Located in the desert just north of Phoenix and Scottsdale, the golf course at Quintero Golf Club is a challenge but with up to as many as nine tees per hole, it can accommodate golfers of all different abilities and handicaps. The rolling, desert terrain of the course features dramatic elevation changes for interesting play. The golf course's design has wide fairways and plenty of water hazards and sand bunkers. The most difficult hole is the par-5 8th hole, which plays uphill with three large bunkers alongside the right side of the lay-up area. Another difficult but noteworthy hole is Quintero Golf Club's third, which has a scenic lake to the left that sometimes tricks golfers into playing close to it with their tee shot for an easier second shot to the green.

Greens / bunkers need some attention

Overall track is in great shape with exception of greens and bunkers.

For the top dollar rack rate they are asking the greens are in poor condition compared to others in the area. Lots of dead spots and weak growth dead spot areas. I think they are a different type of grass to those in Scottsdale which may be the problem. Did not seem to affect putts much but visually very disappointing.

Bunkers need some serious maintenance. Grass growing in several bunkers.

Nice course

The course was in great condition. The pace of play was very slow. You have individuals looking for their ball 8 to 10 minutes. Ordered fruit from the restaurant, my sandwich was OK. The bread was old and stale. overall was a good condition.

Unique course. Love the elevation change and narrow fairways. Very challenging greens. Beautiful landscapes. Not much for club house. Hopefully they will be building something in the coming years.

Stay away or BYOS

Huge disappointment! The greens are rock hard and many of the traps are more like gravel pits - if you are looking to waste $400 Bring Your Own Sand! Don’t get sucked into paying this inflated price until they complete the renovation. Too many other great courses in the area.

One of the best in town

This course is one of my favorites in Scottsdale/Phoenix area. Fairways are reasonably wide with strategic placed bunkers throughout the course. The rough is green and plush, which is rare to find in Arizona. The course layout is epic, with elevation change on every hole and spectacular views. Most of the greens are surrounded by well placed bunkers. The greens are firm and fast. Accuracy off the tee is a big plus here, otherwise you will have a tough day.

Only one complaint, this year the bunkers were awful. They desperately need more new sand in all the bunkers…Especially the green side bunkers. They were almost unplayable.

Horrible pace of play

Worst pace of play in 25+ years of playing golf. We stopped in the pro shop after 4 holes to tell them how slow the course was. They said they were "working" on it...

We quit after only playing 6 holes in 2hrs.

Great time, nice people!

Enjoyed a fun round paired up with a nice group from the midwest. The course is tuff; bring an extra sleeve or two. Free practice range, pace was a little slow but several 200yd par 3's from elevation make for a fun time. Plenty of refreshments, mountain, wildlife views, and yes dueling donkeys, what more can you ask for?

A Very Memorable Course!! Excellent!!

We have been golfing in the Phoenix Area a few times a year for the last 15 years and compared to a lot of the dried out courses in the phoenix, the Quintero Course was a pleasant surprise. Every hole is Different and Challenging with bright green fairways and scenic elevation changes and wildlife. The course plays slower naturally, so you need 5 hrs but well well worth the drive.

Great mountain course but pace of play could be better.

Great mountain course but pace of play could be better. Bunkers lacking sand but all bunkers will be getting new sand January 2025. Still great fun challenging course!

A bit overrated

Great experience if you've never played it. But $1k for a foursome is a bit much for the course condition this time of year. Greens are an 11, but so is concrete.

There was quite a bit of brown grass, missing grass, and overwatered/muddy areas on the course overall.

Staff, drinks and food was great. However, we were under quoted and overcharged for taxes. We were quoted $53 by Golf Now, but charged $117 @ registration.

WEKOPA and Dino Mountain are right there with it, for about 40% less money.

Not a bad review, just pointing out items we shouldn't be seeing for a $1k round of golf.

Great layout and staff is amazing

Second time playing this course - layout is very fun with lots of elevation change. Greens roll very nicely. Bunkers are getting very close to needing an overhaul as there is very little sand in most.

Added bonus is seeing the wildlife…we had a wild donkey hanging out with us on a few holes

Overall, this course is a must play on the area!

Amazing Round

Incredible layout with breathtaking views, crazy elevation changes and wildlife everywhere. Fairways and tee boxes were immaculate and the greens were some of the truest rolling I've seen in the Phoenix area. Definitely worth the drive, should play at least once.
