Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club is in the heart of some of Arizona's most dramatic Sonoran Desert terrain, you would hardly be able to guess that you're only about an hour from Phoenix. The golf course tumbles across rolling hills, stretching to more than 7,000 yards from the back tees. Each hole provides a different challenge thanks to the fluctuating elevations, which are complemented by strategically placed bunkers. You won't find too many water hazards but you're in for a challenge where it does come into play. One of the most notable water holes is the par-3 13th, which has a massive lake hugging the right side of the green. It's followed by another water hole, a par 5 with ponds on either side. The appeal of the golf course goes beyond the challenging layout, Wickenburg Ranch offers scenic views of Vulture Peak and Prescott National Forest as well as mild temperatures almost year-round.

Wow!

This golf course is truly unbelievable! The course is always in mint conditions and you will not find another facility like this for a public course in the area. Every staff member truly wants you to have a great time and the service all around was great! The Lil' Wick is excellent and a great warm up or close to your experience at Wickenburg. This is my personal favorite course in the entire Phoenix / Wickenburg area and I would recommend this course to everyone!

FANTASTIC!

One of the best courses I've played. Super fun and absolutely Gorgeous. Get in and play before they restrict it to members only. The layout of the course is challenging but very fair. Unlike many Arizona courses, you do not get penalized by less than perfect shots to the fairways. The Greens may be a different story. They are large and in PRISTINE condition, but many are divided into separate levels or sections and your approach shots need to be accurate to get close to the pin. Subtle slopes affect putts much more than meets the eye. This is a MUST PLAY and worth the drive if you are in the Phoenix or Prescott area.

Thanks for your feedback and glad to hear the course and overall experience exceeded your expectations. The course offers a great mix of forgiveness off the team and some challenge on your approach shots and around the green. Definitely a MUST PLAY and we look forward to you playing with us in the future.

Great Course

Although this course is more expensive than most I play I really thought the course was fantastic. From tee to green the information you were given from the placks on the tee boxes or the pocket pro provided was great. This was my first time playing this course and no one in our group had played it before.

Good and Bad

Beautiful course with extreme elevation changes. Too many par three and par fives Every hole required drive over desert area Many blind shots either off the tee or into the greens Many holes where good but not great shots left the ball in areas where up and down was very difficult. Many of the pins were set very close to the left or right edge of the big greens. This was not obvious from the fairways second or third time around would have made the course much more playable. In short, a beautiful, extremely well maintained course of unusual design fun but simply not very user friendly. I would gladly play again but would not want to play on a regular basis

Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback on your experience with us. We do have large green complexes, which allow for a multitude of pin placements, and it appears you played on a day of higher difficulty. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoyed the challenge and found it fair. We hope to see you soon to give Wickenburg Ranch another try!

Beautiful!

This is a gorgeous course meandering through the desert. Some challenging holes with water, bunker protected greens and desert to lose your balls in. There is no leaving the carpeted Fairways to look for an errant ball. Snake country...

Thanks for your comments during your recent experience with us. Glad to hear you felt the conditions and layout were exceptional. As it warms up here in the desert, we don't recommend a deep search and rescue for balls, but you may find the occasional one. Nevertheless, glad to hear you enjoyed and we look forward to having you back out soon!

Gorgeous conditions

From the scenic location to the immaculate conditions, this course was a delight to play. Probably the best conditioned course I have played. This is a difficult course and I would not recommend it to a higher handicap player. We found it challenging and fun to clear water and desert features. Great food in the restaurant and all staff were great.

A Must Play but Make Sure You Can Hit a Driver

Unbelievable course that’s worth the drive from the PHX area! Spectacular views, challenging drives, approaches and putts. Greens are a bit of a challenge but roll fast! Make sure you can hit a driver 150-250 yards straight because the course contains many long par 5s with needing a long drive to hit a fairway! Definitely will be making a trip back here sometime in near future! It’s a must play

Best course by far

Played courses in Goodyear, Wickenburg Sun City El Mirage and Prescott Valley. This was , by far, the best course yet. Conditions were 10 of10 and the layout was a better design than the Nicholas courses I’ve played for way more $$.

Possibly best public course in AZ

I’ve played all of the best public and many of the top private tracks around Phoenix and this place is right up there with the best. Phenomenal condition, great layout with plenty of risk/reward, elevation changes, and water too. Grass was as well kept as any course in the valley, the course would be $250 a round if it weren’t so far away. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
