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.

slow play
Had to quit after 16 holes as we were out there 4 hours and 45 minutes at that point. Between 17 tee a par 3 and18 tee there were 5 groups stacked up, A Marshall had come up and drove the back nine and did say a word to us as he drove by. Not a course that should play this slow.
The pace of play was really slow. It took us 5 hours to play 18 holes.
Thanks for the feed back. Not usually an issue down here. We will do our best to keep a closer eye on this in the future. Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks for your comments. We apologize for the slow play and will use your comments as a training opportunity.
Clown show from the start.
It all started the second I arrived for an 11:52 starting time I paid and was being brought to join the 3some I was paired with no one could find them. The started then informed me I had missed my time at 11:52 it was 11:35 at that rime he sent the 11:52 out at 11:25 and he offered to run me out to the second or third hole, I said no I am on time I am going at 11:52 to which I was told was no longer possible and they would work me in, I Ended up getting outat 12:10 because a 4 some lost its 4th otherwise my option was 1:04. So I booked a time and the starter decided it was his job to let others go early and let me sit and wait, they refunded my money but it is an hour drive out and back for a 5 hour round, empty water coolers and no ranger to keep pace moving I wont go back out there.
Hi themurph86, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We will use your feedback for a training opportunity to better our guest experience. In speaking with my team, they took responsibility and will get better. Prior to you teeing off our Assistant Golf Professional took care of your round of golf for the day due to us not meeting your expectations. Please reach out to me at jwright@troon.com if there is anything more we can do. Thanks
Great place to play
Friendly staff.
Great course.
Highly recommend it
We appreciate your comments. We will pass them along to our staff. Hope to see you again real soon.
Slow Play
There was a Foursome two groups ahead of us that were just clowning around and lacked situational awareness of golfers stacking up behind them at the tee box. There was no Ranger riding the course to tell them to pick up the pace. Other than than great course. I’ve played there many times.
Great course. Great service!
Nice course. The employees all went above and beyond.
We will be sure to pass on the comments. Thanks for playing!
Course and amenities very good. Always fun to play.
Thanks for taking the time to fill out our survey. Glad you liked the course. Hope to see you back soon. Thanks
Great Sunday fun but keep the restaurant open past 3 pm
Always enjoy the course here, always in great condition. It's a great value and if the grill and bar would stay open on a beautiful Sunday afternoon it would only enhance the experience.
Course could use a range that keeps pace of play up but that's, seemingly, everywhere.
We started at 11:30 and it was a 4 1/2 hour round which is too long.
Appreciate the feedback. Sorry about the Grille not being open for you. We will resume regular hours after overseed. Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks!
Greens are recovering nicely from punching
But overseed to start soon, still a very nice course to play.
Appreciate your comments. Glad you enjoyed the course. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks
Course was good but the tees we’re un-mowed and many times very difficult to play from.
Appreciate the feedback on the course. Hope we see you again before we close for overseed on October 3rd.
First time playing at Poston Butte
Our threesome were all playing the course for the first time. We teed off on time and finished in just under 4 hours. The course was in quite good shape for this time of year and the mountain views from the course were great. Our green fees included our carts as well as practice balls so the fee was very affordable. We all agreed that we would come back in the future to this course. If there was anything less-than-ideal for our 18 holes, it was that some of the bunkers had very little soft sand, so it was challenging to get under the ball in certain instances. Note - I did not rate the off course amenities because we did not sample any of them.
Thanks for playing Poston Butte. We appreciate your feedback on the course. Hope we see you again soon. We close October 3rd for overseed. Cheers!
Thank you for the feedback. We will definitely use it as a training opportunity and get better. Hope to see you again soon!
