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 as always
Played Sunday afternoon 2:10 and really enjoyed the coarse
Finished up at 6:30 for a 4 hour and 20 minute round
Octollio slow play
The course is in very nice shape from tee to green. Well watered and maintained. Pace of paly was terrible. A fivesome was let out ahead of us which should not have happened. Last six holes we waited at every tee box and no one came around to even try and speed up play. They have to do better then that.
Negolfer
Played the gold/blue and course was in great shape. No waiting and even a Saturday. Course is in great shape. Well manicured even around the water. Water on every hole but play smart and you’ll be ok. Everything green as can be. Super course!!! Enjoyed it a lot.
Crusing
The course paired us with a couple that were a pleasure to play with on a very well manicured course of above average difficulty. We are older players so we played the white tees at just over 5900 yds. Water holes made it a challenge even at the shorter yardage, along with the rolling fairways. If you're not straight, it will be a frustrating day.
Best value around
Check out the deals, this course is by far the best value around.
Great course and fair price!
Nice layout and great pace of play.
If you can book for under $100 worth it.
One of our favourites in the valley
Fairways lovely, greens terrific, very smooth. Always a great experience. At $167 for 2 and they charge for range balls? Huge pet peeve for me. Throw it Into the green fees. Place was busy and only 3 people on the range. Tells you something.
This is the fourth time I've played the course. The fairways, rough and greens are in excellent condition. The only negative is the bird poop. Because of the large amount of water on the course there are a considerable number of water fowl. that is my only negative. other than the bird issue the place is beautiful.
Great Course
This is one of my favorite courses in the Phoenix area. The whole course is in great shape (including the rough). The greens are a test but role true. We played the round in 4 hrs 20 minutes.
