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.

Great Course for the Value
Love the course just wished it was not so wet and had to do car path only.
Winter Ready Excellence
Staff great as always. Slow play was handled by Marshall quickly. All aspects of course were in excellent shape. Greens are getting quicker from over seed. Very nice.
Only a few bunkers needing some love but most were really nice. Saw cart girls multiple times through 18 holes. $50 on a Sunday morning at 8:24. Excellent deal right now.
Early after reseeding
Course layout is beautiful with water everywhere! A few more weeks of growth and then will be fantastic
It’s a pretty course , good value , a lot of water to play over so depending on your game you may appreciate the challenge or you lay up
Incompetent
I have now played this course twice in the last year. Both times the course was in average shape and the pace of play was terrible with no Marshall present. But the worst thing about this course is their inability to process my credit card payments properly. The first time the card was rejected so I had to go to an offsite ATM to get cash and pay them costing me gas and ATM fees. The personnel at the desk did not know how to use the credit card machine properly. This time the machine is down so they have to process the payment the old way by paper slip and proceed to charge me twice. I will never be back due to their obvious incompetence.
Condition of course and pace of play
The gold and white course were in great condition and we played both courses in less than 4 hours!
WARNING! Blue course being prepped for overseed.
I have had a lot of issues with this course since Phil's camp took over.
Positives:
We played the Gold course and it was in excellent condition considering how dry this summer has been. The White course also looked to be in great condition, however we did not play this side.
Always a challenging and fun layout for each course.
Negatives;
The Blue course is being prepped for overseed and Ocotillo did not notify us prior. It was basically playing off of concrete. Beware hole # 6 on your approach shot, the green is very hard and your ball will roll through and off the backside into the water. Three of our players did this and their approaches had landed on the front of the green. The difference in quality for the Blue course versus the White and Gold is staggering, it was like playing two completely different rounds of golf. You do not get to choose thew course you play on Golfnow, it's luck of the draw morning of the round.
Also, historically range balls had always been included in your rate, that is no longer the case.
This will be the last time I play at this course until major improvements are made.
Very enjoyable round
Target golf course, very enjoyable. Great rate with the summer pass.
