Chaparral Pines, Golf Club @

The high country pines frame target golf at its finest, where elevation changes of 200 feet demand precise club selection on this mountain layout carved from Arizona's Rim Country wilderness. Designer Ken Kavanaugh routed holes through natural arroyos and over granite outcroppings, creating dramatic forced carries that reward aggressive lines while punishing wayward shots with unforgiving desert flora. At 5,200 feet above sea level, the thin air adds 10-15 yards to every shot, making this public gem a thrilling test for golfers seeking authentic Southwestern golf beyond the Valley's resort courses.
