The course at Stonecreek Golf Club has a traditional links-style layout that meanders through Paradise Valley, providing stunning mountain vistas to the south and west. The golf course has undergone several renovations since its opening and the result is superb round of golf in a beautiful setting. The hilly fairways and fast greens are immaculate and well manicured. Water hazards come into play on five holes. There are also bunkers strategically placed throughout the course. Stonecreek Golf Club also has convenient practice facilities including a putting green and chipping area. There is also a pro shop and professional golf instructors on the premises.

Needs work, but has a lot of potential

Fairways and greens were in good shape, but everything else was really rough. We were told that the flooding was tough on the course, but that could not have been the reason for all the weeds, mud, etc. We had a deal for 9 holes and the meal was included. The ladies in the restaurant were super nice and the food was excellent. All in all, not bad.

Course needs some work

The course isn't great. Staff was great unless you are in a hurry to get food at the turn. Lots of trash on the course, bricks in the way, lack of grass in many areas. The greens were nice, fairways decent but everything else needs a lot of work.

Slow play

They need a ranger on the course. The 3 guys in front of us on jan 17 said they were new to golf but hit from the tips and hit 2 balls off the tee on nearly every hole.

The starter spread people out well, we started on time and didn't go off until the group in front was on the par 4 green. But the first hole was the only one we didn't wait on. It was a v frustrating round and I won't go back, at least not for a long while.

What a rudely staffed dump

After being met with vacant stares upon our arrival, we were quickly scolded by a geenskeeper to hit range balls off a mat instead of turf, with no signs indicating that was the rule, and plenty of divots in the turf. Subsequently we were greeted with trash strewn fairway edges and a homeless encampment. Go anywhere else..

It's a budget course

There's ~15 other courses within 15 minutes, but you can't play ~12 of them for under $100. Several don't have the water hazards that Stonecreek has. For a budget course, it serves its purpose.

The tee boxes aren't in great condition - 15 was full of divots and dirt/sand. The rough is very patchy, although some spots had decent rough (holes 1-2, 8). Greens were average speed, people need to do a better job repairing ball marks and cleaning up in the sand. Decent amount of sand in the bunkers.

There's some challenge here. Lots of slopes around the greens. 4 holes with water on one side of the green. Front 9 took the driver out of your hands - didn't hit driver until hole 7. Many holes are tree-lined on the right side - if you slice you will lose balls.

No cart GPS, no water provided, no range balls provided, range is mat only. Range didn't seem very large, only about 15-20 stalls. No ball cleaners on the course. No towels provided. QR code didn't work for the grill at the turn.

The course is built on a wash, integrated with neighborhood walking paths. You will see a dozen people walking dogs, biking, exercising on the course. There's a bunch of trash in the ravine between holes 7-9. Tons of duck/goose poop on the 14th fairway.

u314161622535, thank you for your detailed review. It is not often that we get an honest, in depth, review of this caliber and it is very much appreciated. Good detail on the course and our amenities that we can absolutely work towards improving moving forward. We do provide 2 water bottles in the coolers of all our carts, and are on grass for the range Friday - Sunday. We did stay off the grass to start this year due to the heavy frost we experienced to protect our grass in the long run which I do apologize for on this inconvenience.
If there is anything I can assist with now or in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at jrosen@arcisgolf.com. Thank you. - Jeff Rosen, GM

Tee box accuracy mandatory

The fairways are tight and if you miss you will have a horrible lie. The grass is only manicured on fairways and greens. The rest of the course is a gamble the creek run alongside many holes and will swallow your ball with all the bush and tall grass surrounding it. The bunkers aren't too deep but they can be long and wide in most holes. The water comes in on 4 different holes. It you have a right-hand slice you will lose all your balls so bring plenty if you don't aim extra left all day. The ground is hard everywhere. Tee boxes to the greens. Lots of roll out, nothing sticks to greens unless you're playing short irons in w high spin ball. Good luck. Enjoy.

Good layout, bunkers horrible as well as greens pocked - no one fixes ball marks.

Good layout, challenging course but for price paid conditions of the course are sub par as well as the pace of play. Cave creek 1/2 the cost better greens.

Great course but not the cleanest

This is a great course - we played in Jan during a cold stint. The negative that I wanted to mentioned was that there was a lot of trash all along the course. The most concerning part was the homeless people in the woods in the CENTER of the course - not the outskirts. I would think that the center of the course, nestled in between apartments and homes, would be more controlled. There were several times I had to give up on a ball cause it wasn’t safe to try to look for it,

Anya13, thank you for your review. We are continuously working towards cleaning up the course. We are in a flood plane for the city and after a rain we have a team dedicated to clean up. I apologize for the trash during your round. We are also actively working with the city to help with the homeless you witnessed that has since been removed, but I do apologize for the inconvenience.

Would not play again

The course was in decent shape. However, it was overbooked. Pace was play was 5 hours. My wife and I couldn't finish because we didn't plan on spending all day on the course. We got 12 holes in in 4.25 hours. Absolutely ridiculous.

I wouldn’t golf stonecreek again.

Pace of play was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Tee time was at 2:36.. I personally didn’t get to tee off until at least 15-20 mins after because a whole old group of 5 looking at every shot like they are going throw a dart and just shank ALL over the place it was bad. 10-15 between each shot/tee box probably longer to be honest. Even better they put a 6 sum in front of them of just younger guys like myself but had no idea what there doing. Marshall comes up to my group of 3 hole #7 apologizes saying they put two really really bad groups in front keep in mind pace was a already almost 3 hours and if we want to skip a few holes ahead we can. I was already over it paying 73$ for this type of play. I was the only one playing 18 and told him I’ll just see if they can rain check me the other 9 he agreed and said they should no problem. I’m not one to go out my way to bash a business but it’s the fact the guy in the pro shop tried lying to my face saying they can’t rain check it because we’re on “PACE” of 4-4 1/2hrs lol I thought he was joking. People leaving right before me tee’d off at 11am its 5:15ish now but there on pace. It just felt like a pure rip off. Conditions are okay not horrible but not pure bumpy and super firm greens. So I’d be careful feels like there just stacking tee sheets overpriced letting people do whatever to keep income flowing. Worse experience I’ve had all year and I play a couple times a week scratch golfer. Unless you get a super hot deal or something cheap there’s so so many other courses that are PUUUURE and great pace. I should of at least been able to play 15-16 definitely finish with no hold up but instead I left on hole 7.

They don’t care

1. The driving range itees are a mess and not level, and the range balls old and and not included.
2. They don’t have ball washers on the course, they should provide towels. They don’t.
3. The tees are awful. They’re small and completely destroyed. If you are trying to stay within the two club distance of the markers, you will be standing in divots.
4. For hour and 40 minute round, enough said.
