This par 71 gem features dramatic elevation changes, unspoiled desert terrain, abundant wildlife and beautiful bent grass greens. While Rancho Manana Golf Club poses a significant challenge for low handicappers, it also attracts and is well known for its fairness and playability by high handicappers, as well. Beginning with Rancho Manana's first hole, the front nine takes golfers through the Town of Cave Creeks name sake, Cave Creek Wash, one of the last remaining riparian areas in the state. From there, each subsequent hole ventures upward, to higher elevations, where one can witness some of the states most breathtaking views. No where else in Valley of the Sun can a golfer simultaneously view picturesque images of Camelback Mountain, Mummy Mountain, Squaw Peak, Black Mountain, South Mountain, and the dramatic Tonto National Forest, with its distinctive Elephant Butte. From the heights of splendor, golfers experience an ongoing, truly unique experience with a pair of par 3's that forces one to gaze over the dramatic decline in elevation as golfers meander back towards the site of a once thriving, real western dude ranch, now the existing clubhouse and restaurant facilities, with their original, rustic structures. From there, Rancho Manana's back nine allows one to encounter a slightly different experience, as golfers work their way around a lush oasis of water-guarded holes that emerges, once again, from along side Cave Creek, where Mother Natures flourishing, vast array of wildlife can be found, including the likes of bobcats, roadrunners, mule deer, rabbits and eagles. As golfers near the end, they will be treated to the courses two most challenging par fives, giving one the immediate desire to make the turn again.
