Cave Creek Golf Course

About Cave Creek Golf Course

Tucked into the desert landscape north of Phoenix, this public track delivers solid desert golf without the premium price tag you'll find at the Scottsdale resort courses. The routing makes smart use of the natural terrain, weaving through arroyos and around desert washes that come into play more than you'd expect. The conditioning is consistently good for a muni, and the greens roll true – a pleasant surprise given the modest green fees. What sets this course apart is its authentic desert character without feeling punitive. Unlike some desert layouts that seem designed to eat golf balls, the design gives you reasonable bailout areas while still demanding respect for the native landscape. The 4.1 Google rating from nearly 600 reviews tells the story – this is a course that delivers on expectations without pretending to be something it's not. Walking is permitted, which is rare for desert courses, making it an even better value play for those willing to hoof it.
