Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club

Make the drive. It's as simple as that.

If you are staying in the Phoenix area, pay Wickenburg Ranch a visit. I played in March and of the 6 courses I played, including Quintero, Verrado, and We-Ko-Pa this had the nicest greens and fairways. The conditioning was just incredible for any course, public or private. Wickenburg also has bent grass greens which is pretty rare for desert courses. And those greens roll pure and true!

I also thought the value was excellent. I played in the afternoon for $85. That's an incredible peak season deal compared to some of the resorts which get way more play.

I couldn't stay after the round, but the club house and patio look awesome. Tons of outdoor space, fire pits, etc. Looked like a perfect spot for a cold one.

One word ....SPECTACULAR !!

Everyone from the receptionist and starter treated us like we were very welcome and bent over backwards to insure we had a tremendous day on the course!

Wickenburg Ranch is just incredible. Course is much better than most private courses I've played. Tough track but definitely fair. Love that the rangers/starters make it a point to speed up groups. Ok that group might get irritated but the rest of the groups out there are happy. Yes this is a far drive for almost everybody but it's worth it. Only course that's better in my opinion is Quintero. Price is fantastic and love this place so much.

Extremely lush and beautiful fairways. Well maintained tee boxes. Greens are well maintaned but tend to be fast. Also, many of the greens are unusually shaped such that some pin placements make putting very difficult.

Drove up from Phoenix to play this gem. WOW!!! Very few courses in as pristine condition as this one. The practice facility is first class. We felt like we were putting the first divots in the fairways. Greens very fast and undulating and a little hard to get used to the speed but would get used to it playing it a few more times. Already have 2 more tee times in the next week. We are going to play the 9 hole course (Lil' Wick) as well for an extra $15. You will not be disappointed.

as always w/r is in great condition/shape and the staff is always very nice from the pro shop staff to the "1st" starter to everyone,My only complaint is the beverage cart lady,Rude..we saw her on a tee bax around 5th or 6th hole she turned around and went away,did not she her again for at least 6 or so holes and asked her why she turned and left..she did not answer..and then was rude about helping us with drinks or ice at that time..she needs to be told that the people playing the course help her keep her job.. otherwise course is in GREAT shape, greens awesome....hard to read and very quick/fast but a great golf course a long way from phoenix/scottsdale/glendale but worth the drive

We loved the course and want to make it back next year. We are from Canada and try to golf different courses when we come down. Would definitely recommend this course to everyone.

Most beautiful and we'll kept course I have ever played. Staff is awesome.

We haven't been out to WR since the end of 2015-they really have built up the amenities.....reminds me of DC ranch style and atmosphere. Everything was better than we could have wished for.

This was my second time out after a perfect experience this first time around. Our group came into the round very excited for what had been built up to be an amazing facility and course, which it is. The new facilities are amazing and the course is in perfect shape. My knock is on the service. The starter hurried us along and on the 3rd hole gave our group quite the earfull after falling, literally, 4 minutes behind pace. This was beyond your typical "pick it up fellas" type deal. Also, rarely saw the cart girl on the course. My previously pristine recommendation has been revised - its a great course, but sadly on 4 stars for me.

I had heard the rumors about this course so I took the long drive, about an hour from my Surprise home. I am so glad I did!! The staff was extremely helpful guiding me to the clubhouse, they were also very thorough explaining the course. The course itself may be one of the nicest I have played in Arizona, the Bent Greens were slick and true. The course was lush and tightly manacured. My only knock would be the cart girl came around one time in 18 holes. Other than that...make the drive!!!! Worth every dollar!!! I'll be back!!!

There was only one thing wrong with this course- it was too far from where I was staying. Worth the drive and it's easy to get to. Beautiful fairway's, green's were fast and in fantastic condition. I would play here again in a heart beat.

The layout is excellent. A good test for anyone. The greens were in excellent shape but very hard to read, very fast and difficult because of the undelations. Love the views and variety of holes. Was not happy the driving range was closed. Also, we could.not drive our golf carts closer than 125 yards to the greens on most holes. For being rated a 4 star golf course you would think the sand traps would have better sand, too hard and rocky.The course did have a lot of yardage markers but I would have preferred that the golf carts would have been set up with GPS systems. I enjoyed the golf course but for anyone who has a handicap of 15 or higher I would not recommend this course. Also extremely difficult for the average female player, too many holes in which you needed long drives

I was part of a foursome that arrived all excited about trying out this course that was recommended to us by friends. The practice facilities were excellent and there were lots of balls on the driving range. There was no starter available when we started so we went out to the tee box ten (10) minutes late only to find a twosome waiting to tee off!

Other than not waiting to hit on three holes we inched our way around in a bit over FIVE & A HALF HOURS! We finished out the last hole barley able to see!

The twosome in front of us were excellent golfers who were being held up by a foursome too ignorant to let them play through. A marshall would have fixed the speed of play but there were none on the course.

It is great to have all the nice amenities but I went to enjoy a golf experience on a highly rated course using my hard earned money! Yes the course was in very good condition but if management doesn't see the need for a marshal then their priorities need adjusting!

We had planned to stay after the game for food and beverages but when arrived back we just wanted to get away from the place!

WOW. This course was outstanding. The design itself is very unique with large rolling and curving fairways, lots of interesting hazards and the most insane greens I played this past week. There were massive drop offs, big ledges, undulations...you name it, the greens had it. I found myself laughing out loud at how crazy some of these features were - they were so exaggerated it was unreal. It really made the track fun to play, and forced lots of strategic thinking and consideration, versus just whacking away. Yes, it's "far away" from Phoenix and Scottsdale, but only relative to the massive amounts of great courses directly in Scottsdale, but it was worth the drive, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Heck, I'd almost fly out to Arizona again just for another round here. Oh, and I was there for the new clubhouse opening. It has an amazing patio overlooking 18. Really nicely done. In my mind, this is a must-play.

I just love this layout

Room to let it fly in the fairway but a challenging second shot and remarkable green undulation make for a challenging try at birdies and pars

Nothing is missing at this facility

Little wick 9. Holes looks like a blast with all the flair of the bug track

Island greens clubhouse with fire put tucked right in the middle

Can play 9 and dine

Terrific

This course was rated very high by Golf Digest and that rating is well deserved. The course is well designed, offers many options for level of play, and beautiful views of desert landscapes. Rates are very reasonable for this level of play and is within reach for those in the west valley. Definitely a must for those looking to include a gem on a golf trip.

Our foursome played as they were in the process of moving to their permanent clubhouse so we had a limited breakfast selection and a shuttle ride but throughout the service was maintained at a high level. I was amazed by the condition of the course. The tee boxes barely had a mark on them, the greens were fast and the fairways tough but wide enough. At the end of our round they have an area outside halfway down the hill to the 1st green for drinks & cigars. Our waiter was from Kosovo originally and indulged all our curious questions. Great kid! Overall our foursome couldn't have asked for a better experience. If they stay public and I can get any kind of reasonable rate we'll be back again & again!
