About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Desert/Traditional
Par 72
Length 7249 yards
Slope 148
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.

In late November

Played the Silver tees but that left a bunch of 170 shots for the second shots. The bunkering is among the best I have played (as to placement and design).
Very good par threes. Since a frost delay of 45 minutes and the late-in-the-season date of play, the greens were 14 on the stemp. Wicked if above the pins.

Had a blast, will be back!

I've been playing for just a few months now, and honestly this is the finest course I've played in the Phoenix metro. It's simply a feast for the eyes, with jaw-dropping view after jaw-dropping view. Picked up a Thanksgiving week hot deal since my brother was in town, and he was blown away as well by the beauty of the place. He's been playing the sport for years, and he told me it was his favorite course he's ever played, which I was glad about because I really wanted him to have a fun experience. He did. The place was stellar.

The course was definitely challenging, especially the Par 3s. The greens were like lightning, which puts a real premium on quality approaches, chips, sand shots and any putt more than five feet. If that's the worst part of your game, you're going to struggle. There are PLENTY of bunkers here, so if you can avoid those, you'll likely have a great day...and you should file for a PGA Tour card immediately.

All in all, a really amazing course that would really impress your buds if that's what you're looking for. The starter guys was super descriptive about what to expect, the practice facilities were amazing, and the drink cart girl we saw was a total honey.

Live about 45 mins away, but will definitely be back soon!!!

The course was in great shape.

The course was in great shape but their were too many
ball marks on the greens. They do have machines that
fix that and people playing it need to fix their own ball
marks.

Quintero Golf Club

This course is a must play but you better bring your A game. The staff were very friendly and make you feel like a guest, not just another public player. We were more than a bit underwhelmed with the tents set up but I assume they will be building more permanent structures when they raise the capital. After the 10 minute ride up the hill to the range, practice green and first tee you could tell that the views would be spectacular throughout your round. There are several tee boxes to choose from to make the course fit your game but as I already stated, bring your A game. The fairways are ample but don't miss or you will lose several balls. The washes along each hole are deep and no place to try to retrieve an errant shot. If you don't like sand, don't come here as there is far too many bunkers. The greens were lightening fast and rolled true. The pace of play was about 4:15 which was just about right. Even though we were enjoying our round and the pace of play was good the group behind us kept trying to push us because they must have wanted to play a 3 hour round of golf on a Sunday morning. We kept pace with the group in front of us and there was not a place for the group behind us to advance to so back off and let people enjoy their round. But despite those people the day was pretty enjoyable. The cost of golf was a bit high for late summer but I guess they only want golfers and not hackers to come. We will not even attempt to play in the winter due to the price. This place should be on your must play at least once list though.

Easily one of the top courses in the Valley. A bit of a drive to get to but a true destination golf experience once you arrive.

Accuracy is at a Premium

I have Golfed every great course in the PHX area. We-Ko-Pa, Troon North, Southern Dunes, Superstition Mtn, Dinosaur Mtn, The List goes on and on.Quintero is at the Top of Quality and Wow factor for this elite list. Visually it is awesome. Quintero seems to favor a Draw for "most" T-Shots They have spared no expense on Design or Maintenance. Every hole is unique, Every Drive, Lay up and approach requires the utmost in accuracy. The Par 3's are beasts and picking the right club is half the battle. 73.1/143 from 6875 yards is a tough mudder fugger. If Sunday Pins are out play to the middle of the greens or you will end up with a Basketball game score. .The greens are pure and fast, start it on the right line with good speed and it will go right where it should. This is an amazing place to golf but don't come here if you shoot 89 at your local Muni. This is not a "Spray and Pray" golf course. Birdies here feel like eagles. Its just that tough.Just an impressive track. The only recommendation for improvement would be the the wait staff was seemed spaced out. (and I use the word "Wait" on purpose) A hotdog to go should be a 3 to 5 min thing. A lot of the time golfers want to get going quick. Fast attentive service for food would go a long way here.

great course, even better greens

One of the best courses I have ever played it was in great shape with very fast and true greens. They were re-doing the bunkers and putting in softer sand which i thought was much better than the old sand. Overall a Great Course!

Best greens in west valley

This is not only a beautiful course, but the layout challenge and overall experience is worth the drive and playing. I love the elevation change as well as the greens being some of the best I have played on. The course was in fantastic shape and that says a lot for July golf in Arizona. Looking forward to playing here again.

One of Arizona's best public courses

This course is the equal of all the better known Phoenix/Scottsdale courses with even more terrain and no homes or developments infringing on the course. While a bit of a drive from Scottsdale it is well worth the trip! The conditions, setting and course design are top notch. This may be my favorite area course and I have played nearly all the top rated layouts.
