Arizona has some of the best golf courses in the country, but with so many to choose from, it can be hard to know which is best for you. This blog discusses Quintero Golf Club, including its luxury amenities, superior course design, and the top reasons experienced and novice golfers alike choose to visit.
Why Choose Quintero Golf Club? Peoria’s Hidden Gem
It’s no secret that Arizona—the Scottsdale area specifically—is one of the top destinations for golf in the United States. Arizona boasts some of the highest averages for sunny, low-humidity days, with low risk of rained-out tee times, paired with truly stunning natural landscapes; there’s little surprise why golfers from around the country travel to Scottsdale and Phoenix for prime golfing.
Whether you are a novice or pro, choosing the right course for your needs is essential to a smooth and enjoyable golfing experience.
A 40-minute drive from Phoenix and an hour from Scottsdale, Quintero Golf Club may not be the closest course to you, but it offers so much more than your local municipality or club. If you’re looking for a challenge, truly stunning natural beauty, and a unique golfing experience, choose the road less traveled and explore Quintero.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of the top draws of Quintero: what makes the golf course unique and why golfers keep coming back.
Unparalleled Scenery
Making the drive up to Quintero is like entering another world. As it becomes more rural, with fewer roads, buildings, and other cars, and the Sonoran Desert becomes the only view around you, you’ll know this isn’t like other golfing experiences. Quintero is nestled in the desert like its very own oasis, surrounded by giant saguaros, palo verde trees, and breathtaking hills. Expect to see wildlife throughout your round, with roadrunners, wild burros, and javelinas resting in the shade or grazing nearby.
With little else around you—no homes or businesses on the horizon—you’ll quickly become lost in the natural beauty around you and value the quiet calm. Golfing at Quintero is therapeutic, transformative, and unlike any other experience. Quintero Golf Club’s stay and play packages give you the option to fully immerse yourself in the experience by relaxing in one of the on-site vacation rentals, or you can enjoy a piece of paradise for the day.
White-Glove Service
Quintero Golf Club doesn’t just let the natural landscape do all the work; Quintero prides itself on delivering the highest-quality service at every point, to each guest. The secret? Quintero loves the game. The team members, from club service to pros and marshals, are passionate about golf and sharing it with others. The club makes every effort to create an experience you’ll never forget, offering additional concierge care and pro tips to those who are interested. The marshals are friendly and happy to lend a hand to keep the pace comfortable for everyone.
In addition to helpful staff, Quintero offers exactly what you need to get through a round in high spirits: water stations throughout the course, food delivery (including the famous, made-to-order breakfast burritos), and club service. Planning a big event? Quintero has that covered, too.
World-Class Greens & Course Design
The real star, naturally, is Quintero’s course itself. Designed by legendary course architect Rees Jones, Quintero offers a world-class experience. Known for excellent playing surfaces with exemplary multi-level bentgrass greens, firm, white-sand bunkers, and manicured Bermuda grass fairways, along with paved cart paths, the course is luxurious and challenging, but worth the effort.
A perfect blend of effort and ease, expect some narrow shots and mixed elevations, with the desert offering a nice challenge for out-of-bounds shots. The course is never repetitive, offering multiple play options for every player at each hole to adjust the difficulty. Many returning players note that the game always feels fresh at Quintero, though it can be somewhat challenging for newer players. In fact, the layout and natural setting combine for a uniquely challenging golfing experience, and while you don’t need to be an expert to play, this course might require your A-game. But who doesn’t love to test their skill?
And if you’re really new to the game, or you’re looking to touch up on some rusty skills, Quintero Golf Club offers a range of golf instruction options, including:
- Individual lessons, full swing on the practice tee, short game area, or combination
- Playing lessons, which include a warm-up session with tips and up to nine holes of course play
