Quintero Golf Club sprawls across the high Sonoran desert, bordering Lake Pleasant. It is tucked away in the Hieroglyphic Mountains, but still conveniently located less than an hour northwest of Phoenix. Acres of protected Federal Lands surround the course, further enhancing its secluded feel. Rees Jones and Steve Weisser designed the golf course.
Quintero Golf Club sprawls across the high Sonoran desert, bordering Lake Pleasant. It is tucked away in the Hieroglyphic Mountains, but still conveniently located less than an hour northwest of Phoenix. Acres of protected Federal Lands surround the course, further enhancing its secluded feel. Rees Jones and Steve Weisser designed the golf course. He deftly incorporated the rolling hills and valleys as well as hundreds of native cacti and trees including Saguaro, Ocotillo, and Acacia. The dramatic elevation changes guarantee that a flat lie is hard to find. The course is undoubtedly a formidable test but with as many as nine tees per hole, it is accessible to a wide range of skill levels. Quintero G.C. is popular not only for the quality of the design but also for the scenery provided by the mountain views on every hole and the lush landscaping.
by Joe on July 29th, 2023 04:34The course is a unique layout, that’s where the positives stopped for me. The bunkers were rock filled and fairways had significant dead patches. The marshal was a real piece of work who lacked good judgement and was just rude and aggressive.

by Chris Spaulding on May 02nd, 2021 12:51The course was great. The staff, especially that Ranger guy, Joe from Chicago made our day. NOT your typical Marshall. The food was also pretty nice. Practice range one of the best. Greens were very fast, but once you get used to them, true and FAST!
by Greg McManis on February 07th, 2020 14:50Excellent golf course, excellent service.
by Chloe Brown on August 20th, 2018 14:48Best golf course in Arizona! It is the perfect mix of a fun challenging golf course and the desert landscape is hard to beat. A group of my friends and I stayed at the luxury condos on property and had a private chef make the most amazing food. Truly an amazing experience overall.
by Myron La Duc on October 31st, 2017 08:46FALSE ACCUSATION OF SHOPLIFTING!!!! I used to love this place. My foursome wanted to golf at We Ko Pa, but I insisted on showing off Qunitero. What a mistake!!! After the 15 minute drive to the practice area/first tee we had played the first hole and had just hit our approach shots on Hole 2 when I was rudely asked to return to the clubhouse. Not my foursome, just me - and they wouldnt tell me why!! So I drove all the way back in HIGH ANXIETY. They then proceeded to falsely accuse an elderly man in my party of shoplifting a divot tool when in truth he took a business card that was placed beside the cash register. Another 15 min drive out to return to my party and now all of our rounds had been ruined. ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!!! The guy that came to get me from the course was SO RUDE!!! So, $400 of golf wasted and they didnt even stick around to apologize after our round!!! I am SO SO SO embarrassed and disappointed. We will NOT be returning to Quintero - truly SAD!
by craig Nelson on September 22nd, 2017 20:52Would not play there again. Staff was wonderful but the course was not in very good shape and every hole feels like your playing uphill except the par threes that all drop about sixty feet from tee to green. Was expecting it to be in better shape for the price.
by Max Power on August 10th, 2015 16:48Well worth the drive from anywhere in Phoenix. Amazing desert views. Terrain was immaculate. Staff was courteous. Reading older reviews, yes, the greens are fast. Fairways are in great shape. You won't be able to pick out a favorite hole; they're all awesome. I like the par 3's that drop in elevation. Fun! I didn't get a chance to hit the range but for maybe a minute. I think their range balls are better than any other club in AZ. Course plays about 4 hours and you do get cell phone reception! Played 8.7.15.
by Elliot Lewis on April 12th, 2014 14:00Well worth the drive! Best conditions in the Phoenix area.
by john kelly on May 27th, 2013 11:40Outstanding golf course. From practice facility to fairways to greens,this is a private club experience and stunning golf course. Well worth the trip from whereever you are coming from in the Scottsdale area.
by Dr Gene Jones on July 10th, 2012 19:55Course is good Long ride from work worth it but Pro Candice is. a liability should be replaced with someone who has class and brains to enhance the club. All my friends agree
by Zach on February 15th, 2012 21:01Would rate higher if possible. Great course. VERY DIFFICULT. Had a great time though. Greens are stupid fast, and fairways are perfect. Hardly any houses and in the middle of nowhere. The only downside was our phone didn't get service when we were on the course,
