Quintero Golf Club, the top 100 public course in Peoria, Ariz., reopened for public play Nov. 1 following a multi-million dollar renovation project of the golf course and facilities. The five-month project began on June 2 and was overseen by Rees Jones, Quintero’s original course architect. Tee times can be scheduled at www.quinterogolf.com.During the renovation, Total Turf golf course construction company crews rebuilt all 18 green complexes and resurfaced them with 007XL Bentgrass, an excellent drought-tolerant and disease-resistant grass that provides consistent putting surfaces. Greenside irrigation was also improved across the site to provide consistent coverage. All tee boxes were laser leveled and resurfaced with new 419 Bermuda grass, and all 65 of Quintero’s bunkers were also renovated with new drainage, bunker liners and new Augusta white sand.
During the five-month closure, crews also improved Quintero’s extensive practice facility, leveling and resurfacing the practice tee, plus rebuilding and resurfacing the practice green with 007XL Bentgrass.
This summer’s course renovations marked the first major changes to the award-winning course since it opened in 2000.
In addition to the golf course renovation, Quintero also renovated the nine stay-and-play units to provide guests with updated accommodations, including updated kitchens and bathrooms, new flooring and paint in the units and new furnishings. The club’s golf shop and clubhouse have also been renovated with new flooring, decorations, countertops and merchandise displays, as well as updated men’s and women’s restrooms.
The newly seeded golf course is currently a cart path only and will remain there for several weeks to allow the ryegrass to mature.
Currently No. 93 Op Golf Digest Ranked among America’s 100 Best Public Courses and the No. 1 Public Course in Arizona, Quintero was carved from a remote stretch of the Sonoran Desert by master architect Rees Jones. Since opening in 2000, the 7,249-yard, par 72 layout has received numerous awards, including multiple best-in-state and most scenic course rankings. With elevated tee boxes on mountaintops and fairways running through giant saguaro cacti, Quintero offers a unique Arizona golf experience for guests.
