ALTA MESA GOLF CLUB

Desert winds whip across elevated tees that drop 200 feet into Sonoran Desert washes, creating the kind of dramatic elevation changes that make Arizona golf memorable. The layout threads through natural arroyos and over desert carries that demand precise club selection, while strategically placed bunkers punish wayward shots on what amounts to target golf at its purest. When the desert blooms in spring, this public track delivers the postcard Arizona experience that resort courses charge twice as much to provide.
