Ocotillo Golf Club - Blue/White
Rating Snapshot
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.

Nice challenging coarse
I loved it, would have been nice to have a coarse layout sheet bigger than the one on the score card. Would have used my cell but my bat was almost dead.
Lots of water on this course
The courses in the Phoenix area receive a large volume of use this time of year and the greens were a little more pitted than I was hoping from unrepaired/poorly repaired ball marks. {One of my putts bounced 3 inches into the air halfway to the hole). The fairways were in average condition. Pace of play was very good. Staff was friendly.
great layout, lousy condition
i have played Ocotillo several times in the past but not in the last 6 years until this week. The layout remains very good but the course conditions were definitely not good, greens beaten up with ball marks, fairways with divots, traps unraked.
Solid Course
Ocotillo is a fairly unique facility with 3 nine hole courses so you are never really sure which 'course' you'll play in 18 holes. There's water on 24 of the 27 holes and most of it is very much in play. Houses are on the other side of the water for the most part so it's not a course that's lined with homes. Conditions are always nice - very predictable. Highly recommend.
Golf Octio
Course was in good shape, club house pro was hard to book through(45 mins trying to talk with him)
Could use roll of barriers on some holes, shouldn't lose a ball because you just missed the green.
Gem
Oldie but a goodie. Course was in great shape and the expected goose droppings were not an issue at all. Really enjoyed being back on this course. Good value for the money.
Ed
Nice course layout. Water didn't come into play as much as I thought it might prior to playing. Tee boxes were a little chewed up but the course was packed so it was somewhat understandable. All in all a very nice golf experience. Would definitely play it again.
Lots of water and beautiful!
We enjoyed this course, a challenge at time with so much water but really fun to figure out the best way to attack it. Very fun!
Visiting golfer
The course is set up for the local golfer with course knowledge. This makes keeping up for the visiting golfer difficult as the course requires local knowledge to be enjoyable. A course guide with yardages would have been great even if i had to pay for it. It also removes the 3-4 minutes trying to figure out club selection to keep my ball out of the water.
