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.

Overpriced.

Good course but over priced. Doesn’t drain water well so it’s always swampy.

Ocotillo

Course was extremely wet and fairways were nothing but mud. Needs some cooler weather I guess. Very bad right in front of greens

Rough shape

The course has gone downhill in the last year. Fairways were in terrible shape. Sand traps were not maintained.

Lots of water not well kept

The course was fun to play and had a lot of character. Water was everywhere but only went in 1 time so it’s fair. But the course was not upkept at all bunkers where mud and or haven’t been groomed in a long time. Greens were not in great shape they had been recently punched so I’ll give them a break on that. But then I checked course info it said the greens were going to be don’t in august. So was disappointed they didn’t let me know. I’d play it again if conditions improve

Good Round of Golf at Ocotillo

I went with two friends with varying skill levels. The course was in good shape for summer, and pace of play was fine. Quite a bit of water on the 18 we played but you could avoid most of it if careful. Very nice bar and grill and pro shop. I have played there before and will again.

Greens were punched after we were told they weren't

I called the clubhouse prior to booking the round and asked if the greens were punched. I was told that one nine was punched but that nine was under maintenance and wasn't being played on currently. So we booked the round and payed $80+ and when we show up the back nine (blue course) greens were punched and sandy and in terrible condition.

Called the clubhouse prior to booking the round and they said the greens were not punched. He said only one of the nines were punched and that nine was not in use. We end up paying $80+ for a round and the blue course geeens we’re punched and sandy.

Completely over seeded, beautiful

Wonderful course conditioning. Dirty carts, poor service from kerbside assistants. Very few food options and slow service. Great place to play but clearly has management issues and staff issues.
