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.

Great experience

I’m a college golf coach and our team played the course today during our spring break. It was fantastic. The course was in excellent shape and the staff was wonderful. We loved it and we're going to see if we can play it again tomorrow.

The round was good but could have been excellent if the marshal would have help move the slow players along. Three groups were held back a slow twosome. One of our players didn't finish his round because of the slow pace.

Gorgeous Course and GREAT People Working At This Place

This has become my go-to course when I am in Phoenix area. I have played it twice in the past month. First off it is in phenomenal shape, hats off to the owners for reseeding last year and making this place a true gem. Second, the staff are terrific. Absolutely top notch customer service. From taking care of tee times, to giving advice on incredible places to go in the area. Big shout out to Drew for recommending Leo's in Avondale for what turned out to be the best breakfast burrito on the planet. Made for a perfect day there recently. Came in during recent rain (pretty rare in PHX) and everyone had smiles and great attitude, just wait it out and enjoy the clubhouse. It could not have been better. I will be back next month, cannot wait!

Cussing me out

Went golfing at Coldwater and it was pouring rain went in after 5 holes of golf to ask for a 9 hole rain check after I paid for 18 holes. Pete then proceeded to tell me it’s not raining and had no interest in looking to see if it was raining for himself. He laughed at me when I asked for the rain check. Pete then started raising his voice and I told him he had poor customer service and then Pete told me to leave using vulgar language. I was shocked at that statement and then turned around and left. Will not return to Cold Water. Do not recommend playing this course.

Never again

As a local who golfs regularly, I was really disappointed with my first experience at Cold Water Golf Course in Avondale. To start, the golf cart barely ran — it felt like it was on its last legs, which is not what you want when you're out there trying to enjoy a round. The course itself wasn’t much better. It was poorly marked, and finding the next tee box was a real challenge, which just added to the frustration.

The course conditions were also lacking. The grass was patchy all over, and it seemed like the course hadn't been well-maintained in a while. Then, when the rain hit and we got absolutely drenched, we asked Pete for a voucher to come back and finish the back nine later. Instead of being understanding, he was rude and belligerent — definitely not the kind of service you'd expect, especially when weather is out of anyone's control.

I've played at a lot of courses around here, and unfortunately, this one didn’t even come close to meeting expectations. Won’t be back.

First/ last time

Halfway these course, little ragged even not bad pro shop service was abysmal Pete Man, the pro shop, and was exceptionally rude. When I asked for a rain check given the rain told me that it was as a matter of fact, not raining and that I should’ve known that it was going to rain. The rain was projected to end at 10 AM. My teatime was 1230.

Very nice course!

First time I played this course and I really enjoyed it. The greens were in great shape. Fairways were in good shape some very challenging holes and overall a great value for the money. The only downside is that there is no outside cart service so you will have a slow down at the turn if you want any food or beverages.

This course continuously goes down hill

This course continually goes downhill every time I play it. There doesn’t appear to be much effort in keeping the course up, the greens are terribly patchy, fairways are either dried out or way too wet, ponds are dry terrible, there’s gopher holes in tee boxes. It’s even over priced for a round of yukking it up with the boys.

Clubhouse/bar and staff are pretty great though!

Great course in good condition.

There were a few rough tee boxes, but the fairways and greens were in fantastic condition. Playing from the tips really added some yardage and thought. Definitely worth the trip and price. Definitely playing the course again.

No starter or marshal made for a very slow round. 4hr 40m should never be an option.

The course condition however is light years better than last year so good job there.

Marshall required!

The course was in real good shape but man, do they need a marshall on the course - maybe even two of them. The pace of play was brutal!

The grounddogs are digging all over the place, most off the tee off are uneven and the greens are very slow

IMPOSSIBLY SLOW PLAY

A 5 hour round caused by the much younger foursome in front of us. They waited to tee off on every tee until the group in front of them was off the green in front of them. They teed from the tips and the longest drive I ever saw was maybe 200 yards. Need a Marshall on the course to shepherd all the players who are either ignorant of course etiquette or just don't care.

Good Value

The course is good shape. The fairways and greens were good. The tee boxes were a little beat up but I would rather have that beat up greens. I would play again.
