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.

Worst golf experience of my long life

We quit after 12 holes and 4 hours. We saw the ranger twice and they acted like 6 hour rounds are normal. The rest of the staff did their best to ignore you because they are just tired of hearing all the complaints. It’s a really pretty place that is managed so very poorly. This was the worst experience we have had in all our AZ golf this year. We will never return and would not recommend this to any avid golfer.

Tee Boxes

The only complaint was the tee boxes. We played from the blues and they were actually in really bad condition. Not flat and very little grass.

Good value

If you aren’t afraid of water this is a fun course that is in good shape and fairly priced at $60. If you hit into the water you won’t be able to retrieve you ball as water is colored in order that you can’t seem them.

Beautiful Course

Had a perfect day. Arrived a bit early so was able to play a twosome with zero delays. Played in the morning and conditions couldn't have been better. On course rangers were very friendly and helpful. Blue course is challenging with water but beautiful. One of the better courses we've played and will definitely play again.

Hit the perfect day. Played early with weather conditions perfect. Love the course, plenty of possibilities of losing balls in the water but overall conditions were great. Know this isn't always the case but we hit in on a perfect day.

Staff

I would give this place a 5 but the cart guys were pretty rude and not helpful at all. They had headphones in and were just talking amongst themselves when I was waiting for help.
