Rating 72.9

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.

Top Notch

This course was pristine. One of the nicest maintained courses I’ve ever played. Course was challenging but more forgiving than it looked many times. This course was very fun to play and the holes had a lot of diversity from one hole to the next. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all perfect. Greens ran very pure. Can’t wait to play here again it doesn’t get much better than this.

Great conditions

Made the 1.5 hour drive the East valley. Worth the drive to play once a year especially if you can get a decent rate. Conditions were very good...greens held everything but were fast and very tricky. The ongoing housing development takes away from the scenery.. Ugly manufactured homes throughout the course . They must be cheap because I am not sure why anyone would seek out this destination to live. Understaffed in the bar and restaurant. Came for the course and it is well worth it! Lots of blind shots that made it tricky when playing the first time.

Labor Day at WR

This course was simply exceptional. I was amazed at the beauty of the surrounding areas, which were nothing in comparison to the beauty of the course it self. The course was in as good of a condition as any I course I have ever played. That is quite impressive considering the dry heat. I was a big fan of the short game practice area adjacent to the driving range. The layout of this course was challenging, yet a ton of fun. My only wish is that it was closer to Tempe so I could play more often.

This course is in great shape. I have played it twice now and it was better than I remembered. Greens are super soft and really fast, course is definitely well cared for. Also if you play 18 you must go and play the little 9 hole par 3 course as well. This is my favorite course I have played yet.

Great golf course that was in amazing condition; fairways were perfect and greens were smooth and quick, but were very responsive to a good shot. Pace of play was definitely a five ⭐️ as well, never waited one time.

I will definitely continue to come here as often as I can; the staff members were awesome too!

Excellent

I have been playing all around the Phoenix area. From Gold Canyon (East) Eloy (South) to Oakcreek and Stone Ridge (North) and nearly everywhere in between. This course has by far the best greens I have ever played on. Very soft and smooth almost like a carpet. The rest of the course is in excellent shape. This is a fun course. I love all the elevation changes. It makes it exciting. The staff was very professional. The ranger came by and checked in on me a few times. Made sure I had water. It was very hot out. Nice guy. We chatted a bit before moving on.

WOW, Just WOW

What a beast! Been wanting to come here for awhile and it was worth it. First the service, and people working there are great.

The course is a lot of fun, I'll tell you now! If you have a chance to golf with someone who is a regular here. It would help big time! You have some blind shots, and you have no idea whats coming up. The greens were recently aerated, so give it about a week and it should be pristine!

This track is a little tough, but it's fun. And just be smart about it.
