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.

My new favorite course in Arizona.

The layout & pristine condition of the course, made it a very special day for me & my group. I like to play a variety of different courses, but I could play Quintero over & over & over. Loved it.

One of the best in az

Quintero never disappoints. The course is in wonderful condition especially ifor August. The greens were receptive and rolled true. The fairways were nice and views spectacular. The one downside are the flies. Pesky little insects. For the price and drive it would also be nice to have an actual restaurant on site.

Remains one of our favorites. Love and appreciate the bounce back coupon. We will be back.

Great Day

Played for the first time and it did not disappoint. Great layout, views were amazing. Golf course in great shape. No bad lie within the fairway and rough was relatively easy to get out. Played the gold tees and the black would have added only a few yards. Will play again for sure and play the tips next time.

Challenging Course

Quintero is a great course with great greens and tight fairways. If you don't hit it close to the center of the fairway, you will most likely end up losing many balls in the desert as you cannot walk into certain areas to look for them since they are severely sloped washes with bushes everywhere. I would definitely play here again if it was a good deal. Very scenic and nice practice facility. Only slight negatives are the club house is very far away from the driving range and first tee and the pace of play is somewhat slow due to everyone looking for their tee shots in the desert.

Need to Play

This is course you must put on your play list.. Nestled between rocky desert.. A private course turned public, challenging yes, but truly a wonderful layout. Playing in summer might be a little toasty 110, but there is plenty of places where you have access to cold water.. and you'll need it. if you can stand the heat.. play this course.. professionally maintained, and well manicured. Also watch for specials on Golf Now well worth the $45.00,

Early morning tee time and was able to play in 3:15. Great fun and interesting wildlife. Nice variety of holes. Glad the Starter told me not to over-read the break!

Love Me Some Quintero

Simply one of, if not the, best golf courses I have played in the valley. All of the high rated golf reviews you see about this course are absolutely true. It's a gem. In my marks, I down graded Course Conditions and Value only because the greens and tee boxes had recently been aerated. Other than that, the course was immaculate. I will wait a few weeks and then go back to play the course at full strength. The layout and views alone are worth the price of admission. Lots of well placed bunkers, so make sure you spend a few minutes in the practice bunker before hitting the first tee. Also, the staff was as nice as could be. Looking forward to playing this place again--soon!

Awesome Course, Amazing layout, Target challenging

Quintero is nestled in between wickenburg and north Phoenix, near lake pleasant. This course was an absolute pleasure to play, I am a local to northern Phoenix and have played most of the Phoenix "desert courses" out there. The greens were challenging and fast, from the tee you need to have spot on accuracy to hit the playable areas of the fairways. The course is challenging on a targeting level for the advanced player and for the weekend warrior it has room to spare. Make sure your good at the beach because Quintero has plenty of puffy sand beaches to hit(Bunkers). Overall with the elevated tee boxes and undulated greens it was a masterpiece to play. A true hidden gem in the northwest valley. Comparable courses include the boulders, DC mountain etc....

The course conditions at Quintero are always excellent and the scenery is spectacular!

The greens are are usually hard and fast, but they always roll very true. Approach shots can run away, but with the correct trajectory and spin you can hold most greens.

There are plenty of traps guarding the greens, but the sand is good and sand saves are not impossible.

Stay and Play

The two days of golf, with overnight accommodations and meals was an outstanding event. The course was difficult and demands accurate shot making; however the course conditions were great and the staff were great hosts. We were very impressed with the entire experience.

Quintero is a great test.

Quintero is out in the middle of nowhere. It took us an hour to drive from the middle of Scottsdale so plan ahead. A long cart ride from the pro shop to the practice area & 1st tee (and last green). This is a challenging golf course all the way through from tee to holing out. We enjoyed it & played fairly well until the pace of play bogged down to waiting on every shot. The golf course's difficulty will add to slow play & the greens are so fast that leaving the ball close to the hole for tap-ins is not a sure thing. Not a golf course for beginners of hackers, but a great test if you like a challenge. I should add the natural desert scenery is also very nice at this course.

Quentero golf

The course is beautiful and scenic. The course is challenging--but is worth the challenge. I would play this course everyday if I could. The greens are very fast--pro quality. Fairways are well maintained and are fast. Great golf here!

Golf experience

Great course and great golf experience... a little pricey for mere mortals who play multiple times a week... I had customers in town for a week and got to play TPC stadium, Troon north, Verrado founders (Ravin) and Quintero and this was the best golf experience of all of them... in fact I'd pick both west side courses over the east side courses and for the money... by far, this course is in great shape, beautiful to play, very secluded and a little strange as it is in the middle of nowhere, long drives to first hole and between holes but that is part of its wonderful character, I think it's a golf course in the valley all golfers should experience ... will be back

Jewel of the Valley

This track is by far one of the most aesthetically pleasing and challenging you'll find in the west valley. It's well worth the drive and the price of admission.(provided you play off peak) It will more than challenge the scratch golfer and absolutely frustrate the beginner, however the scenery will more than make up for any feelings of consternation with the level of difficulty. The day that I played the winds were in excess of 40 mph, making the course play even harder however I came to quickly appreciate the innate challenges the course would provide with or without gale force winds, and it didn't change my mind at all about this track! A must play when visiting the west valley!
