Ironwood/Acacia at Kierland Golf Club

How can you charge these green fees and put a fivesome on the course? Play was way too slow and spoiled the round.

Played Mesquite and Acacia for twilight rate. Beautiful practise facility to warm up before the round, personable starter and pro shop staff as well as refreshment cart and food service. Some challenging holes and surprises but no trick holes. Fairly open and fair. Fans and mist in the carts were welcome in the heat. Only complaint was a slow twosome ahead of us that without any marshall to speed up. Fortunately we finished in enough time to see the piper play Dreamweaver's Canyon .... a classy touch to a great golf outing.

Kierland offers a great course with a great facility. The course, from tee to green is just perfect. The right amount of challenges gives you the chance to play aggressively if you want without being penalized too much. The only thing missing was.... sand to fill divots. But other than that, a perfect place to play in the middle of Scottsdale.

This course/resort is part of the Westin group and as such has an expensive rack rate but after keeping an eye on Golf now my wife and I found a good deal(still on expensive side) to play this course. We booked to play on the Ironwood and Acacia course at a tee time 8:30.
Staff on arrival very friendly and helped us through the booking in process and directions to practise area. This itself was immaculate and after hitting a few we were ushered to our air conditioned buggy with mist spray and introduced to the starter who set us off with the usual instruction and tips with a joke or two thrown in as well.
I'm off 9 and played off the back tees which were perfect and as the course unfolded gave the right amount of challenge. The pace of play was great and the views and course condition fabulous. This truly is a course you must play and it's up there with the best of courses Az has to offer.
We finished our round where our clubs were cleaned to within an inch of their life by the super efficient staff.
We stayed on and had a wonderful lunch and would highly recommend this venue for golf and food.

The water for the cart coolers didn't work but otherwise it is a great experience.

Well Kierland has three nines and is a resort course. Many of the fairways have large mounds or hills that help your ball back into play. Course is ok, but not worth $200 per round. I booked on Golfnow and paid half that amount. Anyway, I'd play this course again. Just be cognizant of the green fees. Driving rain was nice.

Everything about Kierland is great except the price. As have other courses in the area they have raised their prices to the point of excluding alot of people. Not necessarily the way to GROW golf

Loved the two courses we played - Mezquite and Acacia. They were both challenging and fair, and both were in excellent condition. Beautiful mountain vistas along the way. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only the 9th hole on Acacia was a bit over the top. Sharp slopes toward the water and no cart access. You had to keep going up and down from the cart path to the ball. Got very tiring. Added 15 minutes to the round.

The course was in excellent condition and the layout of the course provided for fairly easy play. A tad expensive for an average day out, but worth a splurge if you're looking for a good course close to Scottsdale.

Acacia on the front, challenging and awesome. Back was the Mesquite side and rather flat but still in great shape. Greens are true, fairways are nice, keeping drives in them is key, longer grass outside fairways adds difficulty and length. We played a combination between gold and black to keep things realistic and fair. Suggest other golfers do the same for pace. Staff helpful and allowed excellent time between groups, no over crowding like the rest of the valley recently. Enjoy a great golf outing,

The fairways and greens were in excellent shape and manicured. The layout of the holes was good but not memorable or challenging. It certainly meets expectations of an upscale tourist course which was what we wanted for our first round of the new year.

I would rate this course as one of the top 5 I have played in the last 25 years. The shape of the coures was excellent.The deal we bought to play there was also the best in the last 25 years.This course has everything for the beginner to the scratch golfer.The greens were perfect not slow and not pro speed.The practice area was a little small but very well done with yardages and putting green was at the same speed as the course was. The staff were very helpful getting us to the right 9. I will be looking a booking deal to play there again.

Loved playing the course for the first time, just disappointed that the price is not in my range without a discount deal.

Beautiful desert course and immaculately maintained.
Had one of my better rounds of the year with friends from Scottsdale.
Found it somewhat pricey compared to other similarly prominent courses that have more character, elevation changes and scenery.

This course has a great layout. You have to work for you're pars but the course isn't so difficult you want to quit the game when finished.

basic golf course, tees and greens witrh wide fairways. Far too expensive at 65 let alone the 200 they want to charge.

Course was well maintained, excellent staff and course marshall did his best to keep pace of play going. If the marsall was not on his toes this could have been a 5 hour plus round.

This was the second time we have played this course. Though the course is enjoyable they overbooked the tee times as far as I am concerned and then the Marshall was complaining about the pace of play. We were chastised for stopping to get a sandwich at the turn and rudely told that he was moving the foursome behind us up. Little did he know that we were with that group anyways. When golfing at a resort of this caliber, you would think that they would make the experience more enjoyable.

Good course in great shape. Lots of room to miss in both directions. Good place to start a golf trip or warm up your swing after layoff. Troon, TPC, or Wekopa are better values at rack rate but this is a good play if you can get it at a discount or resident rate.

I recieved a great deal for this normally high priced course. For the $69.00 I paid for the round, I thought the course was worth it. Its an extremely beautiful and challenging course. The emaculate and undulating fairways (sometimes perfect drives are thwarted by downhill/uphill lies) made for a challenging day. Staff was profession, eager to help and extremely friendly. The bevarge cart, as promised was seen twice per each nine. I would play there again if the price was right. I am glad I finally decided to try it.
