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.

Fun course…
Overall fun course and will definitely play again. The back nine greens were rough as they were just recently punched. Areas around the greens very wet leading to plugged approaches. But the staff was great and the beer was cold…great time.
Excellent
Can’t beat their summer rates for this amazing course. Very well maintained, staff and facilities are top notch.
Overbooked
The course was terribly overbooked - almost a five hour round on a Thursday! I’ve played here many times and that was the slowest round to date.
A good deal for the $
Played with a nice guy I met on the first tee.Temp was 116 started at 2pm.Price was under $60. We both we were both attracted by the price. The pics I saw of the course led me to believe it would be more intimidating the course was straight forward.If You drive it fairly straight the design makes it hard to loose a ball ( most fairways slope to the middle..Had a nice time. Play for the bargain rate if you can take the heat.
Five star hotel one star golf
6-15-2021, as a local one of the worst experiences I’ve had, staff advocate Ian so rude, pace of play so slow could’ve floated in the lazy river and kept up.
A Golfers Desert Dream
Great courses, great staff. It was 112 degrees but you would hardly notice. We desert rats can find shade anywhere and ice water was always nearby. Good practice facility and snack bar. Ray, the starter, was a really cool dude. Very helpful and friendly with a wisecrack or two about my favorite football team. I live in Tucson and this will be my course of choice whenever I’m in the area.
Excellent Course
Recommend this course to beginner players and the staff was organized and very helpful.
Ok price but nice course
This course is very well maintained and has great practice facilities. I would say it is expensive, even for the on-season prices. In like Dec-Apr it is like $150 and in the off season it is like $65
Poor Pace of Play
Group in front fell 2 holes behind. No marshal on course to speed up play. Pace of play was worst out of all 6 courses the played.
Wonderful AZ weather and pretty course.
Bag drop service needs a major reorganization. It is not user friendly or employee friendly. Time for a remodel that works.
