Located in the West Valley, the championship-length course at the Coldwater Golf Club boasts several different challenges for an interesting round of golf. There are elevated tees as well as several dry washes. There are two lakes providing water hazards on the golf course as well. There are also dramatic elevation changes caused by the mountainous terrain. Aside from the challenging game, the course also offers beautiful mountain vistas. The course has not only one signature course but two. The first is the modest eighth hole. Although it is short at 100 yards, it features an elevated tee and a triple-tiered green. Coldwater Golf Club also finishes with a signature hole. The beginning tee shot plays to an open fairway over water with a dry wash to the left, while the approach shot is closed-in by another wash to the left and a lake to the right.

Trending down

Course condition has certainly decayed over the past few months. Green is in tough position, most greens look infected & are not very true. Few putts bounced right off face & overall was not great. Round was fairly cheap so all-in-all they did not over charge. I’ve played Coldwater in the past so I know the potential & it’s far from what it used to be. If you’re looking to just get out & hit some balls, this is not a bad option, just don’t expect it to be plush. Love the staff though.

Worst greens I’ve played.

I understand the warmer weather but this was some of the worst greens in metro Phoenix I’ve ever played. If not the worst. The maintenance and care of them need a lot more attention.

Great value

We paid 78.00 for 2 golfers with gps cart . Not many courses are that cheap in the valley . Granted some of the greens were patchy and dying and hardpan around the fairways and greens . But overall the layout was decent and fairway were is great shape . Would recommend to friends if price is a factor .

Needs some help

Course has degraded since our last time here a few weeks ago. Thin tee boxes and greens, some like concrete. Would rate course conditions below average for sure. Hard traps as well, typical for these types of courses. We were done our round in 2:45, not real busy when we went at 1:00 so that was sure nice.

Coldwater in April

Was a fun round, fairways are looking great! Only thing is the greens are being taken over by mold and were pretty bad. All in all was an awesome round and one of the better tracks for the money

Not What You Pay For

Tee Box’s and Greens were what I expect to get from a $15-$20 a round golf course. I’ve been to pitch and puts that were nicer than these. Definitely not worth the $100 do the round.

Not well maintained

The fairway's were in fair shape but the greens had more bare spots than grass. The bunkers were just packed dirt. I can't remember the last time they actually had sand.

The greens are the worst part of the golf course.

The fairways were very good, but the greens were terrible.

Bad Shape

I have played this course many times and have never seen it in this bad of shape. There was standing water and mud everywhere, the tee boxes were beat up without a level spot on any of them and there wasn't a grain of sand in any of the sand traps. The greens were horrible with bare spots and fungus damage on all of them. We saw the beverage cart for the first tine on hole 17 and she didnt even stop to ask us if we wanted anything.

Greens are a little rough

Greens need attention, bare spots and uneven surfaces. Fairways were gorgeous. Nice layout, good pace of play. Finished 18 in just under 4 hours.
