The golf course at Red Mountain Ranch & Country Club is a beautifully designed layout set against a desert landscape with rock formations, mesquite trees, and cacti. Pete and Perry Dye designed the course, combining both beauty and challenge. This championship course was built on rolling terrain and has large, sharply contoured greens and extensive mounding that is reinforced with railroad ties. There are not only deep sand bunkers but also grass bunkers protecting the greens. There are also four ponds on the course at Red Mountain Ranch & Country Club, but only three create water hazards that come into play on four holes. A notable hole on the course in which water comes into play is the sixth, a hole that has a peninsula green with water surrounding it along three sides.

Great course

Greens a little slow, but otherwise course in excellent shape. Outstanding practice facilities, with the exception of no greenside bunker to practice from. Would give 5 stars but for those two issues. Will definitely play this course again when the opportunity presents!

Single player

Pared up with “three gentlemen” from Edmonton. Slow play, constant bickering and vulgar language spoiled my day. I finally left after the 15 hole as I couldn’t take any more.

Too Tricked Up!!

Pete Dye is known for his tricked up courses, with limited view of landing areas off the tee, giant undulations in the middle of the fairway, deep gullies all around the greens, and railroad ties everywhere! Well, this course is full of all of the above. Miss the fairway by a few yards, and there's a good chance you lose your ball. Way too tricked up to be considered a good golf course, especially in the Phoenix area. Dozens of WAY better courses to spend your $150 on, that will give you a more fair & enjoyable day of golf. Plus, they were just coming off the re-seeding outage, so the greens were painfully slow, and there were many wet & sloppy areas in the fairways. Go to Longbow GC just down the road for a MUCH better layout, nicer condition, and playable golf course! Get to the Legacy GC as well... much better!

What happened to the greens?? Play this course at least 5-6 times from November through March and they have never been this bad.

A nice Pete Dye course

I played early in the morning so the pace of play was great. I really enjoy the desert setting courses, challenging, but beautiful. The course had been recently over seeded so some greens were cut longer than others which added to the challenge. For me the back nine was more difficult than the front nine. I’d play the course again.

Great course

I haven't had the opportunity to play Red Mountain for over 20 years. Much has changed on the course over the years...a lot more houses and less desert views. However, the course hasn't really changed and it's still a treat to play! A great Pete Dye build!

Lots of diversity

Great track to get a mix of skill levels on. Quite a few fun holes with a variety of layouts to mix it up. I got out mid morning and didn’t have to wait on a single hole. Finished reseeding but still cart path only as of the day we played. Starter was super friendly and when I said it was my first time there he stopped me at the turn to ask how I was making out and get my thoughts on the course. Only bad experience was first thing at the pro shop, a woman cut me in line and then demanded they switch her tee time with another couple to get out with her friends in another slot… that’s not how tee times work, lady.

Course is pretty small and a little quirky but fun.

Course is very narrow and a little quirky but enjoyable. Pace of play was great for an afternoon tee time. Played in less than 4 hours.

One of the most challenging course in east valley !

Cart path only for the time being. The course is shaping up nicely for the fall season and better than most courses at this time of the year. Greens are getting faster too but still needs rolling. If you are a decent player, this course (from back tees) is about as hard as it gets in the east valley area - 144 slope rating ! Highly recommanded course for pro quality golf outing.

Diamond in the rough

Great layout. Just finished reseeding so art path only or pace of play rating would of been higher. Greens were a bit tricky with some faster than others (cut with different mowèrs). Tough to get a good read on them.
Would definitely play again. Good value for the money.

Red Mountain Ranch

Course is in great condition. Not very long but tight fairways and approach shots into the greens at times. Greens were a bit tall but not uncommon immediately after overseeding. Greens have a fair amount of undulation. Most greens are elevated so short game needs to be on if you're not hitting GIR.

Overseed rules and thick greens

With the new overseeding it was cart path only and the greens were so thick the putting was unfair.
