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.

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.

A True Masterpiece

From the very beginning this course wowed me. One of the most spectacular driving ranges followed by an incredible course that can be a true challenge. I would maybe say my one complaint was green speeds were ludicrously fast, almost tournament speed, and the challenge it took to even hit the green let alone having to 3-putt several times does take a toll on the scorecard, but it is without a doubt the prettiest desert course i've ever played

Be a Man

I forgot to cancel three tee times and the guy in the shop said he would waive them even though it is not their policy. I have the emails showing he waived them. Thought that was very nice and appreciated it. Then the "GM" comes out to the range to tell me that is not their policy, but they are not going to charge us. Later we get to about the 7th hole and he sends out some random guy asking for a credit card to charge us and give us three passes. Here is the issue, don't tell us you are going to waive it and then aren't man enough to come out and say you changed your mind!! Don't send out some poor guy to explain it for you. I appreciate the fact that they gave us the passes but not the way you should handle business.

Hopefully over time you will learn to handle this situation better!!

Loved the course layout - greens too severe

Breathtaking views from many elevated tees, Sonoran desert views, challenging hole layouts. Pace of play was a bit slow at almost 5 hours and greens were fast with many pin positions set on sloped lies which made putting a challenge. I would go back in a heart beat though and highly recommend the course. I'm sure the second time I play it would be better with more knowledge of where to hit shots and give more respect to the severity of the greens.

Special golf course

Quintero is a gem. Very beautiful, well maintained and no two holes feel the same. I try to play this course every time I get to Scottsdale. It is well worth the 40 minute drive.

My favorite Arizona course

If you live in Arizona or are planning a visit, playing Quintero is a must! I golf year round and this place is at the top of my list. Nothing beats a desert course and it is so much fun to play. Once you play, you will see why it is a top 100 course.

Best golf course in Arizona!

Best golf course in Arizona! It is the perfect mix of a fun challenging golf course and the desert landscape is hard to beat. A group of my friends and I stayed at the luxury condos on property and had a private chef make the most amazing food. Truly an amazing experience overall.

Best in the West

Quintero was the last "west valley" course I needed to try and it did not disappoint. The greens are shockingly good for this time of year and the fairways had very minimal burned spots. This golf course is a second shot course, the fairways are wide and forgiving but you better be precise with your approach. Great layout with a few very elevated par 3s. If I had to give some criticism it would be the bunkers. They had some decent sized pebbles in them and could use some more sand. Also this course is in the middle of nowhere, so plan accordingly. Will absolutely be back.

WOW!

Where to start? The setting is fantastic. Secluded, quiet--there are only a few times you may be made aware of other golfers anywhere nearby. The layout is challenging, so don't expect to come here for your first visit and "go low". It's probably too hard (some of the bunkers are brutal), but I enjoy a good test.

Visually the course is stunning, with lots of elevation changes and undulations. The greens are tough--fast, but fair. One surprise, lots of un-repaired ball marks. This isn't a cheap course and I'd expect better etiquette.

I love the water and ice stations, which are an ice and water machine, so you never roll up to an empty water jug. (It was 110 F today) But there is only one per side, so fill up when they appear!

The practice facility is top notch, but arrive early for your round if you plan to take advantage. It's got to be 1.5 miles from the pro shop.

This course should high on your to-do list!

Perfect Day of Golf

Just an absolute gem of a place to play golf. Lucky we had tempts from 85 degrees the whole round. The course layout was amazing. Just simply a beautiful and challenging course just 25 min away from my house. Picturesque views, well though of holes sculpted into the natural desert landscape. Our rount was never delayed or pressured thanks to Adam mainting flow of play. Definitely one of my top 3 courses in AZ I’ve played. Chef Tony and staff with the slider/tots combo was super legit! Thank you for a pleasurable experience.

Fantastic Golf Experience!

We play Quintero during our annual golf trip to Scottsdale and need to play it more often! It was hot (summer AZ Golf) but worth the experience. You've got to try out this hidden gem.
