Diamond in the Desert

I was blown away by the condition of this course. There was 3 spots on the whole course that were not perfect grass. All 3 of them were marked as ground under repair. Most courses are not even this good in the winter. at $25 after 10 am, this is a steal to play. I would have been very happy at 2 times the price with those conditions. The greens rolled true and I was shocked at how well they held on a 109deg afternoon.

The staff was amazing and so accommodating. They treat everyone like they are a member. I wanted a sandwich at the turn. They did not have any pre-made, so they brought it out to me once it was done. Amazing service. I am playing this course again on Thursday and will play a few more times this summer.

WALK THIS COURSE

I just got my rear end kicked by Quintero yesterday. I wanted a quick easy nine to regain some confidence before I threw all of my clubs away. :) This course was in excellent shape, except for the greens. The Tee boxes were mostly flat and had good grass. The fairways were in great shape (better than Quintero). The greens were smooth and had great grass. They were just incredibly shaggy!! Like putting on my living room carpet.

The only issue I really had was hat the round was not a bad price. $8.50 for 9. The cart, on the other hand..... $10. Then I finished my round in 45 min. I asked if I could play another nine. I was told that it would be an additional $6 for another nine. Ok no prob. But, If I wanted the cart still, it was another $10. That would have made it $34.50 for 18 holes. WOW!!! They also did not allow any warm up balls for free either. It was another $4 for that. All in all, I paid $22.50 for nine holes that are so short, I finished in 45min.

They need to reevaluate there pricing and they would have a whole lot more people playing. Not many people want to walk, even a short course, in 109 temps.

Lacking the ammenaties of a course of its stature.

This is by far, the most beautiful layout I have played. The course is laid out in the mountains and is absolutely picturesque. The condition was not great, but it was 110 deg and for the middle of the summer, it is still pretty good. There were some issues with the condition though. In one sand trap, I actually got my club hung up on the under liner while hitting my shot. That is just poor maintenance.

The major issue I had with the course is the fact that there is no food and water at the turn. If you do not want to drive the 5-10 min back to the clubhouse, and you make the turn after 1pm, you are out of luck. The water out of the machines was hot, and the ice machines were out of ice. The driving range has no distance markers and the markings on the cart paths are confusing at best. We got lost 3 different times. The beverage cart also stopped running about 2pm. We were out there on an island after that. No water, no ice, and no food. 110 deg... Great day!!!!

When we got back to the club house after a 5 hour round, we were greeted with a closed pro-shop, no one to unload carts and an overall ghost town. Very disappointing for a $60/person round. The only saving grace is that we got there Sunday 2 for 1 special. Only cost us $33/person. If I paid $60, I would be livid.

Thank you for coming out to play Quintero. Stay tuned for information about our next Customer Appreciation day July 24th! The rate is also $30 that day. Quintero has many more amenities in the traditional Arizona season. It is very difficult to maintain all the services when the typical summer guest does not buy lunch at the turn and does not spend money at our facility other than the green fee which includes practice balls. I agree there should be more opportunities for water. We will address that issue. Please join our email club at www.quinterogolf.com

Great Time in the wind

We really enjoyed this course. The greens did not look great, but they held well and were very fast. The fairways were 90% good. The only issue we had with course condition was some sort of rutting that was done in the roughs. If you missed the fairway in many areas, the lie was unplayable. This was interesting since we were playing in 25-30mph winds. We were one of the very few groups on the course, due to the weather. That also affected the Beer cart. She only came around 1 time the whole round. The round actually took us longer than 4 hours, however, that is due to the weather not the course or the management of it. We never waited for anyone in front of us, and no one waited on us. Again, it was fairly empty. The course as a whole is great. It is a bit short, but they try to keep you from reaching the par 5's. You will hit a lot of wedges into the par 4's though. 250 yard drive and 95 in from there was pretty regular.
