Apache
Stronghold could be an excellent golf course, if not
for some overwhelming poor conditioning and maintenance
problems. The struggle with these issues began with
decisions made when the course was in its design and
construction phases. Still, national golf magazines
have showered the course with honors, seemingly oblivious
to the actual condition of the course. Moreover, golfers
are making the long trek to the Globe area, where Apache
Stronghold is located, to play a course that they have
been led to believe is actually one of the top public
courses in the U.S. This could be due to the vast marketing
this course and casino does where you can easily find
a $99 room and round rate even in season.

Profile:
This eighteen hole course is located on pristine desert
land outside the high-desert beauty of Globe. Adding to the
beauty of this course is a spectacular view of the Pineal
Mountains, which stand 8,000 feet above sea level. Situated
at 3,500 feet above sea level, this course is by no means
flat. There is definite slope to the fairways. The greens
are large with moderate undulation. Strategically-placed bunkers
add to the challenge of this course. An outrageous statue
of an Apache warrior proudly stands between hole #9 and hole
#10.
