Los Caballeros Golf Club
About
Rancho de Los Caballeros offers everything from horseback rides through the desert to hot stone massages at the spa. This historic dude ranch is also known as one of the state's most popular golfing destinations. Golf Digest ranked the Rancho de Los Caballeros golf course in the top five in Arizona and nationally, it's ranked in the top 100. The layout sprawls across rolling terrain and incorporates two large lakes into the design. The course climbs up 2,100 feet at its highest point providing stunning views of Vulture Peak to the south and the Bradshaw Mountains to the north. The par-4 13th is the signature hole. It features several changes in elevation and a small, undulating green that is also heavily guarded by bunkers. In addition to the course, the golf club at Rancho de Los Caballeros also has multiple driving ranges, practice putting greens, and there's also a short-game practice area.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone not only for the course which is in fantastic condition but also for the scenery around the course. Great layout with 5 sets of tees that will provide enjoyment & challenge to any player regardless of skill level. Wonderful staff & good pace of play. Worth the trip from anywhere in the valley.
Great place to play!!
Course was in great shape. Practice facility awesome.
From the first tee to 18th it was green and lush!
Hi, u193701604. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Los Caballeros Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
No waiting!
We got paired up with another twosome this morning. Nice guys and we played in 3.5 hours! It would have been helpful to have a cart girl out there since it was very hot today! There was plenty of water out on the course though! The course was in great condition!
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Los Caballeros Golf Club!

Good conditions for summer
First time playing here and the staff was excellent in all respects. The course has some "summer skin" showing, but overall pretty good conditions. The greens (except a couple) are in fantastic shape, hold the ball well and putt true. Will go back again and again. I am sure the course conditions will improve in the fall when the over seed.
Hi u000005260208. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Los Caballeros Golf Club.
Some bare spots on the fairways and the greens were very overwatered
Hello u157778466. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Los Cabellaros is a pleasure to play and a good test!
The more I play this course the more I like it. The staff is always friendly and professional. Pace of play has been great the last couple times, however it's just not very crowded on Arizona courses during the summer. The course has good diversity and you will get a chance to use most of the clubs in your bag. It was in good shape for the time of year.
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Los Cabelleros.
Soft Greens
They are keeping their bent grass greens moist to make it through the summer without brown out so any ball hit to the green was holding very well. Love the layout, some short open holes, some tight holes, a couple of water holes that you better pay attention to as they are not readily apparent and seven holes on the back nine are uphill and play longer than the yardage. And the sand was soft. This place is very busy in the winter season but is a joy right now.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Los Cabelleros thanks you!
Simply Beautiful
Second time playing, and this course was perfect! Challenging and beautiful, a Great combination.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great course and staff
Love playing Los C.’setting is beautiful and staff is outstanding! Only pet peeve is charging for range balls. Just a small annoyance. Just build it into the price.

Fun and challenging golf course
The course was in good shape when we played and the greens were quick but not super fast. We enjoyed our round enough to purchase a reply. 36 holes at Los Cab is a good test.

(Rancho de) Los Caballeros Golf Club - A Hidden Arizona Gem
Rancho de los Caballeros is a legitimate working "dude ranch," honoring the "gentlemen on horseback," known as Spanish caballeros. The ranch, horses, decor and its 20,000 acres of land set it apart from any other golfing experience in Arizona. It opened in the late 1940's (the golf course opened in 1979) and has been offering a brilliant experience ever since.
Avid desert SouthWest golfers likely know the work of Greg Nash and Jeff Hardin: Both courses at El Conquistador CC are theirs, as is Union Hills Country Club. Separately, the two worked with some of the greats, including Robert "Red" Lawrence (Desert Forest), George Fazio (Butler National) and Billy Casper (Anthem). But the pair's tour de force is Los Cab.
Small bent grass greens are the hallmark of the course. They are always in phenomenal shape (I have actually back up well-struck mid-irons here). Thye tend to be fast with a fair amount of undulation for their size. Fairways are ample for desert golf and the views are wonderful, overlooking Vulture Peak and the Bradshaw Mountains. The golf course tracks easily through the rising and falling terrain of the Upper Sonoran Desert
Hardin and Nash gave us a terrific routing which culminates in the final few holes, beginning with 13, a spectacular par 5 that demands your very best. In fact, your "A" game is ABSOLUTELY what you will want to have as you reach the final three holes. Sixteen through eighteen have shredded many a good round, as they gracefully fall through the desert to the clubhouse. At 7000 yards-plus, the slope rating is a stiff 137. But even from the 6500 yard range, you have a strong 132 staring right back at you.
Pace of play is often quick and wonderful. The food always top quality and the shop apportioned with great products and a one of a kind logo that, when seen by another player who has teed it up there as well, will often lead to a friendly conversation about that Hidden Gem that exists in Wickenburg, Arizona.
Hello, Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review of our golf course. We appreciate you taking the time and hope you will let us know if you ever need anything while you are here. Come back and see us again very soon for more of the best golf in town.
Great course
From tee to green this course was in great shape. If you get a chance to play it, take advantage. Some of the holes are a little more forgiving from the tee box than most desert courses, but there is still plenty of trouble lurking.

Primo Establishment
Great course w/all kinds of elevation changes. Plenty of twists and turns. Difficult yes, but fairways generous enough to position the ball. A few greens had extreme undulations. Fast.
Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. HUGE wind throughout. Rain introduced itself on 15 thru the finish.
Hello, Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
Worth the drive from Scottsdale
