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.

Loved The Course

Really enjoyed the course. Loved the rolling hills and even the blind shots. Challenging, but rewarding. Will most certainly be back.

Great course! Beautiful views

First time playing at Rancho Manana after hearing about it for months since I moved here. The course is beautiful & so are the views! The only thing I would take away from this course when I played 5/31 were the greens. Putting wasn’t the greatest as there were a lot of dead spots and most of them were not smooth. Again, this is my first time playing here so I can’t say if this is normal, BUT overall I would 1000% play here again. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thanks!

What’s up with the course condition

Majority of the greens were a mess. But this was a midweek round, perhaps that was a potential reason. Course amenities for a supposed resort course are totally missing !

Always fun

Great layout if you read the course suggestions that are in your cart… ignore these at your frustration and peril.

We never waited on weekday 7:20 tee time. Done in 4 hours. Course was great but some of the greens had not been cut and were inconsistent.. but big deal. Best views in town and the fairways are perfect.

Starter

The starter not very friendly. Might be a little too old for the job. Didn’t great me. Just a tuff day for him. I love the coarse golf there every time I come to town. The other staff is great

Manana today

My wife and I enjoyed the course very much. Shotmaking was a premium. Small crowned greens required accuracy and a good short game. Our only complaint was that we never saw the beverage cart; but there was water available. We would definitely play it again.

Fun layout, beautiful scenery

Nice course for the casual golfer. Not a championship layout, especially in terms of yardage, but good for mid-high handicappers and women. In excellent conditions aside from somewhat lumpy and slow greens and compacted sand traps. Fantastic views from many holes and a great Sonoran experience in terms of both flora (many Saguaros and other desert cacti) and fauna (mule deer, javalinas, etc.)
