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.

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.

It may be far for some, but worth the drive. Course was exceptional!

Golf course in beautiful condition. Greens could use some help from "golfer's" need to fix their ball marks on the greens. Friendly outside service(including ground maintenance crews ). Thanks for awesome experience.

Course was beautiful and in great condition.
You will get severely penalized for any errant shots.
Greens are usually fast and tough to read.
Many hidden bunkers and hazards.

Great course, nice greens. Course full of "that guy". The cigar smoking 36 handicap that thinks he is a 3 handicap. Playing wrong tees and slowing pace of play. Full of donkeys

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!

greens are the best in the valley, rolled great 12 on stimpmeter

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.

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.

Excellent layout and overall experience. Staff is very friendly and customer service was fantastic. Would highly recommend this to anyone. One of the best in the valley!

The course is in great shape. Greens run fast and perfect. Best Greens in the valley.

Was paired with three very nice people and was an enjoyable round less the slow play. Greens was fast, make sure you know if you putting toward or away from the mountain. We saw a bobcat.

Green condition was great. Fairway was good but some bunkers were on the repair. Regarding about the this, no mentioned in golfnow.com. So, ball in the repairing bunker should be dropped out with one stroke penalty.

Course was great, beautiful, very challenging but fair, and in great shape. Automatic GPS on carts worked well with no programming required. Needs a club house to match the course.

I played this course when I finally saw a reasonable deal on golfnow. I don't understand the hype for this course. Unfortunately, I thought the course was just average. I did like the elevated tees and wide fairways but none of the holes were really that memorable. With that, I think that's what everyone gets caught up in. All in all, I did have a great time because I was playing golf but I thought the course was ok and I was let down a bit based on all the hype this place gets. Nothing like hearing gunshots in the nearby desert while on the back nine. I did like the complimentary brownie they give you mid round!

By far one of the best courses I have played in my life.
Greens were so fast but also so true, an absolute challenge. Expect a lot of elevation changes.

A must play, would definitively play here again. Worth the drive (an hour) from Scottsdale.

I have played every premier upscale course in Arizona, including all the $200-$300 tracks in Scottsdale. Quintero is simply the best! Regardless of season they have the best greens (smooth and very fast). A premium is put on your short game skills and tee shots if you want to score well. Well worth the drive, you will NOT be disappointed. Best set a par 3's you will ever play, lots of elevation changes. Needs a better clubhouse and golf shop, but how important is that really? If you like to practice, the practice facility is stellar. A must play!!!

Third time to Quintero. Even in the heat of the summer the greens were perfect. A great risk reward course with 4 of the most beautiful par 3s you can find in golf.
