Quintero Golf Club

Green condition was great. Fairway was good but some bunkers were on the repair. Regarding about the this, no mentioned in golfnow.com. So, ball in the repairing bunker should be dropped out with one stroke penalty.

Course was great, beautiful, very challenging but fair, and in great shape. Automatic GPS on carts worked well with no programming required. Needs a club house to match the course.

I played this course when I finally saw a reasonable deal on golfnow. I don't understand the hype for this course. Unfortunately, I thought the course was just average. I did like the elevated tees and wide fairways but none of the holes were really that memorable. With that, I think that's what everyone gets caught up in. All in all, I did have a great time because I was playing golf but I thought the course was ok and I was let down a bit based on all the hype this place gets. Nothing like hearing gunshots in the nearby desert while on the back nine. I did like the complimentary brownie they give you mid round!

By far one of the best courses I have played in my life.
Greens were so fast but also so true, an absolute challenge. Expect a lot of elevation changes.

A must play, would definitively play here again. Worth the drive (an hour) from Scottsdale.

I have played every premier upscale course in Arizona, including all the $200-$300 tracks in Scottsdale. Quintero is simply the best! Regardless of season they have the best greens (smooth and very fast). A premium is put on your short game skills and tee shots if you want to score well. Well worth the drive, you will NOT be disappointed. Best set a par 3's you will ever play, lots of elevation changes. Needs a better clubhouse and golf shop, but how important is that really? If you like to practice, the practice facility is stellar. A must play!!!

Third time to Quintero. Even in the heat of the summer the greens were perfect. A great risk reward course with 4 of the most beautiful par 3s you can find in golf.

Can't say anything bad.. Gre,at time even in the summer heat.

Best course in the region.
We will be back.
Perfect conditions great challenging course.

Beautiful course, great friendly staff, great food.

This course is the pinnacle of desert golf. Amazing views, well maintained from tee to green, great practice facility. If you have trouble hitting straight off the tee bring plenty of extra balls.

Course maintenance has significant impact on course conditions. Fairways are in horrible condition. Greens not much better. This is not time of year to play Quintero. Although in much better shape during winter, I would not recommend this course during summer maintenance period.

our group loves playing there, friendly staff, excellent facilities. We will be back.

I'll be back when the grass is green. While the fours has amazing contours, incredible views, and well kept greens, the brown fairways were the only downside. I know the turf has to change but this seemed more severe than that. Wish I could come back later this summer to give it a second chance.

Staff were great! Class all around, from the moment I arrived, a bit late due to GPS fail.

Fairways are horrendous. The greens were crusty and hard to read. I would not play this again until the bent grass fairways grow in.

This is my 3rd time playing here and even though it is way out in the middle of nowhere it is usually worth the ride....not when it is 110* apparently....they only have 3 or 4 "water stations" for the whole course....and the water that comes out is outdoor temp..not cooled off...so we got water that was over 100 degrees to drink...they did have an ice machine but one of them was broken so we were so dehydrated we had to drink the hot water..totally ridiculous for this caliber course....i would normally rank the course A- but after today drops to C+...several fairways were burnt out and i think we saw the ranger once so nobody to complain to...i would not play here in the summer ever again....all other courses i play have drinking water at least every 2 holes....

Weather was great, as it was a bit overcast and cloudy. They had aerifed the greens a couple of weeks prior to play, something that would have been nice to know ahead of time. Greens were a bit sandy, but nothing that was irritating to the point of demanding a refund. Course was immaculate and in tremendous shape. Yes, the drive to #1 takes a while, but soak it in, the scenery is gorgeous. If you're a hacker like me, take plenty of extra golf balls. Not much room for error off the fairways. Each hole in unique and several offer a "risk vs. reward" scenario. Several tee boxes for all skill levels. Try to carry, get your birdie. Lay up and settle for par. Nobody pushing or pulling us during our round. The only blemish was when my buddy asked about a voucher he purchased at a charity auction for a foursome which had expired. He asked the pro if he could use it during the summer and the pro was less than accommodating and dug in his heels saying there was nothing he could do. Straight up "no, it's expired". He wasn't asking to use the voucher in February or March. Luckily, my friend came across the managing partner on the course that day who overrode the pro's decision and allowed him to redeem the expired voucher for another round in the summer. The pro's attitude toward customer service could use some polishing up, but the MP set it straight. Will be back for sure.

Quintero was born to be an exclusive golf club but financial difficulties resulted in bankruptcy and the course being available to the public. The course is extremely well maintained and the facility is top notch.
Quintero is a combination of "postage stamp" greens, narrow fairways, and well placed hazards. Many of the fairways have slopes away from the center, and with the hard ground associated with summer , balls find their way into the well places hazards. Quintero rewards course management and punishes errant shots. The par 3's are all majestic views with shots requiring a carry -- a couple of par 3's requiring a carry over water.
The greens were a little rough from recent aeration but will soon heal. Even with the aeration marks they ran fast -- I would assume even faster once recovered.
Many of the sand traps are really micro rocks rather than sand (typical of many desert courses) but it looks like sand is being brought in for bunkers around the greens.
I would highly recommend Quintero for a challenging round and even if the golf goes bad the majestic views and wildlife will make an enjoyable experience.

This is a wonderful golf experience since the time you arrive to the end of your 18 holes. Every hole is a special moment and despite the challenge you enjoy the views around the course. I will go for more Quintero golf many times in the future and will mark this course among the top five in the entire Arizona. My wife and I have been playing golf all over the state of Arizona for the last ten years and this for sure will remain in our top selection. My only recommendation will be to have a more active ranger to move around the course.

The course was in great shape and as challenging as ever. The staff was awesome as always.

The greens had gone though summer treatment and we bumpy but this is to be expected. We were first out on the course and could not have enjoyed the day more. A real test of golf and a great location.
