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.

Poor value for money
Like all AZ facilities Kierland raised their prices to historic levels to take advantage of post covid demand. This would not be so bad except for the lack of services that any good resort course provides. Disinterested pro shop staff, no services on the range, very slow play, poor conditions on the course. Anyone would expect more after paying $250. Will not recommend to anyone.
Very forgiving
Enjoyed my round. Many of the fairways slope to the center, so it is forgiving. The course was in great shape.
Thought it was to have no trash containers or ball washers on the course.
Poor value for money
Service staff totally disinterested in providing the level of service associated with a resort club
Has to be the unfriendliest Staff
I can not believe how unfriendly the staff are at this course. The fellow at the bag checking was so rude and was even rude to my wife who wasn't even going to play, I went to the Pro Shop after the round to make tee times and they were not much friendlier. Unbelievable... and to make matters worse we are owners of Westin Vacation Club and staying at the villas and I am a Platinum member of the Marriott program.
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.
Staff Could Have Been Friendlier
Beautiful resort course, but the staff could have been friendlier.
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.
Epitome of a resort course. Nice well manicured fairways and big excellent greens.
