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.

Very Enjoyable Round
The course is really unique, great views, great conditions (fairways and greens), blind tee shots, elevated greens, narrow fairways and layout is fun as the fairways and cart path serpentine around the property. Strategy is a premium. Will definitely return. For a summer rate under $40 this is an excellent value.
Slow Pace of Play
Unfortunately, the pace of play was very slow. There were 5 groups on one hole waiting to play.
The issue. Harassed unfairly.
A golf course should “welcome” players and appreciate frequent business. We had 3 visits from the Marshall telling us we were “1.5 6 behind;” we were “causing a bottle neck”; “”skip a hole” (on # 10.)
We teed off with openness 1-2 holes already ahead of us on # 1; it was a twosome behind us; they never waited; we 4 finished 18 holes in 3 hours 45 minutes on a late morning sunny Friday.
For $178 and maybe my 30th round there, it was upsetting. The marshall was seeing a gap ahead of us or behind us. He was not using a clock comparing it to our start. Our pace of play was AHEAD of pace. Three visits and telling us to skip a hole - with a smaller group behind us (who NEVER asked to play thru) was not friendly . We never saw the group behind us from 9-18.
Needs an upgrade.
Course was not in good shape. Greens were poor and bounced with every putt. Tee boxes are not flat and crowned in the middle. Used to be a great course. What happened?
My favourite course when visiting Az
I always make the effort to go to this course every time I come to Arizona. I love the rental clubs (ping ladies) - so much I bought the same set when I got back to Canada! The course has a good layout with lots of great views and unique holes. Highly recommend!
Fun course
Front more challenging than the back. Blues play 6,000 yds. 6 par 3 and great views!
Rancho Manana
Course amenities need to be updated for this price point. Paying $200 for greens fees and then not having GPS on carts is unacceptable. Pro Shoo and restaurant are outdated and need to be updated. Starter was pretty grumpy.. Rest of staff was very nice. Tee boxes are unlevel. Course layout is great with lots of interesting elevation changes but fairways could be in slightly better shape. For overall experience, just too pricey for what is offered. Better options at same price point.
Good course
This course had some challenging holes. I was paired with another 4 some and we had a blast! I rented clubs as I am from out of town and the clubs were in great shape. Would highly recommend
Great value
Rancho Manana is one of my favorite Az courses! Great layout & every hole is unique and picturesque! But if a drive but it’s a great value for the money!
Greens
I like the course & have played it many times. The greens were long and very slow for a $165 dollar course. Was better last year. Without fairly fast greens it takes the other good parts of the course and kind of makes it less fun.
Nice views. Expensive for average conditions
Nice views. Fun layout. Overwatered fairways and super slow greens. Same as when I’ve played this course in the past. Hard to find a flat stance on most tee boxes. Hard to justify the $200 price tag.
