Mesquite/Ironwood at Kierland Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great Course
The course was in very good condition for the middle of August. The staff is very nice and helpful. If the pace of play was better everything would have been perfect.
Great course
I have no complaints about the course. The layout is fun and it’s in great shape considering the time of year. My only complaint is the price. A round of golf should never cost more than the temperature during summer in AZ.
So last played here about two weeks ago. 3 1/2 hour round, traps appearing much better, greens getting better too especially on Mesquite after storm and punch. Great staff here, course is challenging from all tees, just a fun play here.
Good Course
Played Mesquite to Ironwood. In fairness to the course, a huge thunderstorm passed overnight, and some of the bunkers still had standing water, mud on cart paths and tree limbs down. Despite this had a great time. Mesquite greens still bumpy about a month after aeration. Ironwood greens a little better. Despite middle of summer, still a lot of green on the fairways and fun place to play. Everyone you encounter on the course is just super nice and friendly. Played in about 3 1/2 hours.
Lot of Fun
So course is in very good shape given we are in Summer. Acacia greens were a little smoother, Ironwood still healing from punch. Course is green and bunkers in great shape. Staff here works hard to meet every need of the player.
June issued
June is not a good time play anywhere as the courses aerate their fairways and greens
Kierland is a good resort course in good shape yet a bit too expensive for the local player. The two groups of yahoos in front of us played music so loud we could easily hear it from adjacent fairways and while I don’t have a problem with cannabis use please reserve that for your personal space, not the tee boxes and across the course. I also picked up 2 High Noon cans off of tee boxes. They had zero decorum. The marshals said nothing. Clearly it is all about the money at Kierland right now. Avoid it.
Great golf course!
One of the nicest golf courses I’ve played in Scottsdale! 🏌️♂️⛳️
