Mesquite/Ironwood at Kierland Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Unlike many other Scottsdale courses, Kierland Golf Club's three nines sprawl across rolling hills without a single cactus in sight. The nines are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Mesquite/Ironwood Course is has player-friendly fairways that are generous and easy and the green are large but not particularly undulating or fast, which makes the golf course accessible to a range of different skill levels. The course isn't entirely forgiving though. The Mesquite nine may be the flattest of the three nines but it is also the toughest. The par-4 sixth is especially demanding. The challenges of Mesquite are balanced by the player-friendly nature of the Ironwood nine. There is some strategic mounding but overall the links design is very approachable. The golf course ends with its signature hole, a classic risk-reward opportunity with a lake to the right and sand traps to the left.

Perfect Resort Course
Course conditions were excellent! Just fun to play! Bring your A game if you want to shoot a good score!
Pretty boring
27 hole course. Played the Mesquite/Acadia course. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers in very good shape with the exception of the greens on the Mesquite 9. They are terrible. Grass is very thin, almost putting on mud.
A nice resort course if you are just going to be playing it a couple of times. Pretty boring layout but very forgiving. Most of the course funnels into the fairway so even your poor tee shots find the fairway.
For the money, there are much better courses in the area.
Well worth the price
2 big thumbs up. Based on other courses in the area,
This was a bargain at $205 through Golf now,
Excellent conditions, staff great and exceptional range and chipping area.
Pace of Play
Need someone to check the course for pace of play. Group of 5 in front of us and no sight of marshal to assist in helping us move forward. 5.25 hour round not acceptable this time of year and rates.
Golf at Kierland
Very fun round of golf. The course was fair with some spectacular holes…….would definitely play again.
Premium course conditions
This is a Resort style for sure. Lush fairways everywhere. Greens are great shape. I found it very easy to chip shots close
Greens were in terrible shape, exceedingly slow with punch marks and sanding still evident. No one in our foursome could make a putt due to the green irregularities causing the ball to move off line especially when it slowed down. The group was really frustrated. I realize these are seasonal issues but it is still frustrating that the course is not more playable in the off season.
Struggling at end of summer
Front 9 was fine (Ironwood) but the greens on the back 9 (Mesquite) were in worse shape than muni courses in the area. Not up to Troon standards by a long shot.
5 Star
Nothing bad to say here. On time starts, course in great condition, fast pace of play.
That time of year.
Hot and muggy… nothing the course can control. Course obviously in aeration mode and punched greens. Still shot the best round of my life at a 76. Love the layout and can’t wait to go back when all is well… just gonna have to pay premium $
Tough greens
Love Kierland! However, for the first few holes the greens were not very green and it mad putting difficult. They did get better on the back nine and into the clubhouse
Kierland
Played Ironwood & Mesquite. Greens were not in great shape, tough to make any putt over 4 feet. Pace of play was great
