Quintero Golf Club

Quintero feels like it is out in the middle of nowhere, probably because there is truth to that. I'd heard good things about Quintero and finally got the chance to play. The course condition was impeccable. There was literally not a blade of grass out of place. The greens had been punched a few weeks previous, but it had no impact on playability, although we were warned that they were playing a bit slower than usual. They were still slippery and fast but putted beautifully.

If you can't drive it straight, bring a spare bag of balls because you may very well need them. Having said that, the fairways tend to have bunkers protecting the edges of the fairways in your landing zone, so that helps keep the white orb on the earth. The bunkers were in perfect condition and it is impossible to get a bad lie on the fairways. As other reviews point out, the par threes are really something, all playing from elevated tees to generous greens. Really beautiful. I played the par threes two under, only because I dropped a couple unlikely putts from way downtown.

Summer rates made it a bargain to play. I will definitely be going back for more!

This is the kind of course you save for a special day. The setting is spectacular, the course is a major challenge for all levels of player, and the fairways and greens are in superior condition despite this being the dead of summer here In Arizona. The par fours are a huge challenge as they are predominantly uphill. With each pushing 400 yards from the silver tees, every shot has to count. Each of the par 3s is a treat. Two involve elevated tees, two involve carrying over water and one is a stretch just to make you hit it pure. This is definitely one of my favorite courses here in Arizona despite being a course that has handed me my lunch on more than one occasion.

seriously great course, Staff is very snooty and manager Chad was worse. After explaining our issue, he decided rather than work to fix the problem it would be easier to deny me the general managers name the first 5 times i asked then decided it would be easier to tell me I am o longer welcome there and he was calling the police. I begged for him to do so but instead closed the door in my face. I'm 51 years old and have played golf most of my life and by far this was the worst experience I've had on a golf course. Do yourself and your friends a favor and skip playing this course

The course is in good shape for summer. The greens were recently aerated and are almost done healing up. A little bit longer and some water and they'll be fine. Most of the fairways were in very good shape although some of the fairways were wet. The worst one was the hole that goes up the hill. The ball hit the wet fairway and stopped dead. Made the hole a lot longer. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only comment I would make is to the maintenance crews. I realize you have to mow and I do appreciate that you will stop to let the golfers though, but if you are between the golfer and the target you are in the way. Please move to one side or the other.

The course is incredible. The par 3's in particular are stunning and the elevation changes and different views around the course are amazing. The food we had while playing was also great and the weather was fabulous. Only complaint was the overall interaction with the staff at the golf course. Upon arrival everything seemed a little rushed and they assumed you had been there before and knew the ropes. Not the friendliest in the world and then they sent you off on your 10 minute golf cart ride up the hill to the driving range. Overall a great day though and would encourage anyone willing to make the 45 minute drive north of Phoenix to do so and play this track.

Love this course, but I believe they owe me a rebate for all the balls I left there Lol

The staff was great, the course was the finest I’ve ever played.

Play it twice. Once you play it you’ll understand. Worth the drive from Scottsdale/ Phoenix area.

Best desert course for my money. Wish it were closer to home.

Gorgeous course but brutally tough. # 8/and 9 outstanding! No Gotta play smarter the next time!

I’ve played a lot of great public courses in the Phoenix area and this one doesn’t even make the top 10. Not sure how they got their “top rating“. . Here’s my pros and cons:

Pros - a few nice elevated par 3’s

- decent range and practice greens

Cons - takes about 10 minutes to drive your cart to the range and/or the first tee and carts are pretty slow and dated

- most fairways were pretty brown and not in great shape

- there were hundreds of flies all over the course, there must be livestock nearby because it was horrible

- ordered food and the girl came with no napkins and no change for cash

- the cart guy was really rude when I unintentionally tried to drive my cart to my car and snidely asked me why I didn’t see the small sign stating it wasn’t allowed

- the course was more like a Disney world course with roller coaster rides and long waits.
