Course Highlights
Occotillo's layout consistently earns high praise, with water features on nearly every hole creating a scenic and genuinely challenging round. Friendly, welcoming staff and strong overall value make this course a compelling choice in the Phoenix area.

Holes 18

Style Traditional
Par 71
Length 6782 yards
Slope 133
Rating 72.2

Ocotillo is a one-of-a-kind golf spot in a state full of top golf spots, and the four-star golf course is suitable for both golf upstarts and old-timers.

Ocotillo's Blue Course is a watery grave; water comes into play on eight of the nine holes. It's not overly long but there's so much water the length becomes irrelevant. The best hole may be No. 1, a 590-yard par 5. Big hitters are faced with the classic risk-reward: Do they lay-up on their second shot or try to fly a tributary that splits the fairway about 50 yards short of the green?

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.

Course conditions were kind of strange for Ocotillo

The fairways were really unevenly mowed. Something must have been wrong with the mower decks or blades to be that uneven. And the driving range is way too close to the #1 tee box on that left side. Someone is going to get hurt bad. The pin placements were pretty brutal also. But it is quite a test with all the water and it’s always fun to play. One of my favorites!

Always a good deal

The course is in good shape the fairway are excellent. The green were probably punched a few weeks ago so in about two weeks they should be running pretty good. It’s worth playing.
