Gold Canyon - Dinosaur Mountain, Gold Canyon, Arizona
 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.

Roger Myers SAYS...
A beautiful course. Wonderful layout and design. A must to play
but watch out for the "Desert Gnomes"! They love to
eat golf balls. |
