Gainey Ranch Golf Club

Well maintained property, cooperative staff that exceeded all expectations.

I had a chance to play here. We played the Dunes and Arroyo. Both 9’s were immaculate. They looked tournament ready. We never saw a ranger but it was unnecessary. We played as a foursome in a bit less than 4 hours from a 9:06 tee time. Both 9’s had several interesting holes. The greens were very quick but smooth. If I had to nitpick, the practice tees were on mats. Doubt I’ll ever get another opportunity to play there but it was great.

I held a 50 person luncheon at this club and the meal was 30 minutes late being served despite multiple meetings with the sales and banquet staff. They were clearly understaffed, and the staff they had were rude, the food was mid at best. When I asked for a partial refund I was blamed and told I had asked for too many meal choices (we went from 3 to 5 and they knew this going in) and the waiters didn’t know who had which meal (I had place cards to indicate those choices, also discussed multiple times). I plan events for a living and have never had such poor service.

The food here was very good. Unfortunately due to the nature of the visit which was a Celebration of Life event, by the time I sat down to eat my food it was cold. The items that were not cold were very delicious and the dessert was devine. The wait staff was fabulous as well.

First course I've played in Phoenix. Course was immaculate, even after just having came out of overseeding. Pro shop and outside ops staffs were very friendly and professional. Gorgeous club house with great balcony seatings overlooking the golf course. The range was all grass with clean Titleist balls. Greens were rolling about 9.4. Looking forward to playing here again when the greens are perfect.
