Popular and highly ranked Arizona golf course to undergo multi-million dollar renovation
A popular and highly ranked Arizona golf course has closed for the summer for a multi-million dollar renovation.
Quintero Golf Club, in the suburb of Peoria northwest of Phoenix, closed June 2 for the four-month project.
Quintero is ranked second in Arizona in the recently released Golfweek's Best 2025: Top public-access golf courses in every state, ranked. The course opened in 2000, and this summer's renovation marks the first significant work on the property since it opened.
Rees Jones, Quintero's original architect, will oversee the work. Total Turf is the contractor. The renovation calls for a rebuild of all 18 green complexes, work that will include a green resurfacing them with 007XL Bent grass. All tee boxes will be reworked, laser-leveled and resurfaced with 419 Bermuda grass. There are 65 bunkers on the golf course and every one of them will be renovated with new drainage, new bunker linkers and filled with new Augusta white sand.
The renovation is expected to be completed by late September. The course will reopen in October after the fall overseed.
'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's GM Mike Poe.
The club will also get a renovated practice facility. The practice tee area will be leveled and resurfaced and the practice green will be rebuilt.
Quintero, a Troon managed propery, is a par-72 course that tips out at 7,249 yards.

Lottie Woad Wins Scottish Open In Professional Debut
As her wedge shot into the eighteenth hole at Dundonald Links danced around the pin leading to a finishing birdie at the Scottish Open, Lottie Woad announced to the professional golf world that she has arrived. A final round 68 capped off a three-shot victory over a loaded field at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. TROON, SCOTLAND - JULY 27: Lottie Woad of England plays her third shot on the 18th hole during the ... More final round of the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open 2025 at Dundonald Links Golf Course on July 27, 2025 in Troon, Scotland. (Photo by) Woad, the 21-year-old Englishwoman and former world number one ranked amateur's victory shouldn't come as a surprise to those who have been paying attention. In early July, she won the Irish Open as an amateur and backed up that performance with a T3 finish in the Evian Masters, a major on the LPGA Tour. On a windy day at Dundonald Links in Irvine, Scotland, Woad looked unfazed as Hyo Joo Kim made an early move on the front nine with four early birdies in the first seven holes. Woad herself had a clean card on the front nine with a bogey-free 34 as she displayed a very disciplined game, often seen in more seasoned players. After Kim's hot start, she also made birdies on the 11th and 12th holes and briefly shared the lead before Woad birdied the 13th and 14th holes to regain control of the championship. Walking up the eighteenth hole, Woad laid up into the par-5 finisher before sticking a 3/4 wedge to 2 feet to seal the tournament. 'You know, everyone was chasing me today, and managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch and hit a lot of good shots, which is nice,' Woad told the press. For her victory, the 21-year old made $300,000 and possibly more importantly, she earned status on the Ladies European Tour for the rest of this season (she also has LPGA status) which will allow her to accumulate points for next season's Solheim Cup. TROON, SCOTLAND - JULY 27: Lottie Woad of England poses with the trophy following victory of the ...

(Photo by) Young Players Finding Success In Professional Debuts Woad became the second player in the last three years to win her pro debut. In 2023, Rose Zhang, the american stand out from Stanford, won her pro debut at the Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National. World number one Nelly Korda, who played with Woad the first three rounds, got off to a great start making four-straight birdies on the front nine, before a bulky putter derailed her chances with a final round 71, finishing eight shots behind Woad. Woad hopped on the world stage last year as she birdied three of the final four holes to win the Augusta National Women's Amateur title. She commented that she felt more pressure there than in her professional debut in Scotland. "I think Augusta, that was the biggest tournament I played in at the time and was kind of my big win," Woad said. "So definitely felt the pressure of it more there, and I felt like all those experiences helped me with this." Women's professional golf heads to Wales next week to Royal Porthcrawl for the final major of the season, the AIG Women's Open. Lottie Woad will look to continue her stellar play as she will undoubtedly be one of the favorites to win.

Davidson makes magic moments but Woad stays in control
Australia's Karis Davidson shot a stunning 66, including eight birdies in 10 mid-round holes, to briefly surge into contention at the Women's Scottish Open before falling back in the closing stages. The Gold Coast 27-year-old carded a third round that was one shot better than leader Lottie Woad but still found herself 10 shots adrift, in a tie for ninth place. She is joined by compatriot Cassie Porter, who shot a 69 that also left her seven under on the leaderboard at Troon on Saturday. Woad had four birdies in a six-hole stretch around the turn and posted a 5-under 67 to maintain her two-shot lead as she closes in on victory in her professional debut. Woad has such control of her game at Dundonald Links that she went 33 consecutive holes without a bogey until dropping a shot on the 15th. Her lead was down to one shot, but the 21-year-old from England responded with a short wedge she played perfectly on the 17th, leaving her an 8-foot birdie putt she converted. A closing par put her at 17-under 199. Nanna Koerstz Madsen, who caught Woad early with an eagle on the par-5 third hole, fell behind after Woad's birdie streak. But the Dane rallied with three straight birdies and a couple of par saves for a 67. She was two shots behind, along with Sei Young Kim (66), who made a long eagle putt on the 14th and got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 closing hole to get within two shots. Nelly Korda played bogey-free, but the American managed only two birdies on another relatively calm day by Scottish standards. Her 70 left her five shots behind Woad, who already has had a golden summer in Europe. Woad, who won the Augusta National Women's Amateur in 2024 and rose to No.1 in the women's amateur ranking that year, won the Irish Women's Open three weeks ago on the Ladies European Tour. Then she missed the play-off by one shot in the Evian Championship. But her tie for third in the LPGA major earned her a tour card, and she decided to skip her senior year at Florida State and turn pro. And now she has a chance to win in her debut. "That's the aim, to shoot as low as possible and keep giving myself chances," Woad said. "If someone shoots lights out, fair enough. I'm excited for the opportunity. I've got the experience and I'll try to use that." Another Australian, Minjee Lee, who was joint third after the first round, improved from Friday's travails with a 70 but is downfield in joint 27th on four over.

Totteridge Golf Club's 13th hole has bunkers challenging every shot
The 13th hole at Totteridge Golf Club is one of the best in western Pennsylvania and has several bunkers that present different challenges on every shot. World renowned golf architect Rees Jones designed over 270 golf courses including 14 that have hosted a major championship and four that have hosted the Ryder Cup. He also designed Totteridge Golf Club in Westmoreland County, which features a fantastic layout and the 13th hole there has everything you want in a par 4 with bunkers coming into play several times. "A really challenging tee shot here where you have to kind of thread the needle in between two groups of bunkers," said Totteridge Golf Club head professional Brian Klocek. "Then it sets up for a really challenging second shot into a two-tiered green." The 13th is a monster and with five sets of tees, it can play as long as 460 yards. From the white tees, its around 240 yards to carry the left fairway bunker and an ideal tee shot would be a cut off the left edge of the trap, landing in the middle of the fairway. Where you'll want to land your approach shot will depend on the pin position and uphill putts from the left side of the green will tend to trail away to the right a bit. If you can stay out of the bunkers in the fairway and around the green, par on the 13th hole is a good score.
