Course Info & Rates

Elevated tees, challenging greens and mountain views at Fountain Hills’ original golf course.

Since 1971

An Arizona round with a sense of place

Desert Canyon has been challenging Arizona golfers since 1971. Elevated tee boxes and greens frame the McDowell Mountains and Four Peaks, and the famous Fountain Hills fountain fires off at the top of every hour, visible from almost every hole.

The fairways look open but play tight, with strategic doglegs and real elevation changes. Choose the tees that fit your game, then enjoy the scenery along the way.
