Ironwood/Acacia at Kierland Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great Experience
Although this tee time was a little later than we would have liked, given the heat wave, we could not pass up this course at such a great deal.
Staff was tremendous and pace of play was under 4 hours.
Course was a little fuzzy from overseeding, but other than that - outstanding.
Decent desert resort golf
Kierland is a classic resort course. Very well maintained and with all the amenities you'd expect, but the track is fairly easy (save for a couple of the finishing holes) and not overly memorable. A good course if you are working on or want to feel good about your game, as most holes feature gentle rolling swales that tend to funnel the ball towards the fairway. Staff was friendly but starter was clueless; switched up bags and pairings three times and then sent us off 10 minutes late.
Great Resort Golf
Friendly staffs, great amenities. All things were first class.
Not worth the hype
This is a good course, but not worth the hype of being one of the best in Scottsdale. Bag boys were rude, but the course Marshal was great. Pro Shop staff was very professional.
Best course In Phoenix
The course was in immaculate shape for being in the summer. Service if the pros hope and staff were top notch. This is going to be a course I throw in my repitore.
Great Experience
Been in the valley a long time and hadn't made it out to Kierland until now. Course was in fantastic shape in the middle of the AZ summer. Was equally impressed with the service staff being so attentive making sure we had cold water and anything needed to stay hydrated. Pace of play was an issue strictly because we had a group of 12 playing for cash. Will definitely be playing here in the future.
Kierland
Course was in great shape. Mediocre hospitality!
Great resort course
Plemty of room of the tee and the challenge is around the tricky green complexes. Course is very enjoyable for all handicaps.
Great course/family friendly
Played Ironwood/Mesquite course, and they were both in great condition. Great to see with 100+ degree weather. Facilities were top notch and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very family friendly facility. Had a great time playing golf and staying at the Westin Kierland! Highly recommend!
Fun, playable Course in good condition
Being a resort course you can almost guarantee that the grounds will be well kept, which they were. The conditions for summer were very good and the course is very fun and playable for all levels. The AC mist units on the cart were a nice bonus and the ice and water stations were constant throughout the course.
I recommend this track.
Golf in the Summer Heat
Kierland is a great course that a rookie golfer can navigate but from the back tees poses enough challenges for an experienced golfer to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The course was in great shape for Summer in Scottsdale. Staff was excellent and friendly. My buddy, who has played all over the world, had never played Kierland before and was totally impressed.
Excellent round
The golf course is in excellent condition. There was more than expected moisture on the fairway as we played early in the morning. Overall, it was fun and enjoyed.

Course was in great shape greens were soft and fast. Beverage cart great job saw here 4 times on each 9.
Played ironwood and acacia
Course was in excellent condition. Pace was awesome. Staff extremely friendly. Practice facilities were excellent as well. Would play this course anytime.
Great golf and terrific food
Overall, I was very pleased with the golf course and amenities. The staff was friendly and course conditions were very good. The greens were hard and fast, but they were consistent, which is critical. At least you can adjust to consistently fast. Views of Camelback Mountain in the background made for very scenic play. Check out the restaurant if you have time; the cheesesteak sliders were amazing!
Kiwi couple
I picked this course to play based on the high rating score on GolfNow. I can only assume that others rated it highly as they played it well. The layout is boring. Every par 4 looks the same and the course is quite easy so long as you hit fairly straight. We went there hoping to eat breakfast before playing but all they had available was a takeout breakfast sandwich pre-made and kept heated. Very disappointed in this course. We would highly recommend a slightly longer drive to play Lookout Mountain for half the price.
Great Course-Excellent conditions
Played Ironwood and Acacia courses early (first tee time) as a foursome played front in less than 2hrs-because of cross over with three 9 holes courses or maybe because they didn't expect us to make the turn so quickly a slower group was put out in front of us on the back. Still played the back in 2:20hr. Resort courses with likely a good dose of corporate play as the resort hosts many larger corporate meetings.
The courses were fantastic with unbelievable greens.
Can't wait to play again.
Nice Track
My son and I enjoyed a nice round early in the morning. It was spring break and this was a treat. There were no discounts to be found anew paid over $200 per person. We played Marriott Wildwood and Troon North earlier in the week for similar money. While the course and greens were in fine shape the course did not compare to the quality of either. This was a true "executive course". Hills served as backstops and helped ur ball to the middle fairway. No doubt I'd play it again.
Kierland is an easy resort course and most that review it are from out of town. For excellent (public) golf play We Ko Pa, Troon North or a little further out is Quintero. All scenic and difficult.
