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.

Great walk and a cool design from C&C. Greens have some challenge, but most of the bite comes from tough tee shots (at least from back tees). Fun alternating stretches of short scoring holes followed by holes that protect par heavily.

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

Probably the best public in Arizona, wide enough, interesting green complexes and surroundings, lots of runoffs and myriads of ways to play shots. Definitely not as punishing as most desert golf, so it’s a great change of pace from just about everything else.

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.

Probably the best par 3 (10th) I’ve ever played here, absolutely stunning. There’s a reason they sell 18 or 10 hole rounds
