Great course but tough to play when windy !

Beautiful course in excellent condition. Very organized and friendly staff. Clearly a well run facility. Well stocked pro shop. Practice range was very good also. Greens were very tricky but in very good condition and ran true. Never saw a mower but course was immaculate. Very tough to play on a windy day like today but this is a great course and the people there are doing a great job !

Worth the money

The course was in fantastic shape. Greens were bent grass and fast and true. Lots of undulations And held the shot in very well. If you hit a bad shot you will pay. The views were amazing.

Must Play

Have been playing golf for almost 50 years and have played over 350 different courses and this is as good as it gets

Staff - friendly, informative from the bag drop , pro shop , starter and ranger

Tee boxes - perfect , grass is tightly mown, level
Fairways - - perfect
Bunkers - only was in 2 green side , they were perfect

Greens - bent grass , rolled true and at a good speed. They are large and undulated

Layout - lots of elevation changes

Pace of play - threesome 11:00 time , finished in 3:50 playing behind several 4somes

There are a few blind shots so if you are lucky to play with someone that played the course ask questions

While quite the drive from Phoenix , at $145 in January this is worth every penny

Great course, must play

Troon knows how to treat golfers. It was a beautiful day and the course was great. The course is difficult with several par 3s a little long for we recreational golfers. Keep up the good work. Thank you

Unbelievable, beautiful, wonderful course

I play two or three times a week I'm a 14 handicap I have not played on greens this nice since I was in Hawaii! The bent grass greens look fake! They are beautiful they are full, they are smooth, they roll perfectly! It was worth the drive from Phoenix. I love Quintero but these greens are nicer than Quintero or Grayhawk or Stadium Course Scottsdale. This is a must play course!

Amazing condition

I feel like I’ve played a lot of courses and I’d say the condition could be some of the best I’ve played. At times it felt like I was at Augusta National. Absolutely pristine conditions. It was a bit of a drive from Scottsdale but was well worth it. We played TPC Scottsdale stadium course the day before and Wickenburg was just as fun with better conditions.

Great course with some caveats

We had passed on Wickenburg Ranch in previous years because it's quite a long way out of Phoenix, but decided to finally go for it this year. Our expectations were high, and in the end our experience was mixed.

On the upside, the views are fantastic throughout, with elevated teeboxes allowing you to soak it all in; the conditions were superb from tee to green, showing great care is taken to keep the course in top shape, and the staff was very friendly from bag drop all the way to the end.

The biggest caveat was probably the noise level; unfortunately the course is setup such that you hear all vehicles using the nearby service roads, as well as ongoing construction of houses; not sure how much can be done about those, but it does make the experience less peaceful, which is what you would expect when going this far out of the city.

Another thing of note is design issues on a few holes, creating several blind or semi-blind shots along the way. The biggest offender is probably the par-5 9th, where you won't see the green until you are about 70 yards in; with a great view looking back from the top, it feels like a wasted opportunity for this hole to be somehow turned around.

Short of some major rework on those holes, an in-cart GPS seems like it would be a welcome addition, especially given the price of admission, and would help alleviate these issues.

We really wanted to like the course, and we still had a great time; but considering the aforementioned issues, the trek and price, we probably won't go back.

Dear GolfLeo,

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your experience. I do apologize for any outside noise that you may have experienced, this is definitely not the norm. It is a challenging but fair design, which we feel our aiming posts help in guiding you around the course. Although we don't have GPS on the carts, we do offer yardage guides, which assists with holes with somewhat blind approaches such as #9. Despite these inconveniences, we do hope you enjoyed the course, which is in immaculate condition as you mentioned, as we hope to see you again in the near future.

Best Conditioned Public Course in Arizona

The course was perfectly maintained. Tee large tee boxes were perfectly square and level. Greens were pure. This course isn't easy, but it has the widest landing areas from the tee of any desert course in AZ. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Truly spectacular

It is kind of sad that a lot of folks from Phoenix and Scottsdale think that this course is too much of a trek for them. This is a true gem of a golf course, the layout is one of the best I have ever played and the condition is top notch. With elevation changes and several semi-blind shots, Wickenburg Ranch will make you work off the tee. The greens are large and they all rolled true for us on this day.
We just played six courses in the area in six days on a buddies trip and this course was in the top two alongside Quintero. Also, the service here was over the top, especially the bartender Mo, she will surely make you laugh. If you’re planning a trip to Scottsdale suck it up and make the hour long drive to this course, you won’t be sorry.

Dear BostonGolfTraveler,

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your recent visit with us. The picturesque drive to Wickenburg Ranch is calming before the challenging but fair test that Wickenburg Ranch provides.

Great time - worth the drive.

The course is in great shape. It just recently came out of overseeding. The greens were soft, but oddly fast. There were hardly any blemishes on the greens. They looked like a carpet. The fairways were all green and full. This is a beautiful course. It is not an easy course. You need to control your shots, or you will end up in trouble. This is a fun and interesting course. I had a great time. Well worth the drive to get here. We played in about 4 hours. The carts have a cooler with ice on them as well as a ball washer and club cleaner. which makes it very handy.

Nice course

first Time playing this course , overall the course was very good ... fairways were maintained , and greens were firm and fast . My only complaints are they did not have gps in carts , and the pro shop did not offer course play books , making this course very hard to play ...as many of the holes are “blind” shots . We would have enjoyed course more if the carts were equipped with gps . Nevertheless, I would play this course again .
