True Desert Golf
San Tan Highlands boasts a championship course with a front nine that winds through the Sonoran desert and a back nine that finishes at the base of the bordering San Tan Mountains. Six different sets of tees allow the course to be played as long as 7,162 yards. Naturally, the first half of the golf course is relatively flat and the latter half boasts hilly terrain.
In contrast to its categorization as a desert course, this course has grass from the tees to the greens but the cactus-filled landscape definitely implies desert. The greens are quite large and undulating and the fairways are fairly open with generous landing areas. Strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards come into play throughout.
