Ocotillo Golf Club - Gold/Blue

The gold and white course were in great condition and we played both courses in less than 4 hours!

I have had a lot of issues with this course since Phil's camp took over.

Positives:

We played the Gold course and it was in excellent condition considering how dry this summer has been. The White course also looked to be in great condition, however we did not play this side.

Always a challenging and fun layout for each course.

Negatives;

The Blue course is being prepped for overseed and Ocotillo did not notify us prior. It was basically playing off of concrete. Beware hole # 6 on your approach shot, the green is very hard and your ball will roll through and off the backside into the water. Three of our players did this and their approaches had landed on the front of the green. The difference in quality for the Blue course versus the White and Gold is staggering, it was like playing two completely different rounds of golf. You do not get to choose thew course you play on Golfnow, it's luck of the draw morning of the round.

Also, historically range balls had always been included in your rate, that is no longer the case.

This will be the last time I play at this course until major improvements are made.

Target golf course, very enjoyable. Great rate with the summer pass.

Our foursome included a brand new golfer, we had a great time and finished in 4:15

Been playing Ocotillo for the past 10 years and I’ll have to say course conditions have noticeably declined since Michelson’s group took over ownership and operations. Fairways continue to be patchy throughout the year. Bunkers were hit and miss...some with wet but loose sand, some very compact. Greens today were at least in decent shape especially for this time of year. Props to the entire staff for their friendliness which helps offset the overall conditions. Ocotillo’s challenging layout and pristine conditions is what kept us coming back year in and year out. Hopefully, things will get better but until then....

The fairways are in very bad shape. They shouldn’t charge as much when the course is in such bad shape.

Played the Gold Course. Greens were in great condition; firm and putts rolled really well and even. Fairways were pretty patchy. I would say the overall condition would be average for this time of year in Phoenix but thought it should be better since the course bears Phil’s name and logo. Put a lot of money in to the clubhouse, why not the course itself.

I just wish it was a pinch less expensive so I could play it more often. It’s a great course.

Played this course because a friend likes to play it. I found the fairways to be in great shape as well as the tee boxes, the greens were poor. We play twice a week at courses around the Phoenix Metro area. The greens at Ocotillo were terribly slow and bumpy. The worst greens we have played. Difficult to put because of the speed of the greens. Conditions as they were I would not recommend this as a course to play. There are much better courses in the area and at a lower price.

It's been awhile since I last played Ocotillo. Gold/Blue courses today. White course my fav. Greens a lot slower than I remember. Likely due to letting the Bermuda take hold. Fairways & rough areas in great shape! The course is still fun to play!

It’s in superb shape. It’s challenging. Green everywhere. I absolutely love it and return to it ASAP

Amazing course. Not for the average player. Mistakes will cost you double and triple bogeys but I absolutely love it
