02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

Well-traveled golfers put Estancia in the conversation for the best desert course in the country, praising how Fazio routes it through boulders and cactus at the base of Pinnacle Peak with constant variety. Generous fairways keep it playable while the setting draws raves.

Best forScenery

Consistently praised

Dramatic Pinnacle Peak setting woven through boulders and cactus.
Strong hole variety with elevation changes and a direction change on nearly every hole.

Worth knowing

A deeply private Discovery Land club, so access is the real obstacle, not the golf.

Golfers recommend

Fairways are wider and carries fewer than the boulder scenery suggests — swing freely.
The 11th par 3 framed by rock is the photo; the reachable 4th is a birdie chance.
