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.

Fun course always play the same two 9’s

I’ve played here quite a few times. I’ve always played the same 2 9 hole courses. Mesquite and ironwood,…acacia is a mystery.

Pace great, great condition, much too pexoensive for this type of course- but that’s resort prices at peak season- expected.

I’ll be back in the summer.

Very enjoyable

Very pleasant time with 3 members. Quick round at 3:30, but typical for first tee time with members. The bowl shaped fairways keep the ball mostly in play as we were rarely off line too much. Green were in good shape, but are tricky, and several of the pin placements were on the side of a slope.

Great time

Four of us played from all different handicap levels and really enjoyed the course. The views, the variety of holes to play, and the condition of the course were great.

Nice Course - Overpriced

Course was in great shape. Greens rolled well (about an 11) however you can expect to pay premium pricing right now because all golf courses in the area have rates really high due to the Waste Management Open being in town last week.Not many tee times available so courses have pushed green fees way up. Its a good course but not a $300 per round course.
