|
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.
