Ironwood/Acacia at Kierland Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Kierland Golf Club offers three nines: Ironwood, Acacia, and Mesquite that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The courses have a true desert feel with water only coming into play three times, on the final hole of each nine. The Ironwood/Acacia Course combines the most player-friendly of the nines with the club's signature nine. Ironwood offers a sampling of Acacia's signature mounding but its layout has a links feel that is more forgiving. The Acacia nine offers a fair challenge with a bevy of mounds and bunkers strategically placed along all of the fairways. The final par-5 hole is the golf course's signature. It is one of the area's most challenging finishes with water all along the left side of the fairway and mounding along the right as well as a green protected by five bunkers.

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.
Beautiful Course
This is a beautiful resort course. Allows you to spray the ball without losing too many. Very lush. I really enjoy playing here as its green with plenty of shade. Some tee boxes don't have much shade, but other than that, its very nice.
Fun course…
Overall fun course and will definitely play again. The back nine greens were rough as they were just recently punched. Areas around the greens very wet leading to plugged approaches. But the staff was great and the beer was cold…great time.
Overbooked
The course was terribly overbooked - almost a five hour round on a Thursday! I’ve played here many times and that was the slowest round to date.
A good deal for the $
Played with a nice guy I met on the first tee.Temp was 116 started at 2pm.Price was under $60. We both we were both attracted by the price. The pics I saw of the course led me to believe it would be more intimidating the course was straight forward.If You drive it fairly straight the design makes it hard to loose a ball ( most fairways slope to the middle..Had a nice time. Play for the bargain rate if you can take the heat.
A Golfers Desert Dream
Great courses, great staff. It was 112 degrees but you would hardly notice. We desert rats can find shade anywhere and ice water was always nearby. Good practice facility and snack bar. Ray, the starter, was a really cool dude. Very helpful and friendly with a wisecrack or two about my favorite football team. I live in Tucson and this will be my course of choice whenever I’m in the area.
