Played Quintero on 8/27 This was the number one choice for our trip. I was able to get 2 tee times at 8:20 for the rack rate of $115 for non resident and $105 for the two AZ locals. We could've saved $10 by prepaying online but chose to have everyone pay for themselves. Check in was simple and easy. We picked up some breakfast burritos and loaded up in the very nice carts with GPS and Bluetooth. One you load up its a 6 minuet trip up the mountain to the driving range and tee boxes. Driving Range is of adequate size and a large putting green was identical to the conditions on the course. Tee Boxes- They were flat and had good coverage. We played the silvers as none of us were feeling good from the late night shenanigan's from the previous night so no need to play 6800 yards. Fairways- Great coverage throughout and beautiful mowere striping. A little longer than we-ko-pa but still very nice to play from. A few drives did stick instead of rolling out but it wasnt too much of an issues. Greens- Firm and fast just the way I like them. They accepted well hit shots but anything low would roll out. I did notice a few ball marks from previous groups but not much a course can do for that. Sand- I found a lot of sand traps this day and I can confidently say the sand traps were an 8 out of 10 for quality. A few of the fairway traps could use a turning as they were much more firm than they should be. All Greenside traps had good sand though. This course is very beautiful and I highly recommend playing out here before they jack the rates back up for winter. I believe I saw rates over $300 during prime season and while still worth it compared to other courses its quite a distance from the main tourist areas of Scottsdale and PHX. Still a Top 100 Public course is always going to be a place to visit regardless of price.
