Rancho Mañana Golf Club

Overview

Golf at Rancho Mañana Golf Club offers a true Arizona desert experience, steeped in history. The course sits on what was once a 1940s dude ranch, where visitors came to enjoy the rugged beauty of Cave Creek. Designed by Bill Johnston in 1989, this par-70 championship course spans 6,016 yards, offering golfers stunning elevation changes, panoramic mountain views, and the chance to play through some of Arizona’s last remaining riparian zones. It’s not just about the views, though—Rancho Mañana provides a layout that’s challenging enough for low handicappers but playable for golfers of all levels. The front nine winds through Cave Creek Wash, while the back nine surrounds a large lake, offering contrasting styles of play. Holes 7 and 9 feature dramatic elevation drops, adding to the technical challenge. The combination of historic charm and modern golf design makes Rancho Mañana stand apart from other Arizona courses. After your round, enjoy a meal at Tonto Bar & Grill, known for its locally sourced, Southwestern-inspired cuisine.
