Rancho Manana Golf Club

We’ve played here before and knew if we wanted to finish we couldn’t start much after 12:00. We got a 12:12 tee time and unfortunately, Mother Nature threw a little frost on the course that morning. We got out at about 12:30 and finished the front nine at 3:15. Fortunately the pace picked up a bit and we finished before dark at around 5:30. Fortunately, the views while you are waiting are great. The greens are firm but in good shape. The tee boxes need some TLC. The price of golf in the Scottsdale area is high but this one may be a little over priced.

Course was in great shape. Narrow fairways prioritized accuracy over length. Greens were fast and true

One warning. We had a 2 hour frost delay. Make sure you check that when playing in the winter months

Enjoyed golfing there. Narrow tee boxes makes sure you are straight off he tee.

RM was in superb condition, as usual. The pace wasn’t great, but that is expected in the afternoon the week of Christmas.

Great time.at Ranch Manana!!! Beautiful scenery!!!

Though some will sniff that this is a short course by the score card yardage, it is a good challenge for any level of golfer. Some of the par 4s will even be drivable by those who hit 250-yard+ tee shots. I would simply suggest that you go ahead and put it on the green with the tee-shot. What makes the course of significance are the narrow tee-shot corridors on several of the holes, especially on the front nine. The other factor that raises the challenge is the variety of elevation shots you will need to make. Hole 4 is a perfect example of this. Though relatively short in length, everything is up hill until you are sitting on the green. Course conditions are excellent. The fairways are always lush and the greens always running consistently. The day I played, they were a bit fuzzy and slow, but still consistent throughout the round.

Initial frost delay caused enormous back-ups...20+ minutes at some holes. Couldn't finish round in 4-1/2 hrs. Missed last 3 holes because of darkness.

All the workers were helpful and polite.
We are from Iowa, so used to a little different scenery. The views were amazing from all the holes! If you are your average golfer, like we are, pack plenty of balls. It goes out, it’s gone.
Perfect weather and great people on and around the course.
