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.

Perfect weather played from tips.

Good driving range, but you have to drive 5 mins on slow golf carts to get to it from parking area. Putting green too sloped to judge speed of greens.

Excellent GPS marked to the pin.

Every shot from tee to green is a postcard picture. Most beautiful course in Phoenix area.

Must play over and over and over.

Not to be missed

My son and I played this course because we had heard good things about it. In every respect it lived up to its billing. It is a fabulous layout, well maintained and in excellent shape. The staff are superb and obviously well trained in customer service. The course is very challenging but fair. It was a treat to play. Although the course is located a bit further away than many it is well worth the drive. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful Beast

Having played many of the high end/desert courses in Scottsdale/Phoenix I was anxious to visit Quintero. And it did not let me down. The views are stunning, the greens were true and very quick and the fairways and rough perfect. Many of the true desert courses in the area leave some ability to play a wayward shot off of the fairway/rough- from the desert. Quintero does not and leaves little room for error so bring your straight ball. Only drawback is drive to and from 1st and 18th tees and smaller clubhouse facility. Course more than makes up for those items. Great course-quickly became one of my top 5.

Quintero-Longest day of golf

Teed off at 1:30pm finished at dark (7:00pm). I understand March is a busy month for golf but don`t cram in extra "walk on" tee times. 5 1/2 hours is far too long for a round of golf. Luckily we got a decent twilight rate ($160) otherwise, wouldn`t recommend the course. On the positive side, the course was in great condition.

Love Hate Relationship

This is the second year I have visited the Phoenix area for my golf outing and I will always include Quintero as one of my favorite golf experiences. My level of golf is such that the course usually kicks my tail, but I love every bit of it. The course is challenging but it is so beautiful, you just don't mind.

Worth the drive

Second time playing Quintero. Absolutely worth the drive if you are staying in Scottsdale. Great elevation changes and tee boxes to fit any handicap. One of my favorite courses here. Great deals available on GolfNow. Not a full clubhouse, so don't plan on meals or drinks there. But a great golf experience.

Long drive from Phoenix. 6 - 8 degrees colder there than in the valley. Out in the middle of nowhere but worth the drive at least once. Great condition but greens too fast for my liking.

Magnificent

This place is amazing. Conditions were immaculate. Probably the best and most memorable course I've played here in Arizona, and I've played quite a few courses (Grey Hawk, Starfire, Kierland, Talking Stick, Troon North, Boulders, Ocotillo). It does have some quirks though: 10 minute cart ride from the pro shop to the practice area and first tee, then all the way back after the 18th hole. Also, the day I played it was cart path only, so pace of play was a little slow, but with the scenery being so amazing I didn't mind. Every hole is picture worthy, and the par 3's are spectacular. This place is well worth the effort to get there, and with it being in the middle of nowhere just adds to its beauty. I can't wait to come back on my next trip down.

Visiting Phoenis - This is the course to play!

Annually, I come to Phoenix and always look forward to playing here. From the time you drop your clubs until they get loaded back into your car, you're treated like family.

The course was in great condition. The greens are as fast as I've ever played. I can't remember taking so many 3 putt greens in a round. They had the tees up a bit from the last time I played but this course gave me everything I could handle.

The views from each tee are spectacular. The driving range is as good as I've experienced.

This is a must play if you're in Phoenix. You will not be disappointed!

Great Course...Extremely Slow

I have played Quintero a number of times in the last three years and this was my worst experience to date. I usually love the course but the pace of play on Sunday ruined the entire experience. Five hours and ten minutes for the round and there was literally a backup on every tee box besides one.

Great scenery

Another upscale golf neighborhood gone belly up. The area is fabulous, yes it is a hike but you know that when you sign up. Canyon breezes can be cool in the mornings. Plan extra time before hand,the ride to the range/first tee from the temporary pro shop is a long slow one. Bunkers are the down fall here. No sand,very hard. No 19th hole to speak of. You are here for the golf so enjoy it.

Drove from Scottsdale about 50 mins. Course is in No Man's Land. Nothing around it. Had to drive on a 2 lane highway which is frustrating and slow to drive. No highway signs to indicate where course is.

Once arrived, service is good. No formal clubhouse, but temporary structure.

Electric carts slow and basic GPS system for the high green fees. Free bottled water in cart. Club and ball washer on cart. Buy the Yardage book to give you better idea how holes go.

Once set up, it take 5mins to drive in a slow cart uphill to get to #1 tee and driving range. Way too long a cart ride.

Driving range has beautiful view. Practice greens are too sloped to gauge speed.

Played from 7200 yds. Tee boxes, fairways are good. Bunkers inconsistent with levels of sand. Lots of elevation change. Many holes shooting straight uphill. Greens were fast, slopy, and too many ballmarks unrepaired.

Most of holes are very artistically built and designer had great vision. It is beautiful to the eye from every angle and tee box.

Enjoyed the course, but due to the elevation changes, not my type of course. You have to play it at least once.

Then irratating slow cart ride back to return area. Then slow drive on a busy 2 land highway back to Scottsdale.

Due to the drive, traffic, slow golf carts...once is enough for me. But it is a beautiful course to the eye. Would rather play Papago, Camelback Ambiente, Boulders instead.

Thank you for coming to play Quintero. We are so glad you chose to spend some time with us! I played Ambiente recently. It is great, but Quintero puts down much more seed for the overseed. You cannot compare the fairways between the two. Give Quintero another shot when you return to AZ.

Quintero

From the moment you pull in the staff took great care of me. They made the experience much better. The actual course was amazing. Perfect conditions and a great layout. I was a single and they paired me with a member who really helped me with tips about each hole even though everything is pretty straight foward. I drove 1 hour and 40 minutes from Queen Creek to play here and would do it again in a heartbeat. Enjoy the views and stay out of the desert. I saw a 6 foot rattlesnake so don't wander off the grass.

Great scenery but VERY tough

The course is very easy on the eyes but a players nightmare. I would recommend everyone to play this once, it's beautiful. That being said when we were there the greens were rolling about a 12 and were breaking like crazy. There are many elevation changes, bunkers in play (which were rocky and inconsistent) and uneven lyes. For your enjoyment and the enjoyment of others choose your tees modestly. . And go prepared...practice and take few balls. 10 + handicap would be frustrated by the end of the round. All said play it once and take it from there based on your abilities and level of patientance. . It's pricy for what you'll get out of it overall.

Big Improvements in 2 years

I last played here nearly 2 years ago. My complaint to the clubhouse then was there were no hole maps, yardage books, or GPS. You just didn't know where you were going on some holes. Now there are cart-included green GPS yardage for front, middle, and back. There are yardage books for $5 in the clubhouse. They got the message.

Great course! A long drive from anywhere, but well worth it for the $84 special I got.
