Rating 71.5

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.

Lots of water

I played 2 rounds this past week. It did not start week, the,person in the pro shop was extremely unfriendly. I’m not sure if he thought I was a local (was not) but he treated me like I knew when I was going and was really condescending when I asked for clarification. A really bad experience.

The course layout had an extreme amount of water, almost every hole. Not hard, you just need to, know where to go. It was a good layout. Totally overrun with birds, goose and ducks , poop everywhere. Greens were firm and rolled well. Tee boxes were in bad shape.

It was an ok experience. The bar was good, friendly staff and decent food.

Probably would not play again if I had the chance. The pro shop guy really ruined it for me.

Great layout & beautiful scenery

Course was in good shape , round played under 4 hrs , snack vendor closed @ 2:00 pm for quick pickups @ turn , didn’t get warm welcome or wanting to make time enjoyable / vibe from any employees, golf shop or restaurant / bar employees . Felt like they didn’t really want you there and wanted to close up everything ASAP . Bring extra balls, there’s a lot of water in play for the average golfer

Great course. Can't wait to play it again and know where not to hit it and save some balls. Lots of water (which i like) and greens very quick. Got a great deal on playing it and would do it again.
