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.

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.

First and Last

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.

Construction Zone Slow Play

I enjoyed the fellow we played with much more than the course. The play was extremely slow! The course conditions were not great. Some holes are in the middle of a construction zone and there was blowing dust.

Nice

Although they had some fresh seeding areas in some of the fairways, the greens were perfect. Lush grass, and very green, which made them roll pretty slow.

Don't be fooled by the distance. Even from the white tees at 5400yds, this course will be a challenge for anyone over a 10 handicap. Be sure to move up if you want to enjoy the round.

We got a great deal for this round. I wish it were always more affordable.

Sort of worth it

Beautiful property with a cool high dessert vibe. Great pro shop, we'll stocked. Staff was very amiable and easy to help if needed.

Course is a bit short but. the course architecture and views are excellent.

Greens were a bit long and bumby. No pure rolls here. Needed to be cut and rolled! Disappointing after playing many courses in the valley over 20 years.

Insanely slow with too many blind shots and slow bumpy geeens

As the title says, play was VERY slow, multiple holes with two groups already waiting as we arrived. Also lost a few solid shots amongst our group due to an excessive amount of blind shots. Hard to make any putts on the slow bumpy greens. The ranger Butch was fantastic but nothing he can do when they overbook for a WM money grab. There are a lot of fun holes but it’s really rough to have a solid cohesive round with the long waits and quirky course architecture.

Slow on a Sunday

Course was in good shape. Really slow pace of play - waited on every hole after the first 2. Took almost 5 hours to play. Would rather not play on the weekend but that’s when our son is available to play. Probably won’t play there again. Would rather play at Legend Trail.

Fun target golf course

Beautiful course, a ton of fun to play. Pace of play was ok, there are some short par 4s that seemed to bottleneck things.
