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.

Immaculate (but Empty of Soul)

Quintero is an immaculate place. The greens are fast and true, the fairways perfect (and remarkably even a bit firm), the rough excellent, the tee boxes in good form. The views are incredible

Unfortunately, the course is a penal slog. Some people like this or think this is what golf should be. I'm not one.

Everyone who works here and maintains this course is great. They do a first rate job. I hate to disparage the facility. But ultimately for me it's about the course and I just don't have any kind words for the work of Rees Jones here.

Quintero is always topnotch.

As usual, Quintero is perfect. The green were 10's and you could read the break perfectly.....Although very fast. I'd play every week if I could afford to.

My new favorite course in AZ

I have played this course twice over the last few weeks and it is now at the very top of my favorite courses to play in AZ. Even though summer is winding down and most courses can get a little burnt out this course remains plush. The fairways are great for August but the greens are awesome! The staff is great and the wings are pretty fantastic as well. I highly recommend a round at Quintero!

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! BEST EXPERIENCE IN AZ!!

One of the best experiences I have had playing golf, top to bottom. Not only is the course beautiful and challenging, but the staff made the experience for myself, my 6 year old son, Brody and our foursome. Thank you Quintero Golf Club, the Minnesota Boys will be back everytime we travel to AZ.

Breathtaking Beautiful

I just moved to the Phoenix a year ago but had been coming down every winter to visit my brother and to play golf. We always picked one new golf course to play every year but mostly over in the east and northeast valley of Phoenix. I sent him pictures from my round since he no longer lives in the area and told him we had really missed a gem. The course is challenging but fair and really has fantastic views. I am going back again this month.

Great day at Quintero

Made the drive out to Quintero this morning and I'm glad I did! Some rain in the Valley drove some away, but it was well worth the drive. Cart path only, but course drained extremely well from all the monsoon rain we've had lately. Staff sent an email letting us know it would be cart path only and had a slight delay teeing off, but finished in less than 4 hours as a foursome.

Fairways were green, greens were pretty smooth and bunkers were outstanding considering the conditions. Definitely worth the hour drive out here! Will be back!

Secret Golf Oasis!

Quintero Golf Club is the secret gem of NW Phoenix in Peoria, AZ! Each hole challenges your skill set, rewarding the accurate and brave, but quickly punishes for any major errors. The course elevation and stunning foothill views make this course a "must play" on anyone's AZ visit! You will love this course, and will return again and again to experience golf at its finest! Courteous and professional staff, and nice selection of beverages and snacks both on course and at their club house.

Enjoy!!!

One of Arizona's Best

Great course layout with elevation changes and good challenges without being crazy difficult. They also keep the course in great playing condition, from excellent staff through the fairways, rough and greens.
