Style Desert/Traditional

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.

Nothing not to like

The bag drop was on the ball, the check-in was smooth, the practice area was expansive and Sean the starter gave me more tips than I could remember and everyone of them was pertinent to having a good round, If only I had remembered more of them.The greens had been top dressed a couple of days before but still putted very well and the layout of the holes is amazing. Tees and fairways were generally very good. That steep uphill dogleg right par 5 with the blind lay up tee shot is quite the hole. I'd never seen anything quite like that. The holes are separated nicely, the carts and cart paths were in great shape and at the moment the twilight rate is a bargain. Play it if you get a chance. There are a lot of lost balls around this place. It may seem a little odd to take a half mile cart ride to get from the less than impressive pro shop to the practice area/first tee but it is well worth the trip. I did miss a sign and got turned around trying to get back to the cart return. Stay on the road, not the cart path.

Excellent

One of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve ever played. Greens were nearly perfect. The bunkers and fairways were in good shape also. The tee boxes were a little thin in some spots, but in generally in good shape for mid summer. It’s a challenging course, but well worth the drive.

Great course

I have always wanted to play this course, but it is a little ways away from my home. I got a great deal on GolfNow and couldn't turn down the opportunity. The course is challenging and has a variety of holes and was in very good shape for the middle of the Arizona summer. There are elevation changes throughout the layout and you need to hit it pretty straight to score well. The greens are bent grass and very fast. I would definitely return to play again.

Worth the drive

It may take a little longer to get here, but I never remember the drive after I hit my first drive. The layout, variety of holes and elevation changes would be enough, but the course conditions on top of everything else make this one of the special courses in The Valley. Best group of par 3’s anywhere.

Great Golf Experience

Overall really liked the course. Conditions for this time of year were about as good as it gets. Fun layout that's fairly challenging but not too tricked out. Greens were a bit on the fast side, which I tend to prefer. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing that marred the round was the 2sum I was paired with. I appreciate they're enforcing slow play rules, but the Marshall needs to make sure he's talking to the right people. I'm not hitting 2 off the tee 75% of the time, or spending an inordinate amount of time in the desert looking for my wayward tee shots, nor am I going to speed up my play because I was paired up with a couple hackers who are playing from the wrong tee box.

Great Course

Played this course for the first time with 2 friends. Great layout, challenging, but fair. The only downside was the pace of play. A twosome in front of us would play the farthest back tees, even if they were closed, and didn’t hit very well. After leaving the green they would sit in the cart 2-3 minutes before taking off to the next tee box. Frustrating to say he least. No ranger on the course to politely move groups along.

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..
