Rating 73.8

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.

Love the layout. Fun track

I’ve played most of the public/daily fee courses around and if Poston Butte was closer, I would play it regularly. Not overdone in any way, but excellent facilities for warmup, and practice. Staff very courteous. My only issue was with the greens. Obviously in transition, however, super bumpy.p, like the sand the applied was very coarse. Also. It had been days since the holes had been recut, ragged edges are a great indicator.

I’ll revisit soon and give it another shot because I really liked the course.

Greens in need of repair

Poston has been one of my go to courses in the valley however the greens are very poor recently. Bumpy dry very poor to play and below Troon standards. Hope to see improvement soon.

Wouldn't recommend at this time. Everything about course condition was great, except the greens and holes were not cut clean at all.

Worst I’ve seen these greens ever

Playing here past 6 yrs. I e never had complaints. It’s always been exceptional conditions and staff etc. sadly that’s no longer true. The greens are trash now. Worse than summer conditions and not even May yet!! I won’t go back til I hear huge improvements but be warned its currently horrendous in the greens.

Playing with family

Our golf was wonderful! Even though one of our guys got sick the morning of golf and couldn’t play, the other three of us had a great time.

How would you like to play in almost 5 hours (4 hrs 50 min)

Time and time I fill out these surveys but I’m sure it transfers to DEAF ears. Greens are very dried out and very bumpy. Like I stated before in this survey even Rory wouldn’t be able to get the ball to stick on the green.

Poor Greens

I have played Poston Butte multiple times over the last 5 years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The warm Up facilities were in good condition except the putting green. The t blocks and the fairways were in great shape. Like many courses since Covid the bunkers are in poor shape which was not the surprise. The greens were in bad shape. It was impossible to know where the ball was going. The greens were uneven and bumpy. I have always told my golfing friends this is a course they need to play. I’ll be holding back on recommendations. Hope they resolve the poor greens .

Course Management and Greens

Hello, the last few times we golfed here the pin placements are ridiculous and the greens are very dried out. The pin placements are so ridiculous when you put it up to the cup it’s about an inch from the cup and then veers 7 inches away and down the crest of the slope. I don’t think even Rory McIlroy or Scottie Scheffler could stick it on the green they are so hard. The staff inside the pro shop have never been friendly for years, they need some attention. People have complained time and time again but it’s quite obvious Troon doesn’t care. Also there is never a Marshall on and play is slow oh well. Very disappointed in this course.

Feels like a Private Club

Good course with great layout. Gives the vibes of a private club. Pretty easy with the exception of the longer par 3’s. Condition of the whole course was great except for the greens; grass was dead, bumpy and unreadable.

Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers in great condition. The greens were in poor condition. Cut short, no roll, dormant grass. Ball fizzes and zig-zags on slower putts close to hole. Not good.

The fairways and tee boxes here were immaculate. Unfortunately, the greens were in the process of being over seeded so the greens were a bit bumpy, but otherwise we’re in excellent condition especially considering the time of year. Jaime in the pro shop was extremely friendly and helpful as were all the staff. 10/10 will be a course we return to on our next AZ trip.

Greens being over seeded? Sorry, they don't overseed in the spring. Also, Poston Butte doesn't overseed their greens. The grass is in dormancy.
