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.

Excellent course!

The layout and general condition of the course were both excellent! Some of the greens were a little bumpy/furry, but no other complaints.

Adventure on the greens

for this time of year the course is in EXCELLENT shape , the greens were a little slow due to over seeding but I expect they will get faster after aeration

Great Course

Great course. Great layout. Fairways were good. Greens were punched 2 weeks ago, so they were slow and bumpy. Pace of play was a little slow with the group ahead of us. Great staff. Will play it again after greens grow in.

Greens and fairways aerated no notification greens very slow and bumpy. Fairways hard to find greasy. Said to see one of my favorite courses in this type of shape.

Great course; garbage greens.

This course is an absolute gem, with a signature Island Green that’s pretty amazing. The staff is extremely friendly, and the encore amenities were really great: free range balls, super nice starter, etc.

Pace of play with stellar.

Unfortunately, at the time that I went to play, the greens were aerated and full of sand. Made it an absolutely horrible experience, with basically unplayable putting conditions.

aerating the greens

the course was in decent shape , but it would have been nice if they had let us know that they were aerating the course, putting was a REAL adventure .

Good but pace of play was a little slow.

We had a 9:12 tee time we were stopped at the cart exchange for a few minutes pulled up to tee #1 at 9:14 and there was already another group getting ready to tee off. We caught up with our group at hole #2 and there was another group in front of us that had not teed of yet. We were jammed between two groups and the pace was very slow. Course was nice but for the price there are better courses around the area.
