The course layout consistently earns high praise, with the Acacia nine standing out as a particularly enjoyable and fun challenge. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong value for money make this a course worth returning to.

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.

Terrible greens w/o warning when booking

I was very disappointed when I got on the first green and saw the sand and huge aerification holes. The front 9's greens (Ironwood) were so bad. When I booked the round on GolfNow, there was no warning about poor greens. The 2nd 9's greens were much better. The course was watered a ton and in spots on the fairways my drives would plug and get no role at all. Almost all of the fairways and rough were very green and manicured appropriately. The course is not very challenging off the tee (TONS and TONS of open/favorable fairways), but I could see how the greens would be very challenging when rolling smooth and fast.

Slow play and 13.25 for a hot dog chips and pop!!!

Golf course was in great shape but was slow. 4 and a half hours on a late Thur morning in July in AZ. So it got hot quick because of all of the weighting around. Not the courses fault but I don't like slow play. Thanks. I had the most costly hot dog chips and pop that I had any where. Even the baseball games here in AZ are cheaper. Thanks. The 19th hole was closed for the summer so I could not get a drink after my round.

a great course to play

The course was in very good condition. The fairways were in perfect shape for the middle of summer. The ball rolled true on the greens. A great course for the advanced and intermediate golfer.

Resort style course

We played the Mesquite and Ironwood 9's. Kirland is a first class facility and we very much enjoyed our round in 3.5 hours. It is not a difficult course; the fairways are easy to hit and most of the greens are good size, not overly trapped. Everything was pristine but the greens were a little sparse in places (maybe the heat). Misters on carts did not work very well but there's some shade. The practice facilities are outstanding! I plan to play there a couple of more times this summer through GolfNow.

Still one of Scottsdale's best

Kierland Golf Club probably doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's such an inclusive resort with so many amenities that I think sometimes the 27-hole golf course is a bit overlooked. But Scott Miller, who designed the course, is a solid architect. The three nines here are distinctively different and I like the fact that it's easy to keep the ball in play. (the fairways are shaped in such a fashion that balls tend to funnel back to the center). It's always in good shape, and the holes are different enough that you're never bored. Plus, what other course offers Segways, Golf Bikes and soon, Golfboards as options to golf carts? Add to that great customer service, food & beverage and world-class practice and lesson facilities and you've got one of the best golf experiences in Scottsdale.

Enjoyable Course

The course was in fantastic shape. Every hole is different and every hole is a fair challenge. My only complaint is the sound level of the music by the resort pool near Mesquite holes number 1 and 9. It was load and obnoxious. I would not be staying at that pool if I was a resort guess. My birdie on Mesquite 1 was all the more difficult because of it.

Hot day,

Nice facilities, good course. I preferred the second 9 called acacia. Played mesquite on first nine. Our AC carts had the mist option stopped working on us but we didn't bother switching it out as we were running behind. There was a slower group in front of us and no course Marshall as we teed off late in the day I guess. Got a good deal on golfnow but would never pay 199 a round for this course as advertised on weekends. Still, it was on the bucket list and overall we were pretty happy.

Loved the course, but considering played 6 times, was far more expensive than equal other courses played, including The Phoenician.

April 13, 2014

The course was in good shape. Got our green fees for half price ($100.00) off Golf Now. Regular rate was $219.00 + tax.

I would play it again if the price was $100.00

Two different 9s

PLayed the Acacia/Mesquite 18. The Acacia quite a bit more challenging. Mesquite is a wide open tee shot and a target approach shot with bunker guared greens. Course in very nice shape. Greens in excellent condition. Tees and fairways very nice.
The staff was very freindly and most accomadating. The pace of play for two was slow on the Acacia, 21/2 hrs, and quick on the Mesquite, 11/2hrs.

Play it

This is a pricey but must play course. Great conditions, challenging track, perfect weather. There are 3 nine hole layouts and we played Ironwood and Mesquite. Hardly distinguishable. Both have wide fairways and well bunkered greens, which are large and roll fairly slow.
