GOLD CANYON GOLF RST - DINOSAUR MOUNTAIN

GOLD CANYON, AZ

Carved out of the foothills of the scenic Superstition Mountains, the 36 holes of desert mountain golf offer two distinct playing options. Dinosaur Mountain, the #1 public course in Arizona for 2001-2002, takes golfers into the high Sonoran Desert. A round of golf includes breathtaking views of the Superstition Mountains and dramatic tee-to-green elevation changes. Sidewinder, Gold Canyon's newest course, runs through the land's natural arroyos and dry creek beds, providing a pristine desert golf experience. Gold Canyon is located just 35 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor airport.

Golfer Comments

11/24/2008 - Excellent course! Challenging, yet fair! Amazing views from all over the course. Practice facilites were poor...hitting off mats in the golf cart parking area. Posted by Shane (Langley, BC)

05/06/2008 - Wonderful course with great conditioning. Views while on course and layout were great. Posted by Charles (North Providence, RI)

04/28/2008 - One of the most scenic in the area. Top shelf. Posted by Steve (Plymouth, WI)

03/24/2008 - We love dinaosaur. The practice facilities are wanting. Posted by Nello (Orland Park, IL)

03/17/2008 - Although the surroundings were beautiful, the course itself was not as great as I expected given the other reviews. The course has many extreme elevation changes, many holes looked the same and it did not flow naturally through the mountain. The par 3s were particularly boring. Long drive from Scottsdale for a disappointing course. Posted by Thom (Irvine, CA)

03/17/2008 - One of our top 5! Posted by Larry (Elk Grove Village, IL)

10/08/2007 - This was the most beautiful scenic course we have played. Posted by Laurine (St Thomas, ON)

10/01/2007 - The very Best course in Arizona. Golf is fantastic and the views, atmosphere are even better! A must play Posted by Mark (Batavia, IL)

09/24/2007 - We played here last year, and this year, and we will play here next year! It's the best, period!!! Posted by Rich (Wheaton, IL)

08/26/2007 - Excellent course. It was the furthest drive we had but I would do it all over again. The course was in great shape and very scenic. A must play. Posted by Dan (Newark, DE)
