Located next to several residential areas, the golf course at the Apache Wells Country Club was designed with seniors in mind. With that consideration, the course is mostly flat to make it an easily walkable. The course was originally only a nine-hole course but in 1966, Milt Coggins designed the back nine holes. Trees line many of the fairways and there is also a housing development that runs alongside the fairways. Water hazards also come into play on several holes. Being so close to a residential area, there are many out-of-bounds stakes on both sides. Apache Wells Country Club is open to the public from mid-April to the end of October.

Excellent value

Although this is a shorter course than most, it is a great value. I normally play from men's tees, but play from tips here. course in very good condition for late August, greens well kept and both fairways & rough are in very good shape. No beverage cart or open grill on Mon-Wed is the only issue I would state as undesirable. However, if you just want to play on a good course, this is a fine choice. Nice housing lines the course, so it is always a beautiful place to play. The course conditions have been handled very well in this ridiculous heat.

Disgusted with Starter

We hit excellent traffic and arrived at course before our tee time. Starter said he would announce our tee start which was strange since there were no other golfers anyplace. He required us to sit in the cart area on extremely hot day for 25 minutes before allowing us to proceed to the tee area. There were 2 cars in the parking lot when we finished.

Nice course for practice rounds

Forgiving course, great price. Fairways were decent, but greens still recovering from aeration. Very bumpy. Started behind a slow foursome who finished after 9 holes, finished round in 2:20. From the tips this course is lots of fun. Can't beat the summer green fees ($20).

A course that’s fun

We have enjoyed this course lately. We like the way the course is kept and enjoy the wide open fairways as well as the variance of par 3s, 4s, and 5s. We appreciate the restrictions in place because of the virus.

Still a gem

This course may now have the pristine features of other area courses but this is still a course you should play. Variety of holes and elusive length makes this a gem to play. Greens are still sand covered but players must still hit some quality approach shots to get there. Pace is great so you are able to play a fun fast round at a reasonable rate.

Fun Course - Great Greens

If you're looking for a challenging layout with multiple holes that require you to be precise, this isn't it. With that said, for $28 with a cart, I thought the course was well worth it. I had a lot of fun.

Greens were in amazing shape. Not lightning fast, but they rolled well.

Fairways were slightly hit and miss...they were recently aerated, but there was still full grass in most spots.

The course is short at 6000 yards, but it was fun. There is a ton of room off the tees, so you can blast away all day if you want, or hit irons I hit multiple different clubs to mix it up. There are 5 par 5s, but two of them are like 455...still fun though. Easy birdies, right?!

I played w my son, and another guy, and we finished in about 3 hours (teed off at 10a), so that was great.

I'll be back.

Nice course no amenities

Covid-19 reason for no amenities
The course was in good shape and the staff was friendly/helpful.
When it's over 100 out, some level of hydration needs to be offered. The ice machine for golfers was out of ice in one machine and the other not working...unacceptable in the heat. No drinking water on the course and no hospitality cart...you need one or the other or both!!
This is usually not an issue except for the Covid fiasco going on now!!
Thanks for being open and I'm glad I had my own water!!

Great Track to have a feel good round

Great Routing of holes
Has a few long par 4 and few short ones
The par 3 are all challenging.
Par 5's are reachable in two with two good shots.
Greens could be a touch faster.

Golf Now reservation

Made our reservation on Golf Now for Friday 8 am shot gun. When checking in, course claimed they had pulled off the Golf Now site three days prior and did not have room for us. There were several other golfers with same dilemma.
Very disappointed. Pro advised us to contact GolfNow for convenience fee refund, however we were never able to get past home page options to settle with GolfNow.
This course seems to really cater to their members during the open golf times.

Apache wells cc review

The course was in great shape and has a very golfer friendly layout. The pace of play was very good considering it was a shotgun start with a full field of players. The staff was very accommodating and got me on the course even though my golfnow reservation was not in their computer system or their teesheet
