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.

Best in the East Valley

I have played a ton of golf lately. Trilogy, Lone Tree, Bear Creek, Superstition and Kokopelli - this course is heads up all of them. Great layout, chipping and putting green, good range, awesome cart girl, good staff, and beautiful green well cared for holes. Loved it.

Great value, challenging layout

Played the tips (Blue/White). Challenging track with lots of water—which is highly unusual for AZ. Other than one par 5 where driver was out of the question, I found the risk/reward in the layout to be fair and not gimmicky. Number 9 on White, from the tips, is a BEAST of a hole (I was the only par in my 4-some of mid-single-digit handicappers). Fairways are a bit thin in some spots, but overall the conditions are good. Great day.

Good time

Had a good time, head scratcher as to why we had 2 singles and a twosome right behind us. As we were a foursome seemed like we were pulling over to let someone play through every other hole for the first 5 holes.

Canadian golfer

Course was in really good shape, tee boxes, fairways and sand traps where great, greens had some dead patches but didn’t effect the roll on the ball! I was happy with course and would definitely play there again thanks

In need of attitude adjustment

I love this course. Love the layout. I live on the course. I am an Oasis card holder. But after defending it for years I have to say it. Aside from the food and beverage service staff, and the guys at the bag drop, the attitude around here needs help. In the pro shop that attitude varies from arrogant, to downright grumpy (yesterday afternoon). They are doing nothing to make a customer feel special. It saddens me to say, but yesterday, after playing here together dozens and dozens and dozens of times, my wife said she didn’t want to play here any more.

Please fix this Ocotillo!

Corona distraction

AWSOME COURSE! A Great way to get away from all the morbid news, get fresh air while being isolated from others. Beautiful course, great shape, greens are true. Only puzzling thing was so many fairways roped off from cart traffic when no rain in last 9 days. Pace was also quick - 4 hr round even though it was full. We'll be back!

Octollio slow play

The course is in very nice shape from tee to green. Well watered and maintained. Pace of paly was terrible. A fivesome was let out ahead of us which should not have happened. Last six holes we waited at every tee box and no one came around to even try and speed up play. They have to do better then that.
