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.

Course in great shape
I've been playing at Poston Butte for the past 4 years. Course is always in great shape. It's a challenging course, espcially around the greens. I rarely shot under my handicap. This Sunday I was finally able to put my game together for 18 holes; that was fun. I just hope they don't keep hiking up the price to a point that I cannot afford tp play there any longer.
Best value for the money $$
1:20 tee time. Great deal on Golf Pass. Free range balls day 👍. Very nice practice facilities and restaurant. Pace of play was perfect, even though there wasn’t a Marshall out. Nicest fairways I’ve played since visiting this year. Challenging traps and greens. Overall layout is fair for an intermediate golfer. We will be back for another round 😊.
Slow play, inconsistent greens
Can't believe they do not have a marshal on the course. On the carts they have a sign that it should take 4 hrs and 5 minutes for a round - add an hour to that. Greens are slow on the front nine and fast on the back nine??? This course is not what it used to be. Because it was so slow, we did not finish the round because of rain - only got 15 holes in. Went to discuss this with the staff - no one there - 5:20.
Is this still a Troon course?
Greeen spaces were good, but the traps hadn't seen attention for days at least. Water erosion , hard bottoms, and wet (before it rained). Pace of play was terrible and no Marshall on the course. We would have finished the round easily before it started raining if we would have been even close to their '4:07' target time. No one to complain to at the end of the round either. The pro shop was locked up welll before dark. For the price these guys charge it should be a lot better.
Overall great day
Fun day at Poston. Overall excellent course conditions, and surprisingly pace of play was good for late Saturday. Really nice range is a plus. I've played here multiple times over the years and honestly I don't think the staff is very friendly. Just my opinion.
Little more brown than expected
Thats it. Bit more scalped brown grass to the point of dry dirt than expected
Course is in fantastic condition, greens are fast and challenging
Love it
Live this course. From the greeters taking our bags from the car, the starter and the pro shop personnel.. all fabulous and super friendly.
Course in great shape.
Our tee time was 2:08. Employee came around to tell us that the carts needed to be back at 6:00. We were on hole 15 at 5:42. We laid fir 28 holes do we felt we should get as many in as we could before dark. Groups ahead and behind us thought the same do we kept playing.
We got it in!!! Little dark on the 18 thgreen but we were thrilled we made it. The cart guy was still in the The shop cleaning carts. We felt we were fine.
No one told us that we couldn’t play until dark.
That is the only complaint I have.
Everything else at this course is top notch!!!
Great course for the money
We enjoyed the course. Very playable. Staff friendly. Not tight up to the houses.
Will return
