Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold

Hope this will be allowed because I have actually booked through Ocotillo's site rather than Golf Now the last 4 times over the last two weeks. I felt I needed to post because some of the reviews read on here are unfavorable to the pre4sent conditions, I have seen this course great and horrible over the last 20 plus years. But let me assure you that many of the sand traps now have real sand in them making an instant upgrade to the course. Yes, the greens are pelted with fixed divots but that is not the course's fault, that is the lazy golfer's fault. But lastly, I wanted to say the course is beautiful and the layout is almost a one of a kind here in the valley. I would not pay 100 plus for it but that is just me. I play the twilight prices for 45/50 after 2 o clock. Again, the course is playing awesome, especially compared to when Phil Mickelson owned it a few years back.

Sand traps need wor,.was in better shape one year ago!

Met expectations, the rate was a bit over priced for this course in my opinion but that’s what you get for a 9:00 tee time. Greens were maintained properly and pace of play was great!

Ocotillo golf course has really fallen off as a premier course. The sand traps had little or no sand in them or were overseeded badly with rye grass. The tee box markers were rusted so badly it was hard to no what color they were. The greens were peppered with unrepaired ball marks and the fairways had many divots as well. I was incredibly disappointed in the condition of this once premier course!

I really look forward to playing here but for me, it's a bit more than I usually spend...a "treat", right? I was disappointed at the overall conditions... somewhat shaggy fairways and rough, amateurish cup-cutting and repair of old holes on the greens and bunkers that need attention. I paid for prime conditions but that's not what was delivered. I'm coming back but not till the rates drop.

This course is one of my favourites. I like taking my friends that have come down to Arizona for the first time down here to play it. Beautiful scenery and top notch golf course. Great value for your money and excellent staff.

Can't book a specific combination of 9 courses because "they don't know" what the layout is until the day of.... can't practice for tournament round.

The practice range was closed. Not sure why the course is open to play but range is closed??

Starter had an attitude when we were teeing off, terrible start to the round.

Also, not sure why you would start the sprinkler right next to the tee box, completely soaking the carts/golf bags

Course was in great condition for coming out of overseed!

Staff at bag drop smart rude Over charged for extra cart for wives to ride with. Who the he!! charges $35.00 for an extra cart. That’s BS. Other courses charge $25.00, some charge nothing. The course was cart path first nine holes. The back nine was 90 degrees. There really wasn’t any reason for the front nine to be cart path only. There wasn’t any difference in the conditions. Again BS. Don’t play golf in Az in Oct every course is cart path only. They should reduce the rates until it is not cart path only.

Course was in excellent condition considering it was over seeding time. Will play again!

Ocotillo is probably the best course in the Chandler area, maybe competing only to Whirlwind but always at a better cost. Ocotillo is also very unique to Phoenix area courses in that it's very green with a lot of trees and much needed shades, as well as tons of water.

The only issues I had playing this course was the bunkers and the grass clippings.

The bunkers had rocks all through them. They also had a couple with roots exposed.

The course is in good condition. Paid $95 to wait 40 minutes to play the second 9. We were the first out on White and finished in 1:45. Approached the first gold tee and nobody was on it and the ranger was not there either. There was a group in the fairway so we started to tee up and the ranger showed up and told us they were already behind on starting groups on gold and it would be a wait. He apparently does not understand the point of a 6:30 AM tee time is to finish quickly. A 4.5 hour round is not acceptable if you are first out. No apologies or accommodations. The Covid greed and price gouging continues.

Good course but over priced. Doesn’t drain water well so it’s always swampy.
