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.

Escape the honey-do list

I escaped the honey-do list and snuck out for a quick round. The starter was very helpful in pointing out some ways to make the round better - but I can't execute that well! Haha! Played black tee boxes and finished shooting an 81. Was happy with the round for a first time effort! Range in great shape, course overall in really good shape. I liked that the homes that line the course are all well off the fairway, giving the course a more open feel

Greens :(

The greens were dry and bumpy. Probably explains why there was not many people out to play.

The island green was very cool! Layout of course was great too.

All in all it was a great experience except for the greens. Super hard, bumpy, way to fast. I put that in my course survey.

Great Layout, Greens were AWFUL

The fairways and rough were in great shape. The green were absolutely AWFUL. Bare dirt, bumpy like a country road and hard as a rock. You could not get a true putt with these conditions. They should make note of this before booking. Having played Whirlwind 2 days prior and having played Poston Butte many times in the past, the greens were extremely disappointing and made a great layout frustrating and wished we’d have booked almost anywhere else.

Poston Butte

Greens were a bit dry, firm, and bumpy. Pace was almost 5 hours, but I still love this course.

VERY DISAPPOINTED

Prior to the Pandemic our golf group from Saddlebrooke played the course several times.We were always impressed about the conditioning of the course; however, our recent play was completely the opposite. Hard fairways, greens that appeared to have no maintenance--bumpy, hard and lack of grass and a dull green color. Because of the conditioning of the course, a proper green fee would be around $60. Whoever the maintenance contract is with

should be fired.

Greens were the worst I've played. Think.... Putting on 80s shag carpet. Fairways were terrible. This would be a great course to bring your dogs to so they could run around while you play as long as it was free.

Fairways great, greens terrible

Greens had very little grass and very bumpy

disappointing for $105. Fairways and greens were great and staff was nice as always. It might be the transition phase, but not worth $105

What happened to the greens?

Arrived at the course and noticed on the drive in that the greens looked different almost like they were punched. Went to the practice green and couldn’t believe it. The practice green looked like it was scolded. Nothing but dirt and painted. They were rough and bumpy. Asked the starter if all the greens were like that and he replied no that the greens roller was broken down and waiting on parts.

Long story short all the greens look horrible and almost like bare dirt that was painted. Usually these greens are just that green and very nice. So not sure what happened.

Staff was friendly even if the starter lied about the conditions of the greens. Pace of play was a little over 4 hours and that’s not bad but the course wasn’t busy and pace should have been much faster.

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.

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.
