Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold

This place reminds me of playing in the Midwest. Different than most desert courses here in Az. Lots of water. Just hit your targets. Only a couple of places that hazards are not obvious. If anyone in your group has played it a couple of times they can tell you where to avoid. Tee boxes and fairways in great condition. Traps could be better with a little grooming, but there is sand in them, just a little heavy after then rains earlier in the week. Greens were good. Look at your line and maybe fix a divot or two that previous players left. Used to love this place when it was run by Troon. Mickelson's group really let it go down hill. Forgot the group that owns it now, but thank you for bringing this back to a good place to play!

Ocotillo is quickly becoming one of my favorite courses on the valley. There are 3 different 9 hole courses and each is difficult and unique in its own way. Not your typical boring course where you just hot driver and 7 iron on every hole. You will hit every club in your bag. You’ve got to approach holes with a game plan and hit different clubs to set yourself up for success. Conditions were good and greens were true. Only complaint is that the sand is very very inconsistent. Some bunkers are rock hard with no sand at all….

The course fairways were ok for the most part, several of the greens and fairways were coveted with droppings from ducks and geese . The bar/restaurant staff was more interested in talking among themselves then serving the customers. The food was limited and tasted terrible..

Hope this will be allowed because I have actually booked through Ocotillo's site rather than Golf Now the last 4 times over the last two weeks. I felt I needed to post because some of the reviews read on here are unfavorable to the pre4sent conditions, I have seen this course great and horrible over the last 20 plus years. But let me assure you that many of the sand traps now have real sand in them making an instant upgrade to the course. Yes, the greens are pelted with fixed divots but that is not the course's fault, that is the lazy golfer's fault. But lastly, I wanted to say the course is beautiful and the layout is almost a one of a kind here in the valley. I would not pay 100 plus for it but that is just me. I play the twilight prices for 45/50 after 2 o clock. Again, the course is playing awesome, especially compared to when Phil Mickelson owned it a few years back.

Sand traps need wor,.was in better shape one year ago!

The course has a great layout. Very picturesque. Lots of water hazards. But the greens were very pick-marked. Apparently no one who plays here knows how to fix a ball mark. Most of the bunkers were in poor condition: grass 2 inches long in fairway bunkers, rocks the size of golf balls in the sand. For this price level I expected better.

Ocotillo golf course has really fallen off as a premier course. The sand traps had little or no sand in them or were overseeded badly with rye grass. The tee box markers were rusted so badly it was hard to no what color they were. The greens were peppered with unrepaired ball marks and the fairways had many divots as well. I was incredibly disappointed in the condition of this once premier course!

I really look forward to playing here but for me, it's a bit more than I usually spend...a "treat", right? I was disappointed at the overall conditions... somewhat shaggy fairways and rough, amateurish cup-cutting and repair of old holes on the greens and bunkers that need attention. I paid for prime conditions but that's not what was delivered. I'm coming back but not till the rates drop.

This course is one of my favourites. I like taking my friends that have come down to Arizona for the first time down here to play it. Beautiful scenery and top notch golf course. Great value for your money and excellent staff.

Can't book a specific combination of 9 courses because "they don't know" what the layout is until the day of.... can't practice for tournament round.

The practice range was closed. Not sure why the course is open to play but range is closed??

Starter had an attitude when we were teeing off, terrible start to the round.

Also, not sure why you would start the sprinkler right next to the tee box, completely soaking the carts/golf bags
