Rating 66.7

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.

Great course

One of the best I’ve played in the Greater Phoenix area.
Very pretty course. Lot of tight drives. Greens in good shape.
Watch out for Javelinas turning over the bins! 😂

Fun course well maintained

Lots of elevation, beautiful views, well maintained. Helpful staff. Reasonably priced. Great driving range and chipping area, and the best restaurant in Cave Creek. Our favorite golf course in AZ.

Slow play

Slowest round ever! Played Quintera 3 times last week. One round we had no one in front of us or behind us. It’s all about managing tee times, and keeping the bad players moving. Sorry, but they do neither here.
