Course Highlights
Quintero's dramatic elevation changes and uniquely designed holes make it one of Arizona's most celebrated layouts. Welcoming staff and well-maintained conditions consistently reward golfers who make the scenic drive out.

Style Desert/Traditional

Length 7249 yards
Slope 148
Rating 75.3

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.

A gem in the middle of nowhere!

A must play course! Everything about Quintero is exceptional, starting with Mike in the pro shop,Cade the starter and the course itself. The greens were not in the best conditions due to players not fixing their ball marks. Other than that the course is in perfect condition. Very scenic, a very nice layout and every hole challenging. A real treat that is worth the time and the drive.

Got to play it!

Played for the first time with my wife.it was a beautiful track. Course is located in the middle of nowhere so it was a peaceful experience. Par 3s are very challenging because of elevation changes. Par 4s and 5's are very fair and greens are receptive. I would say troon north is more intimidating. Plenty of tee box options as well.

Never felt so unwelcome after spending so much

Don’t waste your money here, they don’t deserve it. There’s plenty of other great Troon properties that work hard at making paying customers feel special and have enjoyable experiences- try those. I showed up as a single joining a two-some booked through the app. Knowing we were 3 I brought my non golfing wife along to enjoy the views. Even though WE WERE A 3 BALL the course enforced the rider cart fee of $45 on top of a $210 round! Like I get it if I’m taking an extra cart or something but again, we were 3 players so still 2 carts out. Alright so no big deal I think and pay the fee. After the round (around 4:30 pm) I decide to jump over to the chipping green to work for 10 minutes since I chipped poorly during the round. There’s plenty of other carts still out so I figure I’m not holding anyone up at the cart barn or bothering anyone since I’m using my own balls but the “assistant pro” comes out to tell me I’m not allowed to chip after the round without paying for a $25 range pass. So after I’ve already paid $215 in greens fees, $45 for the “rider” and over $100 for food and beers during the round, apparently they still didn’t have enough of my money. I get that my round was over but where has customer service gone? I went into the pro shop to ask if it was really necessary for him to treat paying customers that way and the same jerk employee asked if I wanted to “take it outside the pro shop” but I told him I wasn’t looking for a physical confrontation and just went home. I won’t be coming back to Quintero and recommend you don’t either.

I also had a bad experience with customer service, also related to golf carts. I was playing as a single and with my health issues I have to take Covid more seriously. The website says to call ahead to check for single rider availability and was told I would probably be fine. I arrived early to be extra sure and was given my own cart no problem. Minutes before tee off they drop off another single into my cart and tell me they have too many people on course - also that "management changed the policy yesterday". But behind us was a single and behind him was a threesome in 2 carts.

Your post confirmed my impression that management is really shady. The regular employees are okay but not particularly friendly either.

Top 5 Course!!!

Words cant really describe how great this course is. You have to golf it to really take in the amazing holes, views, and staff. The greens are really fast, but true. If you are expecting an easy round, don't go. This course can take you to your knees, but I will take that challenge! We easily payed for a re-play after our first 18 and finished up on the 16th Par three in pitch dark. LOL!

Great Course

Don’t know where to start. The course is beautiful. I golfed the Boulders and Troon North the week before. Quintero is top notch. The staff were great. I needed a putter to use for the round. No problem. I really like the German guy in the pro shop. The course has a great layout. Tough but fair if you play smart. Every hole was different. If you get a chance to golf this go for it you will not be disappointed. In my top three courses in Phoenix.

Worth every penny, but maybe not right after overseeding

The views alone, especially from all four par 3s, are worth the price of admission alone. Every single staff member couldn't have been nicer, especially Denny from Germany who was the starter that day. The course was like lush green carpet carved out between desert hills (I'm from Colorado, so they are most certainly not mountains... :) The multiple tees (5-6) could make the course as long or as short as you like. All four par 3s had dramatic down hill shots. The course had other significant elevation changes as well and offered "take your breath" moments frequently. Complimentary range balls and a true rolling putting green were great for warm up. The only down side is that although they completed over-seeding a couple weeks back, the fairways were a bit fuzzy that day which made some shots in the middle of the fairway make you feel like you were playing from light rough. Also, the greens were not in good shape....a lot of sand and did not roll very well. Unless you are coming from the northwest valley, plan a significant drive time to get to the course. However, if I could play there again at any time of year including October, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Great Layout!

This course has a great layout with amazing views! Fairways are decently wide, make sure you stay in them though or you will he paying the price. I played the combos gold and tips and didn’t find it too difficult in terms of length. All the par 3’s are pretty long but all but 1 are from super elevated tee boxes. I played as a single on a Monday morning 8am tee time and only passed 1 group in front of me. Only complaint is that some parts of the fringes on almost every green has bare dirt/browning on them. Didn’t bother me too much, would still highly recommend and will be back to play when in the Phoenix area!

Great Course in the middle of nowhere!

This course is really good. Lots of fun to play.....challenging but fair. Good chances for birdies but you have to control your ball as it's a typical target golf course in the desert. The practice range is perfect. For those of you who appreciate a good quality practice facility, this place has it! The grass is perfect. You can beat balls for hours and barely feel any impact on your joints because the grass is so nice. Views are great for every hole. Dramatic drop offs on several par 3's from all of the tee boxes. Hard to believe the course is celebrating it's 20th year as there are only 6 homes on the course and there's still no permanent clubhouse. But I'm going to keep taking advantage of this hidden gem every time I'm in Phoenix until development eventually catches up and this place goes private.

Sunday Funday!

I have e been playing several course in The Phoenix area. Raven, Talking Stick, Aguila, Lonetree, Las Sendas, Trilogy and notices that my handicap has gone way down. I chose to play Quintero today because this course will bring you back to reality quick!

The fairways and fast greens are in great condition. Today was the first day open after overseed and things are looking good. There is still some work to do around the fringes as I noticed several areas in poor condition. The bunker play was terrible! I never noticed before but the sand was large grain and since it was being heavily watered, wet too.

The price was a little high for most players but I did not mind. Overall my experience was good and I was not let down. Quintero will test you game from the gold black combo.

Have fun!

True Desert Golf Experience

From the helpful staff who were welcoming and really wanted us to enjoy this experience to the max. Practice area good. Not a large putting area but is definitely reflective of the green speed. Layout diverse and some beautiful backdrops. Yep, super challenging...just makes us want to come back!
