Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold
About
If you come to Arizona to play desert golf, forget about Ocotillo. Ocotillo is a refreshing change of pace from most of the Valley's courses precisely because it isn't surrounded by desert.
The White Course is the most unique of the three. It has only one par 5, and the water is a factor on just five of the holes. But it also has the best hole on the property -- the 479-yard, par-4 ninth, which used to be an easy par 5 but is now a treacherous finishing touch.
The Gold nine is a devilish test and not just because water comes into play on six of the holes. The greens have a lot of slope in them and are difficult to read. And some pin placements are brutal; hit a downhill putt two feet past the
hole, and it might roll down into a swale and 30 feet by. Uphill putts, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to get to the hole, if for no other reason than Ocotillo's greens aren't as fast as some of the Valley's marquee desert courses.

Not worth the Time
I had read about how nice the course was in the past. It shows as 4 stars but A big disappointment. Fairways were in brutal shape and long. No GPS on carts and nothing marked on fairways but for a few 100 yd markers. Greens were slow and inconsistent. Bunkers were not raked and little to no sand, mostly dirt and sometimes mud.
Pace of play was very fast - because nobody was playing - hint. I think this was a nice course when first built but they’ve spent no money or effort in upkeep. Won’t play it again. Sorry.
Fun Track!
Course has a great layout with really fun greens will definitely play again for the right price! All courses in Arizona in my opinion are over priced but it’s definitely a go to for me nice course! Would like to see a Ranger once in a while, pace of play can be an issue on that course.
Rip off - DON'T GO
Range was closed
Blue course was cart path only with Long grass and slow greens
White Course was cut for over seeding (Fairway and Greens) with no water as they let the summer grass die, so we basically played on dirt .
With no notification at booking!!
Overseeding
Blue course was great. White course was dry and almost unplayable. I would wait a few weeks before playing here to allow overseeding to mature.
Way over priced for this time of year, why charge full price while course is being prepped for overseeding? Course was in terrible shape and paid $130 …… ridiculous.
Thank you for the 5 star review!
Thanks for your feedback.
Thank you for your rating, and we hope to see you back again soon.
Good, but not worth the price
The rough was too high, we couldn't find a bill that went into the rough. We are not playing the US Open. One teebox had so much goose turds we couldn't even tee off. There were a lot of tree branches that had fallen off and just laying on the sides of the course. For this price, I expect much better.
We are sorry we did not meet the expectation we have set for our club, please return and give us another shot. Our management team will be reaching out shortly.

Great round
We played a great round. The greens had a good feel. The fairway was great. The rough was thick. Great shot placement course.
Thank you for your feedback. We glad you enjoyed your round.
Don’t Play Here Solo
They will make you share a cart with a random. So awkward! Rude staff and not worth the money. Pathetic!!
Thank you for the feedback, I will be reaching out to you via email to find out where we went wrong on your visit.
