Quintero Golf Club

5 hour round. No ranger in sight. Waiting 10 minutes on every shot. Don't waste your time with this course - way overrated

I was traveling to Phoenix and found this course through Golf advisor. I booked a tee time which turned out to be the first group off. Played with a Father and Son that were both great and we played in under 3 hours for 18! Course was in great shape, greens were firm so you have to play for an extra bounce but that was consistent so it was very playable. Staff was amazing and Made me feel welcomed both at the start and throughout the round. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely play this course again.

One other cool thing was the wild burros and lots of Quail and rabbits running around... has nothing to do with golf but was still very cool to see.

Greens ruined the experience. Course condition from tee to green was excellent. Most greens would not hold approach shots, even from inside 100 yards. The greens pitted fine, just too hard.

This is by far the best public course in AZ! Everything was in perfect condition and the greens were rolling at an 11. I will make a point to play this course anytime I can get down to the area... well worth the drive and cost. 5 out of 5

Absolutely love this course, I have golfed many AZ courses while vacationing and this has to be one of the best, I highly recommend golfing here

This course is one of favourite courses to play in Phoenix. It’s always in excellent shape. Very picturesque. There is something beautiful to see on every hole. The greens are in the best shape and very fast.The par 3’s are breathtaking and very unique. Staff are very friendly. If you haven’t played there, you are missing one of the best golf experiences.

Quintero remains at the top of the public course rankings with good reason. Always a good outing at this desert oasis!

Love this place! My first time playing and I enjoyed every part of the experience. The course is extremely challenging so make sure you play the right tees.

Make sure to choose the correct tees for your handicap you will have a more enjoyable experience . Awesome golf course hope to play again.

I've not played a ton of golf in the Phoenix area, but I think this course has to belong on a "must play" list. Its a little more difficult than the average course with its elevation changes, but there weren't forced carries that I would call unreasonable as long as you select the proper tee boxes.

Only downfall was there had been a little rain the night before and they restricted us to cart path only even though the course didn't seem wet at all (sunridge canyon and verrado were wetter and we could drive on fairways there).

during our recent trip we played southern dunes, estrella, victory, quintero, sunridge canyon and las sendas. I would rate this with the best of the bunch in views and layout and condition (sunridge and estrella were at the bottom for condition as the rough didn't exist and was matted down to essentially be dirt like). I rated the value as average because the course is expensive and its worth what you pay, but its as much or more than most guest fees at really good country clubs in the area.

Overall it was a great experience and I'll play it again when I'm in the area.

This is one of 6 courses we played during an annual golf trip to Phoenix with 7 of my colleagues.

The course and amenities are fantastic, but my buddy had his clubs stolen from the bag drop after the round. The clubs were handed over to the staff following our round and when we went to leave (30 minutes later) they were nowhere to be found.

Even though he was assured by the staff on duty that the course would take full responsibility to replace the stolen items, more than 2 weeks have now passed and he's still fighting for resolution and a commitment from the course management that they will in fact replace the full value of the clubs, estimated at over $3,500.

Great course but it's a shame that they aren't willing to step up and take responsibility for something that was their fault, especially considering the cost of the green fees.

For anyone who loves golf this is a must play. The views, course layout and condition are world class and I mean truly amazing . Unfortunately the day we played was a 5+ hour round. No reason for that as they did have marshals on the course. This is the most scenic and well designed high desert golf course I have seen. it is out in the middle of nowhere so be advised that you need to have lead time to get there. Well worth it though provided pace of play is better. they did give us a credit toward future play when we complained so that says something.

Don't get me wrong it is a wonderful course but shouldn't be number one in Arizona. And Arizona is known for over charging any course you play. This course was very challenging. It is worth the experience, however for the price range in peak season I would not go back. I would say fair price for this course is $60-$90. I am able to say I play Quintero and that is is a beautiful course, but I wouldn't say number one in Arizona. The views are worth the drive.

Course advice: You will be paying to shoot one of your worst rounds. What ever tees you think you should go from, go one up. Keep driver in you're bag for a lot of the holes 3 wood or hybrid are smart plays.

Quintero was about 45 minutes from Cave Creek and was an easy drive. Its best to get there a little early because its a few minute cart ride to the driving range and the start of the golf course. There are no houses visible on the course and its hilly and very scenic

All of the employees were professional, courteous and helpful.

There are 5 sets of tees and combinations of them ranging from 5043 yards to 7249 yards and a slope rating of 148.

The par 3's on this course are all pretty long even though they are downhill so I would say look at those yardages when deciding which tees to play.

A ball must be hit high to stay on the greens, low balls and low chips will definitely roll out and its best to play to the fat part of these very fast greens.

Our pace slowed a little on the back but it was a 4:15 round. There were water bottles in the cart, water on the course, a food and beverage station, and a cart girl that we saw numerous times.The GPS in the cart was very useful for this course. All in all a very fun and challenging course to play.

When we arrived we were greeted by the outside staff, in the proshop we were well informed of the facility... we were told it's a mile from proshop to 1st tee/practice facility it was a gorgeous scenic mile and when we got there everything is lush green couldn't ask for better conditions greens were on point ran 13 on stempmeter fairways were amazing stripes all day! I loved the track too many holes to pick a favorite. Pace of play was great even had time to hit some more balls after the round I would Definetly come back those conditions are second to none! (Be sure to book tee time ahead of time because tee times fluctuate)

I was very impressed with the layout of the course. It cut through the desert so inconspicuously. The fairways and tee boxes were in fantastic shape. The rough was non existent and the greens were cut way too short. The fringe around the greens served as a border, twice the ball careened off the fringe wall back onto the green. Because the greens were so short they were incredibly hard making it difficult to stick. Several good shots bounced through.

The staff is lovely, and smiling makes me feel like home. My dad loved it as well since he does not get to experience these types of conditions very often.

Its about a 45 min drive for me. At one point I thought to myself "where am I going?". Once I got onto the course I realized what all the fuss was about. Each hole is different than the other. I'm pretty sure I used every club in my bag as each shot demanded thought and accuracy. Yes it is an above average course in regards to toughness. But that doesnt take away from it being a very enjoyable round. The views from the par 3s are picture worthy. All but one are elevated. I will be back!!

There are some golf courses that when you play them you know it will be a round that you remember for ever. This is that type of golf course.

Once you play this course you will fall in love and want to play everyday. The course is always in great condition and the pride is apparent in how well the course is maintained. To top that off the staff is amazing and extremely friendly, all they care about is that you enjoy your round they truly treat you like friends. Always my # 1 recommendation to anyone looking for a place to play in the area.
