SunRidge Canyon Golf Club is a one-of-a-kind desert, target style golf course with a spirit all of it's own. A Keith Foster masterpiece that utilizes nature to the fullest begins at the upper mouth of a scenic canyon and descends via golf switch-backs to the floor of SunRidge Canyon. Players are lulled into a false [...]

Eagle Mountain Golf Club is one of those great golf courses – you could play it every day and not get tired of it. I am particularly partial to courses with hills, elevation and lots of character. Eagle Mountain has all of that and more. I challenge you to find a better golf course for [...]

The Camelback Golf Club is another Scottsdale Golf Facility that, along with great golf, provides me with a shot of nostalgia whenever I get a chance to play there.

Up in the foothills of Scottsdale's McDowell Mountains and just north of the acclaimed Westworld equestrian center, home of the Barrett Jackson Classic Car Auction and the world-renowned Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, lies the Sanctuary Golf Club, a SunCor Golf facility.  Golf course architect Randy Heckenkemper transformed the Bureau of Reclamation's storm water retention area [...]

Another of Scottsdale's fine courses open to the public. Designed by Scott Miller and managed by Troon Golf, this facility boasts three distinctive nine hole golf courses, named after the dominant vegetation on each, Mesquite, Ironwood and Acacia. A bit different from any other desert golf experience you will find in Scottsdale as it is [...]

Legend Trail GC is a stunning golf oasis in the middle of the high Sonoran desert that features great conditioning, wide fairways, perfectly level, island tee boxes, bent grass greens, strategically placed bunkers and crushed granite cart paths.
