About

If you come to Arizona to play desert golf, forget about Ocotillo. Ocotillo is a refreshing change of pace from most of the Valley's courses precisely because it isn't surrounded by desert.

The White Course is the most unique of the three. It has only one par 5, and the water is a factor on just five of the holes. But it also has the best hole on the property -- the 479-yard, par-4 ninth, which used to be an easy par 5 but is now a treacherous finishing touch.

The Gold nine is a devilish test and not just because water comes into play on six of the holes. The greens have a lot of slope in them and are difficult to read. And some pin placements are brutal; hit a downhill putt two feet past the

hole, and it might roll down into a swale and 30 feet by. Uphill putts, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to get to the hole, if for no other reason than Ocotillo's greens aren't as fast as some of the Valley's marquee desert courses.

Overpriced for the course’s condition

The white course was in bad shape , blue course was in better shape though! Still overpriced for overall quality!

Hi Miguel, thank you so much for the review. This time of year, the courses start to go through transition. The winter grass has died out and the Bermuda grass is coming out of dormancy. Have a wonderful day!

Terrible Pace

The pace of play was absolutely atrocious. The staff was unfriendly and there was no Ranger to enforce pace. After every shot we were waiting 15-20 minutes. We got the the turn and two foursomes were inserted in front of us. We waited 45 minutes to start the back nine. They are clearly trying to increase revenue without any consideration for the experience of the golfer. Will not be going back.

Oasis in the desert

Of the 4 courses I played in Arizona this spring, this may not have been my favorite but I still loved it...and it was the least expensive round!

We teed off at sunrise so we didn't have to worry about pace of play. The course has a surprising number of water hazards (some are blind, so check the card before teeing off), but the nearly excessive number of well-placed bunkers is what did my round in.

Despite not carding a nice score, I loved the course and would play it again if/when I return to Phoenix.

Bunkers are in bad shape

Bunker liners are exposed in bunkers around the green. Fairway bunkers have grass ,weeds and rocks.

Too much water for me.

Must be precise with your shots. I drive about 130 yds so often had to lay up on my drive or second shot to get over water. It was too hard for me. Pace was slow. Too expensive for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it.
