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.

Nice course in the middle of nowhere

I like this course. Too bad its about an hour from chandler. Course had just opened up a=father over seeding, so it was cart paths only. Price was reasonable and fairways were in good shape, although as typical for so soon after overseeing, very wet early in the AM when i played. Greens had been verti-cut and were a bit slow also, coming out of over seeding. Still a really good course, an excellent value and a great time.

A distant gem!

Although I live in Tucson and its an hour and 30 minute drive, I visit Poston Butte multiple times each year because it’s a beautiful course, great challenge and friendly staff.

Bring Bug Spray!

Mosquitos were so bad we came in off #5 and went to the grocery store to buy bug spray. Pro shop did not have any and didn’t warn us about how bad it was. Multiple other groups came in as well. Otherwise it’s a nicely maintained course and semi challenging. Likely won’t return, given location.

Worth the drive

Staff friendly, course in very good shape. Only issue was for some reason they did not pair up any twosomes or singles. Back 9 slowed considerably due to this.

Excellent for all skill levels

This course is a great layout. It plays well for all levels of golfers based on the available tees. Fairways are wide but with well placed bunkers. It offers all the shots during the course of the game with long par 4's that require long iron shots,, from a drive-able par 4, to a short island green par 3. The range and practice area are top notch. I've played this course 6 times, at all times of the year, and the course condition is always great. Level tee boxes and very well kept greens. We played just a few weeks after the greens were punched, and they were already playable.
