MOUNTAIN BROOK GC

The Sonoran Desert serves up relentless elevation changes and forced carries over desert washes that separate pretenders from players, with elevated tees offering stunning vistas of the Superstition Mountains. Target golf dominates here, where wayward shots disappear into saguaro-studded arroyos and strategic bunker placement punishes the overly aggressive. What saves this desert test from feeling punitive is the generous landing areas on well-positioned drives and greens that reward precise iron play with legitimate birdie chances.
