in the stale water.

Not a good look for such a nice coarse.

Hope to see “live” fish here soon ?????

Shot makers course

This is not a grip it and rip it course. Short accurate shots are needed to score low. You need to play this course a few times to learn the tricker holes. The lay is not to my preference, but that is my personal opinion. Pace of play was slow. Teed off at 2pm and got 11 holes in.

Average course, below average conditions

The views are excellent. The course conditions, not so much. Greens were slow and bumpy. All players in my foursome said the same thing. Even if you did read the green correctly the ball bounced on the way to the cup and went all over the place. Tee boxes were not level and completely full of divot marks. Fairways had a lot of thin spots in them, almost like the overseed didn't take or they shorted the amount of seed in places. Overall a quirky course where the driver stays in the bag on most holes. But a nice visual course and the day was perfect..
