Rating 73.8
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.

There is no PA system announcing what group is on the tee or on deck and the starter doesn’t let any group know. Frustrating.

Pace of play
I have played this course many times and pace of play is never a good experience. We played on a Saturday. In the group ahead of us was a new golfer. On the 1st hole she whiffed the ball at least 25 times. Behind us was a man with small kids. One of the kids hit into us on the 1st hole as we were leaving the green.
