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.

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.

Expensive resort course

Disappointed in the fairway conditions of this course. People don’t fill divots or take bunkers. Play was slow uneven lies every where

Fun time

Excellent condition. Fun layout. Played in just under 4 hours. We would have been close to 3 hours but the group in front was not letting faster groups through. Enjoyed the round. Staff was super friendly.

Great AZ Course during Summer Heat

The course was in great shape for enduring a month of monsoon weather and blistering temperatures. Well done grounds crew. I really enjoy playing here during the dog days of summer as the value and the amenities make it great.
