Ocotillo Golf Club - Blue/White
About
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.

Ocotillo golf course "not what it use to be"
Ocotillo golf course has really fallen off as a premier course. The sand traps had little or no sand in them or were overseeded badly with rye grass. The tee box markers were rusted so badly it was hard to no what color they were. The greens were peppered with unrepaired ball marks and the fairways had many divots as well. I was incredibly disappointed in the condition of this once premier course!
We’re thrilled to see you had a positive experience. We’d love to know what made your experience great!
Disappointing
I really look forward to playing here but for me, it's a bit more than I usually spend...a "treat", right? I was disappointed at the overall conditions... somewhat shaggy fairways and rough, amateurish cup-cutting and repair of old holes on the greens and bunkers that need attention. I paid for prime conditions but that's not what was delivered. I'm coming back but not till the rates drop.
Golf with the Girls
This course is one of my favourites. I like taking my friends that have come down to Arizona for the first time down here to play it. Beautiful scenery and top notch golf course. Great value for your money and excellent staff.
Can't book a specific combination of 9 courses because "they don't know" what the layout is until the day of.... can't practice for tournament round.
The practice range was closed. Not sure why the course is open to play but range is closed??
Starter had an attitude when we were teeing off, terrible start to the round.
Also, not sure why you would start the sprinkler right next to the tee box, completely soaking the carts/golf bags
Course nice, staff at bag drop smart rude
Staff at bag drop smart rude Over charged for extra cart for wives to ride with. Who the he!! charges $35.00 for an extra cart. That’s BS. Other courses charge $25.00, some charge nothing. The course was cart path first nine holes. The back nine was 90 degrees. There really wasn’t any reason for the front nine to be cart path only. There wasn’t any difference in the conditions. Again BS. Don’t play golf in Az in Oct every course is cart path only. They should reduce the rates until it is not cart path only.
Great layout
Course was in excellent condition considering it was over seeding time. Will play again!
Ocotillo Rocks
Ocotillo is probably the best course in the Chandler area, maybe competing only to Whirlwind but always at a better cost. Ocotillo is also very unique to Phoenix area courses in that it's very green with a lot of trees and much needed shades, as well as tons of water.
Awesome Courses
The only issues I had playing this course was the bunkers and the grass clippings.
The bunkers had rocks all through them. They also had a couple with roots exposed.
Wait at turn
The course is in good condition. Paid $95 to wait 40 minutes to play the second 9. We were the first out on White and finished in 1:45. Approached the first gold tee and nobody was on it and the ranger was not there either. There was a group in the fairway so we started to tee up and the ranger showed up and told us they were already behind on starting groups on gold and it would be a wait. He apparently does not understand the point of a 6:30 AM tee time is to finish quickly. A 4.5 hour round is not acceptable if you are first out. No apologies or accommodations. The Covid greed and price gouging continues.
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
Thanks for reviewing us. Your feedback is appreciated and we take it to heart. We will share this with the rest of the team. The bunkers have all been updated with new sand.
