Cave Creek Golf Course

Course was in fair playing condition. Tee boxes need some TLC. Fairways were OK, though a little sparse in grass density in places. Sand traps needed more depth of sand and deep racking. Greens were in good shape and fair speed, though many ball marks needed to be repaired. Rough was thick in places and absent grass altogether further from fairway. Pace of play was terrible at 5 hours, with delays at nearly every shot. Ranger was present, but saw no attempt by him to improve the situation. Value of round would have been good had proper pace been maintained. Slowest round I’ve experienced in a long time.

Course layout was nice…lots of room. A few doglegs but most straight away. Tee blocks were so so. Greens are large but flag placement doesn’t seem to vary as you could see 5 or 6 old holes within 6 feet of the hole.Didn’t see a Marshall the whole day so almost 5 hours to play. Some par 3’s had 2 groups waiting to tee when we got there. I wouldn’t recommend or return unless I heard they fixed the situation

Scale of 1-5
Greens - 4
Fairway's - 4
Pace of play - 2 no real marshaling pace was 4.5 hrs+
Hole 6 has one sign to its location, kind of wonky for a first time player
Cart GPS was not turned on, there is a switch near the to in front of the cart

This is a great public course, the only thing missing is cart paths.

In great shape, great layout and challenging but fun to play.

The course was pretty good. The greens were slow but nice, just slow. The fairways were good but if you got off the fairway there was very little grass. Overall it was good, nothing really stood out.

Welcoming staff. Fun course. One of few courses in area that was not cart path only.

I play a round at Cave Creek every November on Vacation. This year the course was in much better shape. They cleared out all the trees and shrubs in the canyon. Much more appealing and you might be able to find a ball if you hit one there. Greens rolled true and were a perfect speed. Well Done City of Phoenix!

Nice course to play. Wide open and straight for the most part, but you still need to place shots to score. Greens are small and some have a good deal of slope. My wife found it a bit long at 5600 yards off the front tees.
Some fairways had some bare spots, but overall in good shape. Greens were in very good shape as were the sand traps. It is exposed so the wind will definitely affect play. Carts all have GPS and were in good shape.
Pace of play was a bit slow, but we were playing behind a couple of new golfers. So hard to tell if that was normal. It is a municipal Golf course so it draw a lot of new players.

This course is a good value and can be more or less challenging depending on the flag placements. Some of the greens have a lot of slope in certain areas and if the put the flag there there can be significant break to the puts. Course was in real good shape and pace of play was pretty good on this day.

The courses general condition was much more “rough” than expected. The fairways were just average for a “public” golf course, and the greens were slightly better. The cart paths were very rough and in many places nonexistent. The price to play, I would say is on the high side.
