Although there are many other desert golf courses in the Phoenix area, Apache Creek Golf Club offers one challenging championship course that requires the use of every club. The golf course features wide open fairways and undulating greens that are sloped back to front, some are also double-tiered. There are also numerous sand and grass bunkers protecting the fairways and greens. Extensive mounding on the course cause uneven lies and water hazards come into play on a few holes. The most difficult of the several demanding holes on this golf course, is the lengthy par-5, 10th hole. Apache Creek Golf Club also boasts two practice greens, a pitching and chipping green with a sand trap, and a large driving range with various targets.

I like this course!

Stay in the fairways! You can score well, IF you can keep the it in the fairway! Greens are on the fast side, with a lost of contour. I like that! Pace of play is usually 4 hour rounds, but the two of us played in 3 hours! This time of year is great! The cost now is very reasonable. Will be back quite often.

Priced too high for location.

Currently, greens are patchy. Grass around the greens may be the best part of the course, but the fairways are terrible. Quite often it feels like one can get thrown from the cart as the “cart paths” are in horrendous shape. People start on whatever hole they want, faster players or groups never get through. Course uses the ‘surge’ pricing model and fleeces customers all day. It’s not worth it.

Great greens

The greens were good sized with undulation. The fairways were a little thin in spots, but improving. This is a nice course and will play again.

Can afford to play

Easy to find. Easy check in. Clean carts with sand bottles and ball/club washers. Water for us at start. Water buckets for towels. Some of tees need serious leveling especially on the par 3’ s. Fairways pretty good. Roughs with sparse grass. Lots of desert. Bunkers have some dirt. Greens have been pretty good this year and generally not straight. Played in 4:10. Can’t take carts to car. Sometimes hard to turn left out of driveway late in the day

Fairly decent place to play

Easy to find. Easy check in. Prices have remained affordable. Carts cleaned and with ball and club washer and sand bottles. Water for us at start. Water buckets for towels. Number of tees are fairly uneven. Fairways pretty good. Roughs with some grass. Lots of desert. Bunkers with dirt that is generally playable played in just over 4 hours. Can’t take carts to car. Seems like less people playing all ready. Sometimes difficult to turn left out of driveway late in the day
