Acacia/Mesquite at Kierland Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Staff
Course was great, pace of play was good, had fun out there but staff was questionable.
No one was at bag drop
Club house staff didn't seem too thrilled that we were there.
Cart girl made us get our own ice. We asked her to fill up our ice chests and were willing to tip on the 3rd hole. She declined and told us to get it ourselves. She lost out on about $40 in tips because we did purchase food or drinks after that.
Kierland Golf Course
We had an amazing time playing Kierland. Excellent course and conditions, but more importantly, the entire organization needs to be commended from check in, to going to the driving range, and the starters and Marshalls. A TOP NOTCH golf experience. I can’t wait to return and play again.
Fun resort course
Fun for casual or serious golfers. Three different nine hole courses all of which were fun. 9th hole par 5 on Acacia is less fun because of the cart path only restriction.
Nice but Pricey
Kierland is a very nice resort golf course that provides wide fairways and challenging greens. That said, paying $300 for the round with amenities that I find at a good muni is over the top. But, it's Arizona...
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.
