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 only thing we did not like the greens were way to fast and they did not look good either. Talking to one of the staff members they were saying the overseed did not take well to the greens. Hope this can be fixed soon or it will hurt your business!

Great track

Kudos to Troon for keeping this place in great shape. It was a blast to play. I would say the course is challenging but very fair. No problem locating errant tee shots that miss the fairway and all hazzards are visible from the tee boxes and fairways. I wouldn't pay $100 to play this course but it's well worth it at $75 or under.

Excellent design

The course is excellent design, fun to play. Fairways are wide and easy to hit with bunkers placed strategically. to temp you to play dangerous. Greens are challenging to read and will test your putting.

Nice course!

Course was in good condition. Lots of bunkers to find. Challenging course. No ranger seen to see how things were going! Need to be able to drop off clubs closer to parking lot when done. Have to carrying them too far.

Good layout but tight lies and very difficult greens

Ball doesn't sit up on fairways and they were a little damp. Wet, tight lies. Greens seemed to be dormant and packed, crazy fast.

A Real Nice Course for All Handicaps

Staff and Starter kept everyone on-time. Fairways wide and rolling, with wide, clean and open pebble side boarders. Greens rolling, at a doable stimp, and true.
