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

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
Top Quality
Kierlands is a top quality resort course. Suitable for all levels of play, the course is expertly manicured and the attention to detail is evident. Got a deep discount on Golfnow and an great golf experience at Kierlands.
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.
Pk
Fantastic resort course if you can get a deal. Open enough so you can let it rip and have some fun
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.
Beautiful, well-manicured course
We really enjoyed our round at Kierland. Very pleasant staff, great warm up facilities, clean washrooms, refreshments were available and the course was in great shape. Greens and fairways were in awesome condition. Even with a tournament that day, we finished in just over four hours.
Great course
Course in fantastic shape. Greens run true. All around quality course.
Great condition and moderate challenge. Not a lot of blind shots.
My husband and I played this course on feb 12th 2014. We were paired up with a lovely couple. The course is in excellent condition. A great round, especially after not playing for a few cold months!
Great Course
Course is in great shape in a great area of Scottsdale. Deceptively difficult, but still a fun course to play. I think it is a bit overpriced even for the season, but a good deal if you can find the occasional bargain. It is definitely in the top 15 public courses in the Phoenix area.
Not easy but fun.
Don't really hear people talk much about this course, but for a resort course it was in amazing shape. Not easy but definitely playable. Open fairways and well groomed greens.Good green fees through Golf Now for January play. Will play this again.
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.
Always Great
Great course . Wife and I loved it for the past 5 years and expect to love it i the future. Friendly to men and women . beautiful views always well kept.
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!
Friendly design
one of my favorite courses for my wife and I. Challenging, yet fair for the average golfer
