Quintero in Peoria, AZ should be on anyone’s list who plays golf in Arizona often. Feels like a blend of Colorado and Arizona golf. Out in the middle of nowhere and is an absolute gem.

The course was in overall pretty good shape. The greens had taken a beating with ball marks. I loved the monument hole where the large rock / monument was in the middle of the fairway. The views and scenery were so incredible.

Was shocked at the shape of the greens. Ball marks everywhere and somehow soaked. Was not worth the price they charge. Views were the only part really worth the experience

Excellent parkland golf in the desert. Small greens, narrow targets, and plenty of friendly people to meet when you drive it into another fairway. Easy to walk with a great clubhouse and staff. The layout isn’t exactly “exciting”, but not one bad hole, great golf course.

Replicating the shots on TV is fun here. The 16th with the stands up, or trying to drive it over the church pews on 18. Otherwise, it’s a tourist trap that’s in alright shape and is pretty unremarkable. Fun to see the stands up

Great value for the valley. First par 3 on the back is super unique. Good use of the land.
