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.

Very nice course

The course was in excellent condition. The greens were running at about 11 1/2 and true. Tees and fairways were in great shape. Resort course with nice wide fairways and fairways that collect back to the middle instead of off the course. But you still had to hit good shots or you would find trouble. It was a very fun day of golf.

Nice course. Overpriced compared to the competition

Basic resort course. Straight forward, kinda boring. No real trouble. Round was very long due to everyone playing on 2 or the 3 rounds.

Enjoyed the course. Greens were difficult.

I gave the course a 4 out of 5.
The disappointing part was not receiving the divot tool, course book, and the bag tag as promised from my reservation confirmation.

The day was delightful and although we were a two-some didn't have to wait long to play, even though we were following a foursome.

Very scenic course with some challenging holes to carefully consider club choice. Great staff!

Pleasant round

From club drop off before round to club clean up afterwards, service was exemplary. Arrive early to utilize the practice range and green. We played front nine on Ironwood, back nine on Acacia.. For a summer round, the course was in very good shape. Mesquite (a third 9 hole course) will be closed now for a bit for maintenance. Restrooms and snack shop conveniently located in a stand alone building.

HEAVEN FORBID YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY USE YOUR LEGS AND WALK ON THE LAST TWO HOLES! THEY ARE CART PATH ONLY FOR A REASON ON #9 BECAUSE IT'S A DANGEROUS HOLE TO DRIVE ON THOSE SLOPES.

Misters on cart what an experience

The last few holes were not made for players with knee problems but still fun. You could not take the cart on the fairways and to get to your ball you had to walk down very steep grounds and very few walk ways to walk up and down in.

Basic resort course layout...too pricey

You are mostly paying for the fact that it is located in north Scottsdale and it is part of a major resort. The course is in great condition, but it is your typical resort style course layout. Only one or two memorable holes, #7 and #9 on Acacia. We played Acacia and Mesquite. Mesquite was one of the more pedestrian courses I have played in the valley for the price that we paid.

If you're looking for an open and fairly easy course, than this is it. If you want to pay the same or even a little less and have a course with character, you can find a dozen courses in the area.

Very Good Summer Shape

Well maintained considering the time of year. Only a few burnt out areas which is expected, however they do no affect play. Nice range, and even with 9 of the 27 holes closed with construction, we had a great day.

This course has "grass" this time of year!!

I live here in the valley and play a lot of golf. A lot of the courses are burned out and barely have any grass. Kierland actually had grass and their greens rolled very fast. This course is in great condition considering it is summer. Thank you for a great time!!

Been There - Done That...

Well maintained for the most part, but expected more (kind of boring) for the price. Your money would be better spent elsewhere.
Relatively slow business wise... You would think they would lower their price to gain more during the summer.
