Superstition Springs Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The East Valley's Superstition Springs Golf Club offers one of Arizona's most testing layouts, measuring over 7,000 yards, with a slope rating of 130. Golf course architect Greg H. Nash designed the course and worked with the landscape already in place to provide the abundant mounding, wide bunkers and good-looking but tough-playing water features.
By the time he had finished with the Superstition Springs Golf Club, Nash had created a golf course that Golfweek called one of America's Best Golf Courses.
After - or before - a round of golf at the Superstition Springs Golf Club, hit up the restaurant for breakfast, lunch or drinks either inside or on the patio, which overlooks the golf course's signature hole, the ninth.

Money Hungry course
We teed off at 1:00, 3 or 4 groups on EVERY hole!! 3 hours for 9 holes, no ranger, asked beverage gal to call ranger, said she would, this was on hole #4, no one ever showed up!!
Called golf shop. starting at 1:30, no answer!! How convenient!! Called the restaurant, she connected me to the head golf guy's office, voice mail, I expected no less!! We did NOT finish.....Will never, ever play this course again and recommend no one else does either!!! Would like a refund, but I'm sure that will fall on deaf ears too!!!!
Nice course, but pace of play was terrible
Had a 12:44 tee time 2 days after Christmas, got there at noon and was told they had a 2 hour freeze delay, but fortunately 4 4somes canceled so it shouldn't be too bad - we ended up teeing off (in shorts and short sleeves; so much for the "freeze") around 1:30. We waited at least 5 minutes on every hole to tee off. Finally after 12, we knew we couldn't get all 18 in, so we bailed on 13, 14 & 15 and short cutted to play 16, 17 & 18 in the dark. Didn't see the course marshal once and no offers (free range balls, free hot dog, etc) to compensate for not getting 18 holes in.
Poorly managed, but nice, challenging course.
Not a good value
Make sure you avoid booking afternoon tee times in the winter. My tee time should have allowed me 4.5 hours of day light - but I was only able to finish 13 holes.
Took 3 hours to play the front 9.
The course starts its tee sheet too early then they claim frost delay - meanwhile backing up tee times all day -
Overall course condition is poor. I would avoid.
Food and food service was poor.
Good Morning Ryan, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your tee time and the difficulties presented by Frost Delays on your day of play. While frost delays are never an exact science there are certainly points under our control that can and will be improved upon. We hope to have the opportunity to connect with you to hear more regarding your full experience. Would you reach out to leadership at kjones@arcisgolf.com or 480-207-7814? Your additional feedback is much appreciated!
Love it!
Very challenging course and in great shape. We really enjoyed ourselves. Lots of sand so be aware. More people need to fix their ball marks on the greens. We will be back to play again.
Hello, thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you found our course challenging and in great shape. We appreciate your feedback about the ball marks, and we'll work on addressing those areas. We look forward to having you back again soon.
Nice course
Very friendly staff, course in good conditions. Greens putting moderately fast. Nice layout and playing time very good for this time of year. Nice course for the money.
Improvements
Maybe they need to put signs because it is not clearly specified when one arrives on Google Maps or any other GPS application the entry is confusing and that causes delays when arriving at the game
Hi Pedro, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your suggestion regarding clearer signage and will take it into consideration for future improvements. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your visit and hope to provide a smoother experience next time.
Not worth the money
I think other courses offer greater value for the dollar.
Hi RAZinter, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your perspective and will take your comment into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings.
Slow
Booked a 1:00 t time thinking we would have time to get done, 15 minutes late starting and slow play contributed to only getting 16 holes done
Good Afternoon! Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the slower play you experienced in the afternoon. We appreciate your patience and will work on improving our timing to ensure a smoother experience for you in the future.
Very nice course. Staff was helpful.
The course played pretty short from the yellow tees but the equalizer are the greens which are raised, angled and quick with mounds surrounding them. Definitely a second shot course from any tee box.
Definitely a bargain when compared to all of the resort style courses in the area.
Thank you for your positive feedback on our course and the helpfulness of our staff. We appreciate your observation about the greens and the unique challenge they offer. We strive to provide great value in comparison to other courses in the area. We hope to see you again soon!
SLOW PLAY
Waited on every single hole, after every single shot! Extremely slow play ruined the whole day. Turned out to be over 5 hours to play 18.
Hi cwolfe1, we apologize for the slow play that you experienced. We understand how frustrating that can be. We'll take your feedback into consideration to improve our pace of play in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Better than the last time
Grass is still growing, good here and there but thin in a lot of places in the fairways. Greens were fast. They have made an effort to clean up garbage from the dried ponds. Still no marshal and play was slow. Beverage cart (Lincoln) is a plus. Traps were very compacted, we dropped out of most of them.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience. We're glad you enjoyed your recent experience and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Please continue to share anytime the team can improve on the experience!
