Poston Butte Golf Club

About
Located just southeast of Phoenix in the town of Florence, Poston Butte Golf Club offers some of the most affordable golf in the area. The course has desert attributes but the best part about its design is that it is more forgiving than some of the overgrown desert courses found in north Scottsdale. The golf course features 49 sand traps strategically placed around the landing zones and greensides and water comes into play on two holes. It is generally a player-friendly layout though with wide fairways and ample room off the tees. The par-3 17th is the signature hole, which is known for its challenging island green. Poston Butte also offers a double-ended, targeted grass range and a short game area.

Greens have improved
Last spring the greens were hard and bumpy. Played this week the greens are soft grass has regrown and are in very good condition. Just out of overseed so a bit slower than usual however great to play.

They sent out a mosquito warning after we prepaid thanks because we needed it
Don’t leave the hardscape until sprayed
You can’t see these bugs
They don’t have spray at the course
Course is green and in nice shape but greens a bit slow
Great track
This course is in excellent condition! Price is fair for the time of year. Staff was great!! Highly recommend!
Irrigation Leaks Galore
Course could be in great condition except for more irrigation leaks than I have ever seen on a course. Time to hire a crew to tackle them.
Great as always, with an exception
This course is top notch, I love playing here and will hopefully play here in the future.
However, the entire experience is somewhat soured by the staff. Pro Shop is great, but the Starter and his crew (everyone wearing green Poston Butte shirts) need to be replaced. Starter was bad mouthing other employees loudly, made fun of another golfers drive on the first tee, and got into a verbal confrontation with another patron - all of this was done loudly enough for anyone putting, chipping or on the driving range to hear.
Once you're on the course, it's great, but man it's bad vibes up until then.
Tees, Fairways, Bunkers, Greens, Staff
If you found a flaw in any of those choices, you were some place else. This course is and has always been my confident booking each and overtime. Come play here! It's a must!!
1st time
Great 1st time playing at Poston Butte. It’s a bit of a drive from surrounding Tucson area, but the course was in great shape, good layout with some length to it. Enough space to hit driver all day. Greens were rolling true and challenging with the almost every green being tiered. Hole with the island green was visually awesome and fun to play. Staff was helpful and easy to talk with. 100% will play here again.
Great Course; Bad Staff Experience
Usually wouldn’t go out of my way to leave a review, but here it is..
Course is one of my favs and is finally in great condition. Played here several times this year, but due to how I was treated by a staff member named Scott, I will not return to this course, which is a bummer because the course was is in awesome shape and I play here often. Miscommunication between the staff led to blatant arrogance & disrespect by Scott which I don’t think should be allowed or tolerated by anyone. Thanks Scott! 👍🏻
Always good
Poston never disappoints. Conditions are always solid. Good fairways, greens, and more. Plenty of drinking water on the course as well. All in all it’s in great shape!
Another Great Round
I'm glad I was able to get back to Poston Butte before the prices start to increase, this is such a great course and you cannot beat it right now for the price. If you debating to play here don't! The course is in great shape you will not be disappointed.
Best 18 holes for the price
This course is in phenomenal condition for this time of the year. The practice facilities are top notch and are similar to playing conditions on the course itself. Troon layout is always great as long as youre in the short stuff. Hole 17 is such a cool par 3 with its island green. Definitely recommend you get out and play this one.
