One of the most celebrated golf courses in Arizona is Forest Highlands Golf Club’s Canyon course, a design by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. The signature ninth hole, known as Valley, is a 446-yard par 4 with a formidable water hazard.

In Scottsdale, Troon North is a top choice with two 18-hole courses that pass through beautiful foothills and the ravines of Pinnacle Peak. The challenge of the natural terrain, combined with its sheer beauty, makes for what many players have noted as an “unforgettable experience.”

One of the most popular Jack Nicklaus courses is Desert Highlands, a unique design that features plenty of sand and not a single water hazard. The course provides a test for even seasoned players, especially the three par-4 holes.

Estancia is another celebrated course. Tom Fazio designed the course to integrate seamlessly with the large boulder outcrops and beautiful saguaro cacti of the area. The entire course is set beneath Pinnacle Peak.
