Rancho Manana Golf Club
About
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.

Beautiful
What a gem. A beautiful course in excellent condition with breathtaking desert views. Very friendly and informative people and a nice restaurant. All in all an excellent golfing day.
Just so-s0
Have played several times in past and was somewhat disappointed in condition of several greens. Shaggy with lots of po. It does remain a good value compared to most local courses.
Fantastic Views
A very nice course and my favorite in the area. Amazing views and the course is in terrific shape. The pace of play was slow on the front and better on the back. A Ranger would be helpful.
Spend your money elsewhere
I have played this course twice before, but it was about 10 years ago. I had fond memories of playing here. The layout in the scenery is wonderful, but that’s where the accolades end. It may be because it’s the shoulder season, but the greens were a joke. There’s so much Poana and dead spots on the greens, they were nearly impossible to putt, in fact, it was so bad we stopped keeping score. We played the white tees because we just wanted a relaxing round, and the tee pads were horrible. It was almost impossible to find a level spot, and if you did find a level spot, it was so beaten up it was like hitting off of sand. My wife played the red tees, and there was hardly a level lie on any of the red tee pads. I recommend you spend your money elsewhere. We came away very disappointed, and for the price we paid we expected much more.
Challenging, shot placement needed.
This is a beautuful course with very scenic views and challenging elevation changes. Lots of trouble if your not accurate off the tee. The staff is terrific and very friendly!! Not a course I would recommend for begginers if you get frustrated easily. Have fun and enjoy.
Course is in Great Shape
Everything was great except the pace of play was extremely slow due to a couple groups.
Slow play, new bridge on #2 has issues.
5 hour round was a lot of hit-and-wait, but probably due to it being high season and a 6000 yd course. New bridge between 2 & 3 beautiful, almost (too?) grand, gut the fact it’s only 1 lane caused some issues since it is used for players going each direction. We had some head on issues causing backups, especially so because the beverage cart was also in the mix. Otherwise, a beautiful course with great views and a good challenge despite its short length (small greens, target golf, significant issues just off the fairways and greens). And fair pricing for what you get.
Beautiful course
Beautiful views from any spot on the course. Friendly staff and great food .
Good Course Conditions Except For The Bunkers
The grass parts of the course were in very good condition, but the greenside bunkers were mostly hardpacked, with not enough sand in them. There was no one to help us at the bag drop area. The starter stayed behind his podium, never properly greeted our foursome, and did not give us any course information. In fact, he drove out to us next to the first green because he had not written down our cart numbers. There are a few sandwich and drink choices near the first tee, but the menu in the onsite restaurant had no sandwiches available. The price was great but the service was lacking.
Great Afternoon at Rancho Mañana
Rancho Mañana remains a standout for its consistently stunning desert views, and my recent late afternoon round was no exception. Despite the heat, the course was in good condition, highlighted by wonderful fairways and solid tee boxes. While some of the teeing areas aren't perfectly level, they are spacious enough to easily find a flat lie. The pace of play was a great. Playing later in the day meant I rarely had to wait to tee off, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable flow throughout the round.
The greens have been overseeded, which naturally makes them a bit less receptive than usual, but they remain in better shape than many other local courses I've played recently. They are consistent enough to reward good putts and are holding up well for the season. Between the pristine scenery and the good pace, it was a good experience that I’ll definitely be repeating soon.
beautiful say
course was in great condition, surrounding area is beautiful.
staff was friendly and helpful
