Haven Golf Course

The desert floor sprawls beneath towering saguaros on this Arizona test, where elevation changes of 200 feet create dramatic shotmaking demands most Sonoran courses can't match. Water comes into play on seven holes—a rarity in this parched landscape—forcing carries over desert washes that flow only during monsoon season. The par-4 12th drops 60 feet from an elevated tee, tempting bombers to cut the dogleg over ancient mesquite groves, but the green's false front punishes anything short.
