About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Desert
Par 70
Length 6016 yards
Slope 128
Rating 66.7

Rancho Manana Golf Club has one of the prettier courses in Cave Creek-Scottsdale, located high in the Sonora and combining vistas with testing golf. It offers a par-70 championship golf course laid out over elevations that change dramatically right up alongside the untouched desert and the indigenous wildlife that comes with that, as well as an old-school dude ranch that has been incorporated into the golf resort. Low-handicap golfers will be challenged by the golf course, but it's not so tough that other levels of golfer will be turned away.

The Rancho Manana Golf Club offers golf to the public and is conveniently located just 20 minutes off the highway.

After a round of golf at the Rancho Manana Golf Club, stick around for around and maybe some eats at the Tonto Bar & Grill, which has received several awards and is listed among Arizona's top 100 restaurants.

It’s a short course but still a challenge.

I enjoyed the course I had someone that plays it a lot but it’s may to pricey. It’s a $60 to $70 dollar course. I feel most courses have gone way up in prices sense Covid. So much for keeping golf affordable!!!

Beautiful course. Speed of play was slow. We tree off at 2pm and cart girl was ending her day, so figured we get some beverages on back 9…oasis closed….other 2some quit cuz no beverages available…we continued.. pro shop should inform you there is no beverage cart and that services close at 5pm - although we were there at 5pm and she was already closed. Also construction going on in pro shop and had plastic tarp down in entryway and I almost fell…no signage or caution up and they weren’t there when we started…

Love this course!

We had friends in town - the first place we thought of for their Phoenix golf experience with us. Small rattlesnake on Hole 3 - at cart path!
Great fun day at the course and dinner at Tonto Bar & Grill.
With this said…maybe the course should have snake bite antivenum available.
