Cave Creek Golf Course
About
Cave Creek Golf Course is Phoenix's most popular municipal course, seeing about 100,000 rounds yearly. In 1983, Cave Creek began as a landfill reclamation project. It's a sort of pioneer in environmental design, proving similar spots can find environmentally friendly uses. It's open dawn to dusk, year-round.
Eighteen holes of par-72 golf take golfers over 6,732 yards on the Cave Creek Golf Course, kicking off on the par-4 first hole, which measures 363 yards from the blue tees, before things get long on the second hole, which measures 510 yards from the blue tees. That's just one of four long holes, with the sixth hole measuring 532 yards from the blue tees, the 11th coming in at 521 yards from the blue tees, and the sixth having a distance of 518 yards from the blue tees. The round concludes after a suggested playing time of four hours and 10 minutes on the 18th hole, a par 4 that measures 388 yards from the blue tees.
The city of Phoenix has contracted with several hotel chains to offer stay-and-play packages for golfers at the Cave Creek Golf Course and other municipal tracks.

No Rain Check
On the second hole it started to rain and blow. It was in the low 50s so once we were wet it was very cold and miserable, the rain was getting worse, and the radar showed it wouldn’t clear for at least two hours. After 6 holes, I asked the clubhouse if I could have a rain check and I would come back Saturday. Denied! Six holes, freezing cold rain and miserable conditions, no rain check. $75 gone.
Will never play there again and I have already told two friends never to go there.
Cave Creek
Lots of walking between holes. Construction going on everywhere due to rain and other but not good signage to tell you if you were going the right way or in the right place. Lots of garbage in valleys alongside the rough. Ball washer water smelled like sewer. Three staff inside visiting and were told we had to go out and chase down ash cart.
Cave Cree
The course was in rough shape due to construction and rainfall. This is understandable at times, however the signage on where the next tees was very poor and left you guessing. Long walks between holes and a noticeable amount of garbage in the ditches along the edges of the course. Three staff sitting inside visiting while we were told we have to hunt down a walking cart and ask where the scorecards were kept. This place needs a do over. The water in the ball washers smelled like sewer.
Great value
Tee boxes, fairways and greens very good. Rough hasn’t grown in. Cart paths and tee boxes improved since last played last year.
Twilight Round
The course was in good shape and the reduced fees for playing afternoon made it very reasonable. we made it through 16 before the not so subtle transition from twilight to darkness occurred. Fairways were in great condition, Greens were a little fast with some challenging breaks. the only let down was the bunker conditions, they were hard packed.
Waste of time and money
Do not go by the pictures listed , this place is seems like your playing on a landfill . Your money will be better spent on the $12 courses in Sun City.
2 players and a cart=$100 here🤬
This course needs maintenance.
The actual course is decent and some holes challenging. The cart trails are like a goat track. Very rough. Greens and fairways were decent.
This course is decent.
The course is in decent conditions with some greens having some scars from poor treatment along with some tee boxes that are left a little long. Big issue was with taking flagsticks out before sundown, but the pace of play and people were nice. A decent course all-in-all.
Not good not horrible
Course condition was less than ideal. Fairways were green but outside of that it was a dog track. Greens were actually decent. Paid for a hot deal so I wasn’t too upset but I would never consider paying more than $20 to play here.
Thankfully only $50 to play
Layout is pretty good and the fairways and greens were in pretty good shape, however the tee boxes need to be leveled - how hard is that to do really? And it makes such a difference. I would have liked the course except for the wasteland that is in the center of the course and all the garbage that is visible including half submerged shopping carts. Really takes away from any charm the views offer!
