Rating 72.5

Kierland Golf Club boasts three unique nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Acacia/Mesquite Course begins with Kierland's signature nine. Acacia features gently sloping fairways, all of which are bordered by bunkers. The last four holes are the most memorable, particularly the finishing hole, which is the club's signature hole. It is a tricky par 5 with water all along the left side of the fairway to the bunker-protected green. Along the way there are also fairway bunkers that sit just past the water and strategic mounding on the other side. It is a true accomplishment just to make par. Acacia is a formidable challenge but many would argue that the Mesquite nine is more difficult. Its par-4 sixth hole might be the golf course's toughest.

Roomy Fairways

If you are looking to play a course that is a litttle more forgiving from the tee then Kierland is a good choice. The greens were in nice shape and rolled well, we found it a fun track to play that was not as challenging as some in the area. Nice pro shop, and practice area as well

Top 5

This is one of the best around in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of rolling/slope type courses as opposed to the typical desert course you find 15 mins north of Kierland. Lush open fairways and tricky short game surrounding the greens.

You gotta play here if you have the chance.

Good but not great.

Overall nice condition check in and pace was good. Not overly scenic runs through condos, hotels and business park. Fairways are mostly wide with big greens only a couple of tight driving holes. When we finished no one at cart return area so had to lug clubs to far end of parking lot which was a hike. Got good deal on golf now so overall nice day. Had I paid the 169 price would have been very disappointed. At that price much better options out there.

Great Experience

Although this tee time was a little later than we would have liked, given the heat wave, we could not pass up this course at such a great deal.

Staff was tremendous and pace of play was under 4 hours.

Course was a little fuzzy from overseeding, but other than that - outstanding.

Decent desert resort golf

Kierland is a classic resort course. Very well maintained and with all the amenities you'd expect, but the track is fairly easy (save for a couple of the finishing holes) and not overly memorable. A good course if you are working on or want to feel good about your game, as most holes feature gentle rolling swales that tend to funnel the ball towards the fairway. Staff was friendly but starter was clueless; switched up bags and pairings three times and then sent us off 10 minutes late.

Not worth the hype

This is a good course, but not worth the hype of being one of the best in Scottsdale. Bag boys were rude, but the course Marshal was great. Pro Shop staff was very professional.

Great Experience

Been in the valley a long time and hadn't made it out to Kierland until now. Course was in fantastic shape in the middle of the AZ summer. Was equally impressed with the service staff being so attentive making sure we had cold water and anything needed to stay hydrated. Pace of play was an issue strictly because we had a group of 12 playing for cash. Will definitely be playing here in the future.

Plemty of room of the tee and the challenge is around the tricky green complexes. Course is very enjoyable for all handicaps.

Great course/family friendly

Played Ironwood/Mesquite course, and they were both in great condition. Great to see with 100+ degree weather. Facilities were top notch and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very family friendly facility. Had a great time playing golf and staying at the Westin Kierland! Highly recommend!

Fun, playable Course in good condition

Being a resort course you can almost guarantee that the grounds will be well kept, which they were. The conditions for summer were very good and the course is very fun and playable for all levels. The AC mist units on the cart were a nice bonus and the ice and water stations were constant throughout the course.

I recommend this track.
