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.

One of the Best!

This is a spectacular golf course. It is in fabulous condition. It is one of the greenest courses in Phoenix with real and very plush rough.

Beautiful golf course

Bring extra balls. I was told that there was water on 23 of the 27 holes.

Look forward to playing there again now that I know more about the course. Where to go for it, where to lay up. Fairway layout and slopes.

Had a great time.

Great course for the money. Grass was in good shape, greens were true. Pace of play ran like a German clock. Definitely a play if you’re around Chandler.

Golf as it should be

Pleasant day, great facility, friendly staff, perfect pace of play, nice layout. Water on every hole but not always in play unless you hit some terrible shots. Course was crowded but never slow. Well managed. Some tee's needed a little TLC, sand traps were inconsistent...but the fairways and greens were well manicured. All in all...an exceptional daily use course. We were in for Spring Training and would absolutely play it again.

Playing tough with deeper rough

The recent rains mean the rough is thicker than usual on some holes.

Ponds are very full.

Greens are running true, but the tee boxes need some grass and because the markers were close together, you couldn’t always get a flat lie.

SURF & TURF

Or should I say surf & sand. Lots of both. Everyone loses balls in the many water holes. A beautiful course with varied layouts. Great scenery, nice homes and ducks gone wild! A challenging course for anyone. Every shot becomes more important than the last one. Worth the trip and greens fees.

Overall a good experience

Nice challenging classic layout with plenty of water.. Fairways and rough are in superior shape. The tee boxes have far too much crowning, they need to be leveled out and bunkers need fresh sand. The clubhouse is excellent and overall a really good experience.

There’s good and bad on the Blue/White at Ocotillo

The courses fairways were much improved since December. 2018. However the tee boxes definitely need ALOT of work!!! It’s also evident that the greens were partially damaged by the rainfall and then the hard freezes. They are playable but the course cannot keep up with the amount of people that golf this course on a daily basis. It’s very busy!

Great course!

Yes there is water, but it won’t penalize you if you just plan your shots. Great layout, great conditions, friendly staff, definitely going to play this again. Don’t think twice, book a round.

Great shape

The course is in amazing shape. There is water on 24 of the 27 holes. Believe me you are thankful to play those 3 holes on the White course. The fairways are like a finely trim carpet and the green carry a decent amount of speed. The only negative is that it seems they didn’t do anything with the bunkers. They were as hard as anything I’ve played.
