Quintero Golf Club

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

ne off the best courses in az love the elevations and the wild life GREATCOURSE

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The overall day was very good
They need to have better food and beverage at intersection of practice / 1st/10 th hole areas
Something permanent

The cart guys kept saying this is the best course in Arizona. In my opinion it is NOT however it could be if they would simply speed up the time it is taking to resolve the terrible bunker conditions. You must avoid the green side bunkers at all cost. I suggest you get a zero bounce 58*-60* wedge if you want any chance out of them. Most greens were very nice but a few had to many old ball marks. A very fun and hard course. I would be happy to go back. Great par 3's Great Views. Worth the drive.

Excellent price thru Golf Now. Awesome Staff (friendly and helpful). Very Challenging course, food was excellent at the turn, awesome elevation holes. Pace was a little slow due to 1 person (in the group of 3) in front of us. Not for your average player, a long drive from Scottsdale but should be played at least once if your visiting the Phoenix area.

Perfect weather played from tips.

Good driving range, but you have to drive 5 mins on slow golf carts to get to it from parking area. Putting green too sloped to judge speed of greens.

Excellent GPS marked to the pin.

Every shot from tee to green is a postcard picture. Most beautiful course in Phoenix area.

Must play over and over and over.

My son and I played this course because we had heard good things about it. In every respect it lived up to its billing. It is a fabulous layout, well maintained and in excellent shape. The staff are superb and obviously well trained in customer service. The course is very challenging but fair. It was a treat to play. Although the course is located a bit further away than many it is well worth the drive. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
