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.

Must play!

I was in Scottsdale for my brothers 40th birthday and this was by far my favorite course I played! It's challenging, but fair without anything gimmicky. The checkin was seamless and Tyler was extremely welcoming in the clubhouse. He explained everything in detail and truly cared about me having a great time on the course. The scenery is amazing and the course is in excellent condition. The beverage girl came by frequently, carts were stocked with water and brand new gps. The holes were even painted white. Range and practice facility was awesome too. I'm a tough reviewer and couldn't find any faults with this place. They have put their money into the course and it shows. My advice is to take an extra club on uphill shots. If you are on the fence about driving out there it's a must play and I will definitely be back!!!

Great course ... no amenities

This is a really nice track and well worth playing. The course was in terrific condition and is set in some beautiful foothills ... lots of elevation changes. Don't be afraid to select a tee that matches a slope you are comfortable with, as its a challenging course. If you can hit the ball high, the greens will hold a shot. There are a number of approaches to elevated greens and not a lot of run-up options. Other than golf, there are virtually no amenities - just a tiny clubhouse with a limited menu snack bar & small outdoor patio. There is nothing else around for 40 mins in either direction ... not even a gas station. But the course is excellent and worth the drive..

One of the most stunning courses in the world, staffed by mean old men

I’m torn about writing this review because, on one hand, Quintero is an absolutely stunning place to play golf. I’ve played it a couple of times and its alway beatiful. On the other hand, the rangers and starter seemed to be resentful that we took the time to come play golf there. There are comfort stations, water and beverage carts on the course, but if you stop to use any of them, the rangers will immediately hound you to catch up. It seems their goal is not to make your round as enjoyable as possible, but as brief as possible.

Awesome Layout in Great Condition

Fantastic course that lives up to the hype. Great views and very interesting layout with lots of elevation change. Best course Ihave played during our two months in AZ. Highly recommend.

Only bummer was that the round took five hours. Way to slow.

Just Wow

This place is a bit of a hike from the Valley but man is it worth it! Amazing layout, great practice facilities and the conditions were top notch. They have the best par 3's out there. Huge elevation changes and all around fun.

Spectacular

Quintero was absolutely spectacular. We had an hour frost delay and everyone seemed to handle it well. The layout and course condition was amazing. I will be back. If you are in Phoenix area this is a must see place.

Beware of Quintero

I was very disappointed with Quintero Golf Club. Beware of their 48 hour cancellation provision. I booked a tee time two weeks in advance. On February 21st the weather in the Phoenix area was horrible. As I watched heavy rain and temperatures in the 30s turn to thunderstorms, hail and eventually snow, i determined that for the health and safety of a senior citizen that I would not be able to play, and assumed that the course would be closed as well. I called the course and they indicated that they were remaining open. Due to their 48 hour cancellation policy my credit card was charged for the full amount of the three tee times I had booked. Due to this policy, the course would be able to collect their money regardless of whether people played the course as long as they did not close the course. I respect the need to charge a cancellation fee for no shows or late cancellations, but there should be some leeway or discretion to allow common sense to come into play. I would recommend you avoid Quintero. Desirable tee times need to be booked weeks ahead of time and there is no way to safely predict the weather, resulting in the loss of hundreds of dollars.

Amazing

This is an amazing golf course with great desert and mountain views. It is fairly long and challenging but has many different tees. The fairways are like carpet but, some of the greens are a little chewed up. It's the best course you can find in the valley and definitely worth the drive!

A MUST play! Don’t leave Arizona without playing this course!

I’ve been to some great golf courses but Quintero is absolutely my favorite! It’s a short ride from Scottsdale but when you get there you know you’re in for an exciting day. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Practice facility is best in class. If you like golf course courses that look like a work of art this is it. Cactus and mountains/ hills surround the course. It is absolutely my favorite and it is challenging. There are many different teen boxes depending on your level of play. Take a camera with you, you’ll definitely treasure your picture for years to come. The greens are fast and challenging. They are as fast as the PGA tour! Test your skills and let your eyes take in the beauty. loved it!!!!

A True Gem

Quintero was an incredible experience top to bottom. Met by friendly staff upon arrival, warmed up on the fantastic practice facility, was allowed to tee off early and maintained a great pace all day. The course was in near perfect condition minus 2-3 wet spots from over watering which was nothing too serious. Loved how green everything was in contrast to the surroundings. Multiple different teeing decks to provide different levels of golfers different options. Provided sufficient challenge for myself, a professional, while remaining playable for my 12 handicap father. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and although it was a long drive we believed it was well worth it! 5 stars.

Some of the best greens I've played on

Greens were fast, they estimated 10.5-11, perhaps up to 12 if they sun came out. They were every bit of it!

Only downside to this stunning course:

- a few holes are boring/throwaways. Straight forward par 4s that add nothing.

- it gets a lot of play, and people aren't repairing their pitch marks/doing it wrong. Pock-faced greens

The good:

- Hard course off the tee if you don't have it on the day (which I didn't)

- Elevation changes

- Scenary

- Condition - not as good as WeKoPa, but the greens were "better". Quotations, as they were faster and rolled great (in general).

WeKoPa is a better course, but they don't roll the greens and compact them as much there (when we played) as they do at Quintero.

I can see why this place has its critics, but would 100% recommend to anyone. It is one of the best courses I've played on, and from the back tees certainly one of the most challenging.

Quintero Golf Club

This is a very nice course in pretty good shape right now Dec13.

Couple of the greens are a little patchy on the outside.

This course is a little drive out of town and I think it is overpriced.
