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.

Staff and Course - Awesome

Drive down from Scottsdale and this course met expectations. Staff was very friendly and we would have stayed and had a drink as food at the bar. Will be back for the food and drinks is after better planning on our part.

Course was wet in the grass and bunkers. Greens were wet and fast on the first few holes then dry and slow, oddly.

Great course!!!!

The course was in great shape, the greens were perfect, and the staff was very friendly to include the course marshals.

Will definitely be back I would suggest this course to anyone played it a few times and it’s always in meticulous condition

Course is One of the Best

If you don't mind traveling for a great golf course then this is where you have to explore. It's far from Phoenix and Scottsdale but it is better than majority of the high priced slow, horrible maintenanced in those cities. Poston Butte is a good challenge for all levels of golf. You have to hit real golf shots and have bunker shots in your arsenal. Excellent greens that run true. They have an island green Par 3.

I love this course, but this round was terribly slow

This is a fun course to play and among my favorites despite the location being challenging from the east valley. I try to get out here every once in a while as I enjoy the layout and quality of the course however yesterday was tough as there were two tournaments and somehow 3-4 foursomes mixed in the middle. That led to a 5 hour round for 18, waiting on every hole but 1,2 and 18. Not what I hoped for and I expect Poston Butte to do better next time

Great course but poor starter

I'm currently writing this review because I have been here many times and had the same treatment from the starter his name is Scott and he treats me very poorly as he does the rest of his customers

Tee sheet issues

The course is beautiful and well maintained. Be careful when booking a tee time. We were told that regardless of our tee time we had to wait for three groups from the men’s league to play ahead of us. They also did not have our tee time recorded correctly and members played ahead of us with no regard for explanation to visitors. When addressing the issue I was passed from the starter, to the pro shop staff, to the manager. Not a very pleasant or welcoming experience. I would recommend the course, but be aware of your timing.

Great experience

Awesome value. Fast and true greens. Friendly staff.

Pro shop was neat but lacked quality brands. Layout was perfect. Great challenge with landing zones that let you grip and rip.

Poston Butte

Great service at the front desk by Payton; on-course staff were very cordial.

Tboxes and greens were in terrific shape. Bunkers are well positioned and well maintained.

Cart was clean.

Nice Troon Course

Nice Troon courae off the beaten path in Florence AZ. Nice course and amenities but greens were not in the best shape surprisingly. Carts are older with no GPS. Would play again.

Poor bunkers and greens

For an upscale golf course, this was not what I expected. The first two greens were very fast. The fourth hole, a par 3, was very slow? After that, some fast, some slow (but not as slow as 4). Bunkers, same thing. Some had some sand, some not. Also, playing out of them was an adventure.
