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.

Interesting Layout

First time playing here; this course has a lot of potential, but looks to have been neglected for quite some time. The range, tee boxes, "litter" and course sineage all need attention. Fairways and greens are decent, overall layout is fair and challenging.

Coldwater Golf Club

Great layout in great condition. Most grass I have seen in the fairway on a desert course. No bad lies in the fairway. The course design takes great advantage of the terrain. Nothing artificial.

My only complaint.....the greens were a little slow. With faster greens I would give the course a 6-star rating.

I will play this course again.

Fairways and Greens

Played in March 19th. The fairways and greens in my opinion were in great condition. The tee box were a little rough with a fair amount of divots. Coming from CA, I thought the price I paid was worth the condition of the course. I would play again when I return.

Great Day

Coldwater was nothing short of amazing, especially for this time of year and the required price to play. Coldwater is definitely a gem and I will play it many more times.

Positives - Fairways and greens were in very good shape,

Coldwater Golf - expect what you pay

Ok, this review may seem a bit harsh to some; however, hear me out. 40+ years of playing golf in the Phoenix Metroplex during Prime Season, Jan-March, has taught me this: You get what you pay for. Mostly true, although I've definitely over paid at times; example, The Boulders (a story for a different time). Therefore, the course conditions were probably on par with paying $228.48 for two at 11:30. Here we go. The range was on worn down mats, range golf balls were about 50% ok and 50% cut and or chewed up balls. The carts were so dirty that I thought they were used sand buggies. The tee boxes were either not mowed or had patches of holes of dirt. The fairways needed to have been mowed about 3 days prior. The greens were smooth, green, and putted about 6-8 speed. The pace of play was a bit sluggish. We waited on every shot and had a 3-some waiting on us about half the time. I liked the course layout. I think that this is a course either facing money issues or draining the profits before unloading it. So all this to say, for $228.48 for 2 in Prime Time, Prime Season, we got what we paid for. We won't be back, but it was a nice day for golf and we made the most of it. "Any day on the golf links is good day." :-) Skol!

Bad Course

I played at coldwater this morning. We had a 8:24 tee time for 2 players. We played behind a group of 7 playing as a threesome & a foursome. The foursome in front of us had no clue of pace of play. They waited to tee off on every hole until the group in front of them were on the green. The tee boxes are trashed here. When your paying $86 you shoild at least have grass & level boxes. I tired to call the club house twice and was put on hold both times. There is no marshal here. After so slow of play we got a surprise on the 18th tee box. There is now 7 guys playing together on the 18th. Tried to call tbe club house but got the same response. Hello please hold. Now we are sitting on the fairway 110 yards from the green and the 7 guys aren't clearing the green. They see us waitiing so they decide it time to take selfies. I yelled for them to clear the green but the continued to take selfies az we waited. When they were fone we were saluted with a finger. To add insult to the course condition & behavior when I paid with my credit card I was charged a $2.95 ATM/.Credit Card fee. Won't be back to this course. See pictures of tee boxes.

Great course with great workers

We found this course in 2019 and have been playing it whenever we come back to Phoenix. Either the hiring process is great by finding the nicest and friendliest staff, or the training is working well. We have come to Phoenix for week on March 15th to 23rd and will play the course 6 times because really, why go anywhere else for twice the price?
