Rancho Manana Golf Club
About
Rancho Manana Golf Club has one of the prettier courses in Cave Creek-Scottsdale, located high in the Sonora and combining vistas with testing golf. It offers a par-70 championship golf course laid out over elevations that change dramatically right up alongside the untouched desert and the indigenous wildlife that comes with that, as well as an old-school dude ranch that has been incorporated into the golf resort. Low-handicap golfers will be challenged by the golf course, but it's not so tough that other levels of golfer will be turned away.
The Rancho Manana Golf Club offers golf to the public and is conveniently located just 20 minutes off the highway.
After a round of golf at the Rancho Manana Golf Club, stick around for around and maybe some eats at the Tonto Bar & Grill, which has received several awards and is listed among Arizona's top 100 restaurants.

One of the best
Really enjoyed playing rancho manana. Course was perfectly maintained. Ton of fun golf shots. Target golf for sure. Beautiful scenery and a great spot to have lunch afterwards. Everything you’d want out of a golf outing.
Best golf club in Cave Creek
Always enjoy playing this coarse, great views and friendly staff, grounds were in great shape!
Splendid course the
Didn’t know what to expect, but my wife and I had a wonderful time. New to desert golf, played We-ok-pa a few days prior. We actually liked this hidden gem a little better, if that says anything. Some long par 3’s, and shorter but challenging par 4’s and a few 5’s, all was good. Not to mention it’s a bit cooler up in that area, vs down in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. As a bonus, a really nice on site restaurant called The Groto. Lunch was delicious, service was great too. Yup, we’d go back!
Tee boxes beat up
The tee boxes were in horrible shape and so hard you could not put in a tee and huge divots even on part four boxes. Layout is fun but hard to ignore the really bad things.
Great views and Course setup
Really enjoyed the beauty of the course layout into the terrain. I think its just enough elevation where your ball seems to fly a little further. The uphill/downhill shots are so much fun. We ended up at Tonto's next door after the round and it was awesome to enjoy an early dinner watching golfers hit into the par 3. We'll definitely be back.
Slow Play
Took our threesome 4:57 to play the round. Tee times are too close together.
Tee boxes are rough as well as a few greens. The 11th green is damaged from equipment damage. The cost per round is too high even for this time of the year.
Still a nice course and great views.
Great course and fantastic layout
This course is always one of my favorites. Prime time may be pricey but you can get tee times that give you value for you money. The course was in perfect condition as were the greens. Always try the Caesars from the drink cart. They are the best spicey Caesars in Scottsdale/Phoenix! We enjoyed our day immensely.
A hike in the hills
This course requires a cart, but is not overly long, and inventively designed up, down and thru the hills. Beautiful views from the higher elevations. Numerous holes have substantial directional and elevation changes. The greens were in good shape, firm but relatively slow. With the elevation changes, some wouldn't hold the approach shot. The glaring negative was a significant lack of sand in the green-side bunkers. Overall, You need a modicum of golfing skill to play this track or it will cost you a fortune in lost balls. The course was in good shape, good pace of play, the weather was great and we did have fun.
Beautiful vistas especially on front nine. Fairways are quite nice. Tees are beat up. Greens are very slow. Virtually no sand in green side bunkers. Could be a gem with a little more work and attention.
Rancho Manana
I thought a bit gimmicky. Fairways close together with a number of blind spots. ( saw a lady hit in head). Knowing the course would mitigate these some. Would play again if opportunity presents.
Great views
The views on this golf course are great. You see the surrounding Cave Creek area with all of it's hills and mountains. The course is extremely short. The rating for the white tees are 64. Difficulty is increased due to very narrow tee boxes that, on some holes, felt like an afterthought. Overall I enjoyed playing this course for the first time, but I would probably not return if I was looking for somewhere to play in the Phoenix area.
Beautiful course
Nice weather and a beautiful course. Course was in good shape and especially;;y the first nine holes have beautiful; views. It was a pleasure playing there ! The only issue was pace of play. There was no ranger in the course to speed up flights in front of us.
Overall a great day.
Beautiful course, lacking a marshall
We had a beautiful day on the excellent course of Rancho Mañana. Course was in great condition the only problem was pace of play. A marshal would help a lot to speed up the play. There was one group in front of us that did not know the rules and they played several balls and it took them forever. As a result groups piled up behind us. This can be prevented by an active marshal. Other than that I certainly recommend this course!
Nice layout
Very nice. Target golf. Too many Par 3. Overall very nice.
Extreme Delays
Great course, but extremely backed up on Sunday afternoon. 2 hours 30 minutes to play 8 holes, then we quit due to number of players waiting on #9.
