Unlike many other Scottsdale courses, Kierland Golf Club's three nines sprawl across rolling hills without a single cactus in sight. The nines are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Mesquite/Ironwood Course is has player-friendly fairways that are generous and easy and the green are large but not particularly undulating or fast, which makes the golf course accessible to a range of different skill levels. The course isn't entirely forgiving though. The Mesquite nine may be the flattest of the three nines but it is also the toughest. The par-4 sixth is especially demanding. The challenges of Mesquite are balanced by the player-friendly nature of the Ironwood nine. There is some strategic mounding but overall the links design is very approachable. The golf course ends with its signature hole, a classic risk-reward opportunity with a lake to the right and sand traps to the left.

Great time

Four of us played from all different handicap levels and really enjoyed the course. The views, the variety of holes to play, and the condition of the course were great.

Nice Course - Overpriced

Course was in great shape. Greens rolled well (about an 11) however you can expect to pay premium pricing right now because all golf courses in the area have rates really high due to the Waste Management Open being in town last week.Not many tee times available so courses have pushed green fees way up. Its a good course but not a $300 per round course.

Fun time

Excellent condition. Fun layout. Played in just under 4 hours. We would have been close to 3 hours but the group in front was not letting faster groups through. Enjoyed the round. Staff was super friendly.
