Quintero Golf Club, a top 100 public course in Peoria, AZ., has reopened for play following a multi-million-dollar golf course and facility renovation project. The five-month project was overseen by Rees Jones, Quintero’s original course architect.
During the renovation, crews from Total Turf golf course construction company rebuilt each of the 18 green complexes and resurfaced them with 007XL Bentgrass, an excellent drought-tolerant and disease-resistant grass that delivers consistent putting surfaces. Greenside irrigation was also improved across the property to provide consistent coverage. Each of the tee boxes were laser-leveled and resurfaced with a new 419 Bermuda grass, and all 65 of Quintero’s bunkers were also renovated, receiving new drainage, bunker liners, and new Augusta white sand.
Crews also enhanced Quintero’s expansive practice facility, leveling and resurfacing the practice tee, plus rebuilding and resurfacing the practice green with the 007XL Bentgrass.
The renovations marked the first major changes to the award-winning course since it opened in 2000.
In addition to golf course renovations, Quintero also renovated its nine stay-and-play units to provide guests with updated accommodations, including refreshed kitchens and bathrooms, new flooring and paint throughout the units and new furniture. The Club’s golf shop and clubhouse have also been remodeled with new flooring, décor, countertops and merchandise displays, as well as updated men’s and ladies’ restrooms.
The newly overseeded golf course is currently cart path only and will be for several weeks to allow the rye grass to mature.
Quintero, managed by Troon, was carved out of a secluded stretch of the Sonoran Desert. 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.
