Alright, so I decided to check out this place, Rancho Manana in Cave Creek, Arizona. I’d heard some good things, and honestly, I was just looking for a nice, relaxing day trip. So, I grabbed my camera, some water, and hit the road.

First thing I did was just drive around the area. Cave Creek is a pretty cool little town, with a kind of old-west vibe. Lots of quirky shops and stuff. Rancho Manana itself is a bit outside of the main drag, nestled up against the mountains.
Then I got to the resort area. it looked so beautiful and I can’t wait to try to play golf.
- The scenery is amazing.
- The golf course looked really well-maintained, all green and lush.
- Everything about this place just felt so chill.
I spent a good chunk of the day just wandering around, taking pictures. The desert landscape is really something else, all cacti and mountains. Even just sitting by the pool for a while, enjoying the quiet, was perfect.
what I thought
It really is a beautiful, relaxing spot. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, maybe some golf, or even just a scenic drive, it’s definitely worth checking out. I’m already thinking about going back, maybe staying a little longer next time!
