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.

Pretty nice day
A few minutes late out of the tee box but the pace was good. Rough was up but not surprising given the amount of summer rain we’ve had. Overall, the course was in good summer shape.
Disappointed!
Greens were slow, tee boxes extremely uneven and the grass on them was like rough. Fairway grass was just as bad, too long and fluffy. Not worth the money right now that’s for sure.
This has always been one of my favorite courses in the valley. This time of the year, one should expect the course to be dry. But overall they do a good job keeping it manicured. Greens and tee boxes need some attention, but overall the course is still a good challenge for the average golfer. I would like to see the free range balls return with the price of the green fees.
Bad
Avoid until they can figure out the greens.
Not cut, trimmings everywhere. Have lived in Chandler for 25+ years and this has been as consistently good as the sun is rising.
Not right now, if I could get my money back I would’ve. Greens are extremely hairy. Not worth 60 or 200 for the 3 some.
All in all fun.. not worth the expense
All in all was a fun round I suppose. We were incredibly disappointed by the conditions of the greens and for 60 dollars were a tad taken back. I spent 200 to take a buddy of mine for his birthday and bosted about this course and when we saw the greens and the putting greens I was actually embarrassed. Course played well as far as pace for a Sunday for sure, however those greens are atrocious and just not fair and ruined a what should’ve been fun birthday round.
Fairways were good, boxes weren’t bad, but the greens are just bad right now.
Surprised
I've been playing this course for many years. This is the worst shape I've seen it ever. Greens we're not cut. Extremely slow. Sand is like every other course, hard as a rock. I wouldn't pay $65 again to play in this shape.
Great course
Challenging course..but really fun to play. Lots of water!! Staff is awesome!!
Great facility
I have lived out here a couple years and have played many courses. This course is in my top 3. Fantastic layout and in really good shape. I was told I didn’t even get to play the best 9 (white). We played the gold and blue courses and it was beautiful. Had drinks after the round and the bar was very nice as well.
Great
Played a lot of courses locally and this ranks as one of the best. Great condition and challenging but fair. Highly recommend
Please fix tee boxes
Overall the course is great except for one thing. The blue tee boxes are not level. They all have a big hump that runs down the middle of the box. This creates a situation where it is impossible to have a level lie for the tee shot. While I understand that drainage is needed for the tee boxes, these are unacceptable. Please fix these!!!!
Water water everywhere
I like the courses at ocotillo however there are several hidden hazards so look carefully. Greens were nice, but slow, kind of expected for mid-summer conditions.
Worst part, no water fountains, no ice on carts, etc. services that seem to be COVID casualties.
Course finally getting there
This course was in such bad shape once Phil Mickelson took over a few years ago. The course is finally coming back to shape. Greens were in darn good shape for this time of the year. Most courses around this area have really bad greens. Fairways finally coming back with bermuda vs. mud a few years back. Although this course is a bit more expensive than Lone Tree or Trilogy, it’s worth the extra 10-15 bucks more to play nice greens and decent fairways unlike the other courses that have dried up diseased greens and dry fairways. 1-5 id give it a solid 3.5. The other courses I’d give a 2 at best.
