We think Desert Canyon is pretty special, but don’t take our word for it. Here’s what golfers are saying.

Desert Canyon offers a beautiful setting for golf in Fountain Hills. The mountain views, elevated tees and changes in elevation give the course plenty of personality. The layout keeps things intere…
Fun golf course. I'm out here with a group of friends from the east coast for a week. This is one of five courses we are hitting.
This is really a great course. Don’t let the yardage fool you, this is a challenge right off the bat with #1. This course is in really good shape. Greens and bunkers are nice. GPS in cart, 3 1/2 ho…

Amazing course! Everyone from the carts, starter the pro shop were amazing. The course was fun and greens are challenging. Got paired up with a great couple and had an absolute blast. Will definitely be back again!!!! Thank you for such an amazing day on your beautiful course.
Enjoyed playing earlier this GC before temperature gets 110+. The GC was in good condition.
This course is getting better and better as they make improvements. The ladies tees are just as green as the guys tees which is nice and the fairways are really in great shape. The only issue I have is how management made a change this year to only give 2 complimentary bottles of water per cart rega…
For a round in July, the golf course was in good condition.
Fountain Hills’ original golf course has been challenging Arizona golfers since 1971. Elevated tee boxes and greens deliver some of the best views in the Valley, with the McDowell Mountains and Four Peaks on the horizon. At the top of every hour, the world-famous 550-foot fountain fires off, and you can see it from almost every hole.
The fairways are open but play tight, with strategically placed doglegs and serious elevation changes. This is an Arizona golf experience you don’t want to miss.
