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.

One of my favorite courses in Arizona

I have played here 6 or 7 times. It's a little bit out of the city but worth the drive. it has the best practice area I have seen in AZ. There are several high tees that drop off way down to the greens, beautiful views from every hole. One par 5 is long and uphill. It goes almost 90 degrees right and there is a huge wash on the right. I have seen many players think they could clear the tee shot to the fairway but almost all come up short in the wash. I Iove betting first time players they can't make it. You will not be disappointed if you play here.

Spectacular layout

Several people from the area told me that this would be the best course we were playing on our 6 day buddies trip and halfway through the trip they are correct. A spectacular layout in incredible condition led to a really enjoyable day. The one interesting thing is that the practice area is in the middle of the course, over a mile away from the clubhouse by cart. The facilities are nothing to write home about so if you want that post round beverage with an amazing view it won’t happen here. But if you’re here to play an amazing golf course this IS the place. The course was thick and lush and the greens were lightning fast, be sure to land your approach shots well short of the pins and let them feed to the holes. Lastly, everyone there was spectacular including Sydney in the restaurant and the starter who really laid out the round for us. The ride is not bad at all from Scottsdale and so worth the trip. Play this course.

The most beautiful course I have ever seen!

This really is the most beautiful course I have ever seen!, I have golfed all over the place and paid a lot more money than the regular price at Quintero, but this place is just more in every way! Tit is very challenging to say the least, there is NO hope if you go off the edge but the fairways are still quite generous. The traps are very deep but the greens and fairway grass is almost too perfect. I saw the on Golfholics and was taken with intrigue and when I got on the course the conditions were just unreal. It was cart path only when I played an that made it a workout, but it was worth it! The course is one knotch nicer than Rams Hill or Dove Mountain (just a little) rctwins.com

WOW!! nothing else to be said!! The only thing that could make it better besides if I was a better golfer, is that we could not drive on the course. Cart path only made the round more challenging

Well deserved ranking! Worth the price of admission!

There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe the fantastic experience of the round at Quintero! From the moment you enter, until the moment you leave, you are treated like a member. Course is in terrific shape and has some of the most scenic and coolest holes in the Phoenix area. The dogleg right, split fairway, par 5 8th hole is a wonderful hole. A must play course if visiting Phoenix/Scottsdale. Well worth the drive.

best in AZ

I saw this course on Golfholics and became very interested, The beauty of this course is staggering to say the least, I have golfed all over the US and This house wins in every way by far. All the people that we interacted with really made us feel welcome, A shot out to Jordan Ring, what a great person to say the least, Quintero should be proud to have him!

Nice Experience

This was my second time playing. First time I played was in late August for my birthday and I happened to play for $39. This last time I played we got a GN deal for $55 and the rate for everyone else was $109. So we were happy already.

Staff is excellent, pace of play was on point and the overall setup is for golfers. The course layout is well done, but very challenging. We played on the last day before they overseeded and the course was still in very good shape considering their plan. You could tell on the greens that ball marks were no longer consistently being repaired. Nonetheless the balls rolled true and the greens were fast. The staff really goes out of their way to make sure you have a good experience at this course. Both times when I played they were consistent on this point. The August experience was a little better as it was my first time and the conditions of the course were a little better. I would go again if possible. Definitely a top course in the Phoenix area.

Great Condition/Poor Value

Enjoyed the course as it was in very good condition and because the par 3's are very scenic. My hesitation in recommending it is due to its high cost (for golf and food/drink) in relation to many others that are lower and closer and its temporary facilities. They could also improve the signage (got lost a couple of times). If they had good facilities and were reasonable in costs, it would be a 5 star for sure.
