Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club
About
Stretching over 320 acres in the southwest area, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club (previously known as Royal Dunes) transforms mostly flat terrain into a challenging course that uses practically twice the amount of land a standard course. The course incorporates superb landscaping featuring towering mounds and hollow valleys for an interesting and scenic game. This desert golf course has wide fairways and generous landing areas. The dunes-style layout requires precision from tee to green. The difficulty of the golf course lies within the deep, strategically placed sand bunkers, multi-tiered greens, and native grass roughs. Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club provides adequate challenge for players of any skill level.

Arizona’s best!
IMO the best layout in Arizona⛳️🏆 a very unique design. You owe it to yourself to play here while in the Phoenix area⛳️🏆
Cart path only
Everything was great. Except it was cart path only. Grass was perfect. Weather was perfect. Didn’t know it was cart path only until we got there. Huge bummer. CPO takes a lot of fun out of the game. Plus, we waited on every shot. Every hole at 8:00am.
Fun Monday
Great round as always. Back 9 is always a bit slow and BRING YOUR BUG SPRAY
Fun experience and good value
The only negative is the lack of sand in some of the traps. If it was not for the sand traps I would give this course 4.5* but with the traps it drops to 4.2*.
Walking is a great option
It's cart path only for a few weeks and just a reminder that this course is totally walkable and may play even faster that way. Everything is terrific except the mosquitos. There has to be a way to spray for them like other courses do...they were really bad.
Phx in november
Cart path only due to overseeding , that time of year,, greens were slow, and mosquitoes were intense,, and I’m from Winnipeg!
Terrific staff, great layout will play again,, just on Feb or March next time
Slow play given overbooked/practice for qualifier
Course was overbook plus had qualifier practice given this week tournament. Was only able to play 9 holes given pace. Management should not allow groups of 6 people that went out in front of us plus individuals practicing for a tournament/qualifier. If this was suppose to be a practice day for a qualifier then the course should have been closed to the public while this occurred.
Management should give a 9 hole rain check given issue like this and pace of play!
Joshua
Our favorite course
We play here a few years ago and try to play again this time. The course is still a very beautify and challenging. It is a bit dry but still play well. We play later tee time. The bug came out at night and it bites you hard. So bring bug spay if you play late.
Ak-chin Southern Dunes a gem
Great layout, fantastic conditions, friendly staff. The course is a must play if you are coming to Phoenix for golf. 5 sets of tee boxes for all abilities, there are deep bunkers to challenge those who do hit the ball a little off line so bring your A game when playing this track. Well worth the extra drive.
