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.

Length 7249 yards

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.

Great Renovation; Slow Play

Wonderful job renovating the bunkers. Greens rolling OK and still growing in.

Teed off on time at 8:22. It took us 2:20 to play the first 7 holes. On the 8th tee, we found that the group ahead had not teed off. Apparently they spent an extended amount of time with the beverage cart. We called the Clubhouse (there is no direct means to do this - you have to call the reservations center and have them transfer you to the clubhouse). They promised to deal with the situation - and they did to some extent - such that we played a 5 hour round. It would have been worse otherwise.

Friends had played the prior week and they also experienced extended waits between shots. It’s a wonderful course. Just know that you’re going to make an entire day of it…..

This is my favorite course in AZ.

Although we did get rained out, I love this course. The staff is amazing! I will definitely be back whenever I'm in town. Thank you for everything!

Arizona Golf

Beautiful and difficult layout with quite a bit of elevation changes

Conditions were pretty good considering they just re-opened one week ago or so (cart path only)

Only negative was their new greens which were quite fast but very bumpy

worth the drive none the less

Again.. Slow Play

This was our second time playing here, the difference was night and day. First time was a 7:15am tee time through Troon. Playing 4 1/2 hrs, seen the players assistant at least 6 times. This time say the players assistant on hole 3 and they disappeared, after 3:20 and standing on the 11th tee box 3rd foursome in line I called in. Finally about an hour later a different players assistant came to apologize stating there was a slow group. I don’t understand these fancy golf courses that want to cater to those that get drunk to thr gills and then play in 6 1/2 hrs. Nice golf course.. zero service, unless you want to get hammered

Luv Quintero, but need a marshall.

Love playing Quintero, never disappoints. One thing I did notice when standing on the first tee box was that the fairways were a little browner than normal, probably due to the transitioning to Bermuda grass. Still an outstanding round, front nine is more scoreable than the back nine. Need to make sure placement of shots, or else you will be doing lots of desert laterals.

Greens were hard and firm and running at about a 12 or 13, so the group in front of us was having a lot of trouble, seemed to spend a lot of time on the greens . Would have been good to have a marshall out, as what should’ve been a four hour and 10 minute round, stretched out to 445. Group in front was at least a hole and a half behind on the back nine. Sure they may had fun, but when you had to wait for every shot, and you could see the whole number 10 par 5 completely open in front of them, and hear the group on number 11 green, it never got better.

Long par 5 middle of back nine still on tee ordering drinks from cart girl and no one on hole in front. Need to do better on that Quintero!

Brutally Slow Play

Extremely slow play - over 5 hours. Poor conditions. I got paired up with 3 a-holes. There are better places to play where you can in 4.5 hours. Avoid this course

Beautiful course

Definitely the best course I’ve played. All 18 holes were unique from one another. Staff is great, grass was green, weather was great. It’s worth the drive, check it out.

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.
