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.

Disappointing pace for a Great course

1st time playing Rancho. Course layout and views were amazing, but would not have chosen to play here if we knew were would be waiting at every Teebox except #1 and almost every next shots. Several times waiting with 2 groups ahead of us on a few of the tee boxes. 4hrs and 45 minutes to play the round was very frustrating. Glad we did not pay full rate and had the Golfnow deal.

Good course, slow play

Pace of play was very slow. With a big group in front of us, there should have been more time between tee times.

Horrible pace of play!

There were literally four groups on each hole. We could only make it through eight holes had to go in and try to negotiate getting a rain check or getting our money back. The Ranger was absolutely worthless would not do his job to get people moving along or skip holes, I would absolutely not recommend this course Due to pace of play. It’s a pretty place but definitely not fun to have three and four groups on each hole.

not worth the money

Played here for the first time. Course is narrow, target shots. The starter does not recommend using a driver. Greens were on the slower side. There are blind shots and you could be in danger of getting hit by an errant ball. Not worth the price.

Challenging and fun course

This course is beautiful and the staff are friendly and fun. There is a bonus for hitting the fairways. We had lots of laughs at our male playing partners hitting their drivers into the cactus on each side of the fairway.

Dinner at the Tonto Grill was a beautiful place to watch the sunset.

Great Round, bad terms from GolfNow

Love this course, although overpriced. We had to cancel one player for COVID and GolfNow would only offer credit for GolfNow in next 12 mo's as a refund. Problem: I don't plan to use GolfNow in next 12 mo's. Turned into a very expensive round.

The course is in terrible shape. Carts are old . No gps. The price is crazy for how little you get. The poorest value in the area.

Great views with bumpy greens

This course is beautiful. The clubhouse and facilities are 1st class. I’ve played all over the valley since 1986. I really appreciate golf course architecture and this is well done. My only criticism would be the greens. I love the prefect and fast greens on the nice courses around here. But, these greens needed to cut and rolled badly. One would expect they would go this st least prior to the weekend but no. Disappointing.
