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
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.
Members Only
Starter made a point that walk-ons and newbies not welcome! We all know that regulars and members make or break a GC. No need to be rude or just make the course members only.
Great value compared to other area courses. Always enjoyable.
Greens are dead
Great staff and typically great course. The greens are dead. Not too sure what happened but would avoid until fixed. Like the entire green on every hole is gone. Dead.
Greens suck
Can't believe Troon lets this happen, grainy crap greens, reminds me of a worn out mini-golf place, try to misread as best chance of making a putt, some super should be fired, I'd play in a hay field if the greens are good, on positive side, nice layout and fairways/bunkers in good shape, can't believe I drove (should have flown) out this far for this
Greens a bit grainy, but overall a great track. Highly recommend.
Nice
I have played here a few times over the years. The course is usually in nice condition, but this time I was a little dissapointed in the greens. They were extremely dry, hard, and fast. Like putting on concrete. The fairways were nice and green.
I got a HOT DEAL, so only paid $65. It is unfortunate that they are normally in the $125-$150 range during peak season, and only book a week in advance. I'd play more frequently in the $75-$100 range.
Painted greens
I played this course about a month ago, some of the greens were painted and the fairways were a little patchy. Fairways now are good and greens are all painted
Great Condition
It’s has been years since I have played fairways that were in that great of shape! 👍
They were perfect. Like hitting off a Tee
Nice track, but….
This is a beautiful course with fantastic fairways and a fair layout. Bunkers actually have sand, unlike a lot of Arizona courses. The problem with the course is the tiffdwarf grass on the greens which were mowed exceedingly short. Amatuers just can’t manage how fast these greens are. It slows play tremendously. If you have a downhill putt, good luck keeping it on the green. It just doesn’t make sense for amateur golf. It’s very frustrating, to say the least.
Fairways in awesome shape. Greens fast, super fast. Not very green tho.
Pace of play great even with cart path only
Course not very wet except for hole 16.
Don’t understand why cart path only.
Great course. My favourite in the area

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.
