Est. 2000

Opened in 2000 as a private facility, Quintero Golf Club now offers outside visitors the chance to enjoy the unspoilt beauty of the Arizona desert, while tackling a stunning Rees Jones layout. The golf course at Quintero will test your game on a handsomely crafted layout, which is bordered by pristine and often dramatic desert terrain.

Plenty of undulations and elevation change gives great character to each hole on this highly-rated course. Playing over 7,200 yards from the Championship tees, and a more comfortable 5,043 yards from the forward tees, Quintero is a course with plenty of strategically positioned bunkers, generally good-size landing areas and tiered bentgrass greens.

Located at an elevation between 1,986 and 2,670 feet, the entire property is surrounded by Federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, which preserves Quintero's feeling of seclusion and privacy. In this high Sonoran desert setting, close to Lake Pleasant in the Hieroglyphic Mountains, you will enjoy the sweeping desert landscape, with its folding hills and lush collections of native cactus and trees, including saguaro, Ocotillo, Ironwood, Palo Verde, and acacia.

Stay&Play at Quintero: onsite accommodation is available in Quintero's rental villas and condos (see Where2Stay section below).

Did you know?

Quintero golf course is located in the foothills of the Hieroglyphic Mountains, which it seems were named in an apparent confusion between Egyptian hieroglyphs (images used in writing) and local petroglyphs (images carved on rock surfaces). The course is a short drive from Lake Pleasant, a major water sports recreation area for the Phoenix metro area.
