Quintero Golf Club
About Quintero Golf Club
Quintero Golf Club, located about an hour northwest of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, is one of the most scenic golf courses in the Valley of the Sun. While generally a daily-fee course, it does have a small handful of casita rentals for stay-and-play packages. These casitas, located within the community's Entrada properties, feature two large bedrooms with full bathrooms each, and a private patio with the option for outdoor dining. The executive Loft has a large living area with pool table. Guests have access to the Quintero pool, jacuzzi and grilling area. Located in the Hieroglyphic Mountains, Quintero Golf Club was designed by Rees Jones and is a popular pick for the best golf course in the valley. Within 15 minutes is the Lake Pleasant Marina and Scorpion Bay Marina.Facts

Hole 9 (I think) Photo submitted by azwilli on 09/27/2012
Great round
Had a wonderful time. Course was in great shape, only issue was the sand in the bunkers. Completely different sand in multiple bunkers, I asked the cart guy and he explained that they are upgrading the sand. ...which I applaud. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were disappointed we did not see the cart girl through the front 9. We did see her sit and chat with the cook at the turn for about 25 minutes while we waited for the green to clear. She never moved the entire time, when we putted out we interrupted her conversation to purchase refreshments, she was still there when we drove away. A little bit nitpicky on my end, but we were thirsty and her ethic did not match her coworkers. We will be back.
Greatest in AZ
Greatest course I have played in AZ.....super plush...tight fairways, fair rough, and fastest greens anywhere! Hard to hold shots into greens, but it didn't matter. Wonderful staff one and all. Cart girl was around numerous times and very friendly. Definitely see the Troon influence here. First class operation from the second I got on the property. GO PLAY HERE!
Greens
As of the day I played, these are the best and fastest greens most people will ever play. Course in fantastic condition. Would like to see more people fix their own ball marks though, stop being lazy.
Great views, tough course, crazy fast greens
I live nearby in a golf community and try to play this course several times per season. Always remember how pretty the course is and difficult it can be if you don't hit the ball straight. My only complaint would be the speed/condition of the greens. They said prior to playing that they were running 13 and they actually seemed faster than that! I managed to hit many GIR's but found myself with 40-50-60'+ putts. Many of these putts rolled 10-15' past the cup if you didn't hit the center of the cup. Carts have speed restrictions on them due to the hills on the course and are very slow. From the clubhouse to the first tee and after 18 seems to take forever. Plan a lot of time to play with slow carts, lots of distance to cover and slow play that doesn't take much to back up. Beautiful course lots of wildlife, rabbits, roadrunners, rattlers, birds, etc. you name it and you will most likely will see it! Got to play this course once. Quintero please make your greens more user friendly and the golf experience would be a 10. I give the course a 10 and the greens a 4-5.
Great views and service
This is a course with some great desert golf holes. The only negative were the rock hard greens. For example - # 9 is a downhill par 3 and my ball bounced 20 feet in the air and off the back of the green.
Best course in az
Amazing course all around. Pretty difficult as the greens were the fastest I've ever played in AZ. The greens were very hard and required placement shots on the green. You can't attack the pin or you will be off. Wish there was a little more hold on the greens but they did run true. Fairways were the best I've played in the desert as well. Tough course for good golfers but if you aren't the best you are sure to enjoy the best course in the area. Awesome service from the time you arrive till you leave the property. It's an absolute must play
Stunning Views!
Quintero was an amazing course! Staff was very friendly and course was in great condition. Every hole was stunning and the views of the landscape was truly breathtaking. Pace of play was very good and there are numerous options for tee boxes. Initially it seemed as though they had tee times close together as we were pushed for the first nine holes, but it settled down after initial nine. I will play again and would not hesitate recommending this course to anyone.
Must visit golf course
We had a very enjoyable day. The views are extraordinary and the course is a challenge but very fair. We played the mixed silver/copper tees and they were perfect. Wives played the jade tees.
Quintero Review
I love this golf course. It is kept in great shape at all points of the course from tee box to collar of the greens. The greens are very fast and smooth. The only knock I have on this course is that no one fixes there pitch marks on the green. Bent grass must be repaired or you will have a bunch dead pitch marks all over the green and there was an unusually high number of them there. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. If they can get the price around 40 dollars this summer I will go play it twice a week. Come on Quintero lets have a great priced summer rate this year.
So glad you had a great day at Quintero! We are offering summer specials! You can buy a 10 pack of rounds for $595 and a 20 pack for $890. These rounds are good from 6.5.15- 8.27.15 Please call the golf shop for details.
A Truly Unique Golfing Experience
The course was awesome and well worth the 50+ minute drive from where we were staying in Scottsdale. It is secluded from any housing developments or other construction; it's a true desert course. The conditions are immaculate. The fairways are like carpets and the greens roll quite fast (the staff said they were at a 12, but I didnt find them to be unreasonably fast, so not sure whether that was right). The par 3s in particular are some of the most dramatic I've ever played, with significant elevation changes of which no pictures on the internet due justice. The fairways are pretty tight. If you're spraying your golf ball around, you wont enjoy this round. In fact, if you're over a 15 or 16 handicap, I dont really think this is the course for you. The isolated setting makes for an absolutely memorable round of golf (for me, in the top 10 I've ever played), and a sun-setting back 9 makes the heat of the the front 9 on an afternoon round worth it.
There are a number of quirky things about this place: the lack of a true clubhouse; the fact that the range is a long drive from the clubhouse as well as the first tee (so, in a hot place like Arizona, for example, someone looking to take refuge in cool a/c in between the range in the round is out of luck); that even if you have prepaid through the course website, you still need to go into the pro shop to pay taxes on the round (so why bother with prepay at all? No other courses I know of do it like this).
We were also frustrated with the bunkers, which have almost no sand in them. I'm usually a very solid player out of the sand, and it was nearly impossible to hit any type of clean sand shot from the green side bunkers, which felt more like covered concrete.
The worst part of the experience was the pretentiousness of the place. They are a former private club and still sort of act that way. We were greeted by super friendly staff in the parking lot. But the friendliness ended there. We arrived at the range at 1:15 for our 2:30 tee time, expecting to take our time and hit plenty of balls. First, the guy tending the range has us all pile together on a small portion of the range that is elevated from where the majority of places to hit are. He tells us that he is setting up the range for the next day (this is at 1:15pm the day before). Then, at 2pm, with 30 minutes left before our tee off time, he closes the range entirely. Are you kidding me? For the prices that Quintero charges, the customer should come first. It is not reasonable to close the range at 2pm to a group of 8 guys who paid a lot of money and drove a long way just to play the golf course. We didnt feel this type of treatment from any of the other courses we played on this trip (Southern Dunes, Gold Canyon, We-Ko-Pa).
Quintero Golf Club is truly a once-in-a-lifetime type of course that is worth the drive. In my personal opinion, given the prices they charge to play (which are comparable to the other elite but much more proximate courses to the scottsdale area), they need to work on the customer experience. But I will never forget that golf course. It's amazing.
Thanks for coming to play Quintero on your trip to AZ from New York. Thank you as well for spending time on this review. It is well thought out. We will look into the range set up on this day. We really appreciate you sending pictures. Please come join us at Quintero when you come back to AZ.
Another fun day!
Always enjoy my rounds at Quintero and today was no different. Course was in excellent shape for getting into mid spring. Rained a bit for 3 holes, but then cleared up enough for a good round. Got the chance after the round to enjoy an excellent cheeseburger cooked at the turn and watch a couple of groups from the new deck area behind #9, one of the prettiest par 3's in Arizona. Don't know when I'll get back, but I know it'll be another fun time when I do.
We will welcome you back whenever you have the time. Thank you for your positive comments. You had one of the few rainy days at Quintero!
Well worth the drive
We changed from another course while on our trip, after hearing it was a great experience. We heard it was really hard, but it is definitely playable. Greens were the fastest we encountered on our 4day trip, but would hold and were fun to putt. Sand was a little inconsistent, but the beauty of this course can not be beat. Some golfers do not like elevation changes, and the par 3s are all about that here. We found it challenging. Very beautiful par 5s, very challenging. Highly recommend this experience- not sure what the future is for Quintero, but very glad we played it.
Thanks for coming out to play Quintero, and thank you for your positive comments. We are glad you had a great day!
worth the ride
o
ne off the best courses in az love the elevations and the wild life GREATCOURSE
We are glad you enjoyed your day at Quintero. What wildlife did you see?
Nice but not worth the money. Way over priced
Took a client. Wouldn't do it again. Greens were way to hard. Ball hit and rolled. You have to drive your cart for awhile just to get to the practice area and first tee. Way over priced. In the middle of no where. Course doesn't read on your Car GPS
The layout was great with a lot of elevation changes and tight fairways loaded with bunkers
I really like the challenge of the layout- fairways and greens were super but the sand traps had rocks in them and the 6-8 foot deep bunkers had very little sand- not enough to easily get the ball out. My cart died , we called in but no one came out to replace it, fortunately the paired up person let me ride with him.
Scenic beauty
Incredible course. A bit of a drive to get to the course but well worth it. Every hole is scenic. Enough challenges throughout the course to keep it exciting and fun. Unfortunately the sand bunkers were lacking enough sand to properly play them...I know it's best to avoid them. The greens were extremely hard and fast, it was near impossible to get a ball to hold. Overall for the price paid through Golfnow you can't beat it.
Thank you for coming to visit Quintero. We are renovating all the greenside bunkers. This process will be on going through the summer of 2015. Several are already completed. We hope you will join us again soon.
Awesome
The course has a challenging layout. The greens are fast and the fairways are lush. The wind blew all day which added to the difficulty.
I do wish we could turn off the wind! We cannot control mother nature. Thank you for coming out to play. We welcome you back anytime.
Great Views, great condition, great challenge
Every hole is a visual delight and a beautiful golf hole. Challenging elevations and undulating greens. Down hill down gain are very quick. A fun course. Could be the best in the Phoenix area. Well worth the drive.
Thank you for coming to visit Quintero. We look forward to seeing you in the future.
Amazing Scenery, tough course
If you're looking for golf with some views, Quintero Golf and CC is your place. If your looking for a friendly course that allows you to miss the fairway and score well, not going to happen. If you miss the Fairway or the grass in front of you then you are in for a long day. Every par 3 plays downhill, fun to play but in my opinion not very realistic.
Great pic! Thank you for sharing. Quintero is not an easy course, that is true. If you play it again, I'll be your will feel more comfortable. Join our eclub and watch for the specials coming your way.
My Fav
This is far and away the nicest course I've ever played. The way the desert and course blend together is absolutely beautiful. Each hole is unique and none are "squeezed in" to fit the layout. I was a single playing behind several foursomes and the Marshall found a way to get me to some open holes and come back to the ones I missed. It's kicked my butt twice now and I've loved every second of it!
Thanks for coming out to play! We love your positive comments. We hope you will join us again soon.
We are glad you had an enjoyable day. It is great to be able to play all the different tee combinations at Quintero. Next time, you can try a different tee on the par 3's!
