By Nathan Mader| June 25, 2025 0 Comments

The latest course of the week is Quintero Golf Club, a top 100 public course located in Peoria, Ariz. Quintero Golf Club recently began a multi-million-dollar golf course renovation project, with the four-month project beginning on June 2 and is expected to be completed by the end of September. The fully-overseeded golf course is scheduled to reopen for play in October. Rees Jones, Quintero’s original course architect, is overseeing the course renovation, and Total Turf is the contractor. 

This summer’s course renovation marks the first major changes to the award-winning course since it opened in 2000. During the renovation, crews will rebuild all 18 green complexes and resurface them with 007XL bentgrass. All tee areas will be laser-leveled and resurfaced with a new 419 bermudagrass.  All 65 bunkers will be renovated, receiving new drainage and bunker liners, and they will be filled with new Augusta white sand. 

“We are so excited to have RJI and Total Turf involved in this project, with the primary focus on making Quintero Golf Club even better than before,” said Quintero Golf Club general manager Mike Poe.

Quintero’s expansive practice facility will also be renovated during this summer’s closure, with the practice tee leveled and resurfaced and the practice green rebuilt and resurfaced. 

Currently No. 93 on Golf Digest’s ranking of America’s 100 greatest public courses and No. 1 public course in Arizona, Quintero was carved out of a secluded stretch of the Sonoran Desert by architect Rees Jones. Since opening for play in 2000, the 7,249-yard, par-72 layout has received numerous accolades, including multiple best-in-state and most-scenic course rankings. With elevated tee boxes perched on mountain tops and fairways ribboning through giant saguaro cacti, Quintero provides a unique Arizona golf experience for guests.
