Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great day!
Quick play(4.25 hrs) great challenging coarse, fun day!
Good time
Tee boxes need some attention. Some greens were stressed in spots.

I love this place
Beautiful Course
This was the first time playing Ocotillo. What a beautiful course! Had a great round of golf.
Still very good, just not great
Course not in as good shape as prior years. Thinner fairways and greens. Pace of play was good. Beverage cart was scarce. For a Mickelson property it should have been in excellent condition. Having to buy range balls was disappointing.
Good course marshals ruin jt
Super nice course and fun to play. Good condition for the price. However the marshals just ruin the play there. If You want to be constantly watched and rudely told to speed up when you can’t play any faster cause there is a group in front of you then you’ll love this course. We had a marshal 4 separate times come to us and say we need to hurry up when no one was even behind us. They had the sprinkles following our tee time.
Overall nice course just won’t be going back. This is the second time it’s happened.
Course is in rough shape
I have played here many times. Usually it is in very good shape. I had not played here for roughly a year though. The poor course is in terrible shape. They definitely must have some over seeding issues going on. Not worth a $100 in this shape.
RK
Course has so much play they can not keep up the conditions on the tee boxes or greens. It’s a shame as this layout could be fun.
Poor grass condition
We have played this course in the past and we’re impressed with green, lush fairways. When we played lately there were a lot of bare patches on fairways with divots everywhere. Also., the greens were sanded and we weren’t told of this prior to play which would have changed our minds to play.
Right now the course is not worth the price.
It does have beautiful scenery
