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
Course is going downhill
Greens appeared to be painted, appear to be taking shortcuts with the greens
Starter
There is no PA system announcing what group is on the tee or on deck and the starter doesn’t let any group know. Frustrating.
Nice course even nicer staff
Jim was super accommodating. Will be coming back and look forward to the greens developing into spring.
Pace of play
I have played this course many times and pace of play is never a good experience. We played on a Saturday. In the group ahead of us was a new golfer. On the 1st hole she whiffed the ball at least 25 times. Behind us was a man with small kids. One of the kids hit into us on the 1st hole as we were leaving the green.
green complexes in some cases (no. 3) are too small for the length of hole. A lot of the holes looked and played the sam.e
Greens were in bad shape
The greens were nearly bare, hard, very quick. Surprised as this course is usually in great condition.
Great course but slow
Great course but slow Course was backed up with 5.5 hour round.
Poston butte Dec 1
Great course only problem was the sand traps. They are very hard. Can’t get under the ball.
Overall excellent
The course is in excellent condition. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in great condition. The staff is very friendly and professional. Nobody wants to spend a hundred bucks to play golf but it is winter rates and this course is in better shape than other valley courses charging the same or more.
