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.

Great course..expensive, few tee times available

Love playing Poston Butte. Due to the booming housing market I'm guessing the members are the ones taking up all the tee times more than 7 days in advance. I was only able to secure one tee time 7 days prior (7a for a single) or chance running out of daylight taking a tee time less than 3.5 hrs before sundown. I had 3 others that wanted to join me but to pay $100 for 13-15 holes is not worth it so they backed out and I grabbed the early single. If the rate continues to increase every year this might not be a course in my rotation coming from Mn.

Good value for a round of golf in Phoenix this year.

Course was enjoyable, played hard on a very windy day. Club house and food great. Practice facility was ok. Friendly staff. Worth the money.

Well conditioned course

Poston is a regular course for me to play. Conditions for the course are very good. Excellent practice area and very friendly and helpful staff! Greens are fast, which is great. Price at this time is a bit too high but that’s true at this time of year all over the valley.

Great course

Had a great time golfing here. Greens are super challenging but balanced by wide open fairways and desert that you can actually find your ball in . Staff are very helpful and facilities are first rate.

Great Value

Great course for the price. The tee boxes are a little hairy, the greens too firm and the pin placements very difficult. With that said, for the money, it’s a great course and I’ll definitely be back.

Troon the symbol of Excellence !!!!!!

Excellent in every way then again when Troon manages your course It will always be great.

Maybe something other courses should learn to do.

know one minds paying a higher fee with a great course.

Pace of play a bit off.
