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.

Pro Shop

I was very surprised and disappointed. When I arrived I noticed there was only one car aside from myself. I checked in with the Pro Shop. He said I will be playing with another twosome that was not there. I waited several minutes and I loaded my bag into the cart. thought I’d go ask the Pro Shop attendant if I could tee off right now since no one was ahead of me and I’d like to beat the heat. He responded, “if you want to beat the heat you should move to Alaska. Wow, very rude. He reluctantly said I could go ahead and go out. My day started on this sour note unfortunately. There is too much other courses out there to be treated so rudely. So, have to think twice about visiting again

A bit frustrating!

We were aware that a few holes were under construction, but unaware that they were aerating some of the fairways. Once they start poking holes in the ground the roll of the ball stops and the tractors created a lot of dust. Normally the course is in good shape, but it was challenging the day we played....We asked if they would give us a comp but to no avail!

First Time Playing

Pretty great for our needs

We are visiting the area and wanted to get in a quick round of golf. We really prefer 9 holes and we aren't keen on getting paired up with other golfers. We like to play at a quick pace as we don't take ourselves too seriously and scramble a lot and have no need for a scorecard. Given these factors, this was a pretty perfect place for us. We played our 9 holes in an hour and a half and didn't see a single other soul on the course. It was peaceful out there and the course seemed to be in good shape.

My only complaint was about rental clubs. We arrived needing rental clubs for our twosome of female golfers. We inquired about sharing a set because we will scramble most of the time and were told they didn't allow that. Okay, fine. However, as it turns out, they only have one set of ladies rental clubs (which were pretty nice Cobras) and then gave us a senior men's set because the flex is comparable. That is true, but the length isn't as we are neither tall ladies. So, we paid for two sets and shared one anyway. It was only $25 fee per set so not worth arguing over but pretty disappointing to be required to rent two sets of ladies clubs only for them not to even have two sets. Odd for sure.

It was still a good choice for our needs and glad we played.

Stay Away From This Course

Course was in good shape. Staff we the most unfriendly people I have ever had to be around. Golf shop staff were so rude we almost just canceled but we're told if we did they would charge us anyway.
Made the turn at 1058am. Restaurant opens at 11am. We went in and asked for a hotdog and were told were do not open until 11am. (This was at 1058am) we said cool we will wait 2 minutes. We were told if we wanted to eat then we would forfeit the rest of our round. All over 2 minutes.

Unreal how this place treated us. Spent 260 to play the as a foursome and they were so rude and unfriendly. So to sum it up we were told 2 times we could forfeit our 260 and still got no food. Will never return and will tell everyone I know this story as it is 100% accurate.

Daniel - We apologize for your experience. If you could provide me some additional information I would appreciate it. Our restaurant is open beginning at 7:00 am everyday and 9:00 am on Sundays. In addition, the $260 rate doesn't fit into our rate structure for a foursome so I am curious as to when you played. Please let me know if you would by reaching out to me at jlarscheid@pga.com or by calling the Golf Shop at 480.830.4725 and I will definitely look into it. Thanks.

Perfect weather
Used cart

The course is in great shape. The fairways are a plush green and the rough is not too long. The greens are faster than I expected considering it is not too many days since over-seeding.

Wide Open Fairways

AWGC was in generally good playing conditions today. Tee boxes were a little shaggy, fairways trimmed nicely, rough was rough, and greens were slow and bouncy (likely still recovering from aeration awhile ago). Sand traps appeared in good shape (though I escape all of them). Was able to complete my round in less than 3.5 hours, walking. Overall experience was good.
