The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Tom Weiskopf course tucked dramatically into the McDowell canyons, defined by severe multi-tiered, ultra-fast greens with false fronts that demand local knowledge. One of Scottsdale’s most exclusive clubs; some feel prestige outweighs pure golf merit.
Consistently praised
- Spectacular canyon setting framed by the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
- Bold, multi-tiered greens that test the best players, plus a top-shelf practice facility.
Worth knowing
- Greens are severe and hard to read; some find the contours gimmicky and the scene more prestige than golf.
Golfers recommend
- Favor below-the-hole positions to survive the fast tiers.
- Expect to be defended by the greens more than the fairways.
