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.

THE 3 AMIGOS---ONE HEADING BACK TO THE GREAT WHITE NORTH TONITE--17TH HOLE --WE ALL HIT THE GREEN Photo submitted by uWYZB8651WY on 11/24/2012
Awesome course and in great shape. Staff is super friendly. Well laid out course, and challenging.
Good shape
Overall the course is in really good shape, the greens were definitely a little slow and grainy while the cups probably hadn’t been changed in 3-4 days. There was nothing that was so bad that I would keep me from playing again.
Thanks for the feed back. Appreciate you driving up from Tucson to play! Hope to see you again before we shut down for overseed on Oct 3.
A great experience!
We golf at a lot of different courses, and this course is really a great value, at least in the off season. Worth the drive from Gold Canyon! We have some nice courses in Gold Canyon, but staff really could learn how to treat a customer. Poston Butte is great! So clean and well kept, nice staff. We enjoyed the clubhouse as well.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the course. Hope to see you again before we close down for overseed on Oct 3.
Beautiful course, always windy
The course is very challenging and very beautiful, but it is always windy
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed the golf course. We do get a little wind here, which makes playing a little more of a challenge. Hope to see you again before we shut down for overseed on Oct 3.
It’s been kept in good shape this summer
Everything was very playable. Staff is on the ball.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the course and will pass on to the staff your positive comments. Hope to see you again before we shut down for overseed on Oct 3.
Great Course
Great Course. Good time had.
Only problem, group in front was SLOW. Could have completed round 45 minutes earlier.
No Ranger seen.
Endless Joke
This could rank as one of the worst experiences we’ve had. We show up 25 minutes prior to the tee time and the Marshalls watch time was off and pushed us behind a tee time. This generally isn’t a big deal other than the fact not on golf now, in the pro shop, or any signage indicating that in fact there was a tournament. Tensions further amplified when the scummy group behind us mouthed off like the drunk clowns they were on the tee box. IT TOOK 1 HOUR TO PLAY 3 HOLES. Nightmare, left after 9. I wouldn’t go back to that classless “okay” course if it was free. What a joke.
First Timers
First time here for us four ladies. Yes, it is quite a drive, but well worth the effort to get here. Course was in great shape with nice wide fairways. Good value for this layout. The only complaint we had was when we were done & turned in our carts. It was on the far end of the clubhouse and the parking lot was on the far other end. Not a big deal, but inconvenient after a round in the AZ summer heat.
Horrible experience
The fairways were decent but the greens were very bumpy due to being punched. The customer service was just awful. It was the worst experience I had. The rules they have there are beyond ridiculous. I drove 31 miles to play this course but only to get told off by the rude starter. Don't ever bring a rider, they won't let you ride on their greens, even when its scorching hot out and all the golf rep could say is drink water. So now I had to walk all the way to my golfball. It's a good thing I most my balls straight down but it's still ridiculous. If the accommodate me, I may be back. Starter guy needs to be fired!!
Great layout
A most enjoyable day playing Poston
The greens had just recently been punched so a little bumpy but are in great condition
It was certainly worth the drive from Chandler
Beautiful course...summer conditions!
This is a really fun, challenging layout. Played REALLY LONG with the soft, wet conditions. Greens had been punched and sanded 2 weeks prior so were still super slow, but should be great when they grow in. Played on a Sunday morning and finished in under 4 hours! Great day!
Punched greens, no warning
Love this course and it’s 100% worth the drive from the East Gilbert/Mesa area. Love how range balls are included at all troon facilities, it’s really a nice touch. Nice practice areas, but dang it the greens were punched and heavily sanded on Monday, and by our tee time on Friday it was still a mess, no real chance of actually putting them, just pop it and hope it bounces somewhere close to the hole. We wouldn’t have come down if we knew the greens were recently aerated(again) so not sure if it’s teeoff or the course dropping the ball on notifications to the players/customers.
Appreciate the comment. I will be sure to pass along to our staff to keep up the good work. Glad you enjoyed the golf course. Hope to see you again before we close for overseed on Oct 3!
