Ocotillo Golf Club - Blue/White

Very nice course, that you better know your club distances. For first time players, I would recommend a players guide (if they have one), or hopefully you play with knowledgeable partners. Lots of water, lots of carrying water. Greens and fairways in excellent condition, and rough good and playable. Not the standard dead grass rough. Greens are quick, but hold well and putt true. Highly recommend. If you are not an Arcis member, make sure you join and enjoy the cheaper rate. I just wish someone had told me about that.

Played 5 days in a row during this golf trip and Ocotillo was the best course we played…. If I have a complaint it was just that the number of bathroom facilities could’ve been greener on the course

Overall enjoyed the course, challenging and decently maintained. Greens have numerous pitch marks that should have been repaired/maintained. For the price range balls should be included! There were no towel buckets available and no drinking water on the course. No cart GPS, this facility really needs it due to the numerous water hazards, etc. Pace of play was marginal, there was a tournament (on a Saturday) that started earlier in the morning causing tee time delays. BLUF: not what I expected for a course charging $135 plus $$ for range balls and no cart GPS.

Pace of play was slow

The course was in excellent shape

Greens not as fast as I expected

Staff was excellent

Good value for your money

I played Ocotillo on Thursday, Feb 24. An afternoon round. Really nice facility. Great day.

However, when we finished, I left my cart speaker/GPS on the cart when we finished. We were among the final players off the course that day. Within 20 minutes of leaving the course, I realized my error. I immediately called the club. The Pro Shop was already closed, so I left a message.

I called back first thing Friday morning. I was told they had received my message and had checked the carts in the garage. The speaker/GPS was not there. At that point, it had not been turned in. They took my name and contact information and told me they’d continue to check, and let me know if it “turned up”. I called again today. No luck.

There is no question that it was taken by an employee. There was no one else left there to grab it from the cart. If they have employees stealing things from customers (again, we were among the last players on the course - there was nobody else there to grab it), then it is a place I don’t want to patronize.

I recognize that had I not forgotten to take the magnetized unit off of the cart, this wouldn’t be an issue. That’s on me. But I also know that what should have happened was their cart crew should have taken it off when they returned the cart to the cart garage, and turned it into the Pro Shop, hopefully to be returned to the rightful owner.

I won’t go there again, and I’ll share this story with others considering their playing options in this area.

I enjoyed everything about my golf experience. Unfortunately the entire course was covered with bird poop. Wherever you stepped you could count on standing in bird excrement

We have played Ocotillo probably a dozen times. We have always found the course to be in excellent condition, the pace of play to be excellent,

It has been a challenge to find tee times in Phoenix this year - unlike every other year we've played here. We were fortunate to get an 8 am time, and although it was chilly to start, it quickly warmed up, and we thoroughly enjoyed our round.

Tee boxes were a little rough. Greens were pretty good

Overall good. Teeboxes need to be upgraded as they are small and a little uneven.

We have played here often and the course is always in good shape and a reasonable pace is maintained. Thursday was very frustrating. It appears prices were increased because demand is high, but no Marshall’s out to ensure you get the game you pay for. When you tee off on time, it should be easy to see when there is a problem and deal with it as most golfers expect
