"Bring
your A game and your camera" gush nature lovers
at this "out of the way, but worth it" resort
track amid the ghost towns east of Phoenix that delights
the eye with "huge elevation changes" and
splendid "high-desert views" of the Superstition
Mountains"; even zoologists would admit "it's
a challenge keeping your eye on the ball while watching"
"roadrunners, bobcats, javelinas" and "more
jackrabbits than an Easter special" "frolic
in the fairway" but besides the critters, there's
"no one on the course". |

Profile: Located just outside Phoenix, Gold Canyon Golf Resort boasts
two 18-hole championship golf courses: Dinosaur Mountain and
The Sidewinder.
This resort added nine new holes to an existing nine to create
the Sidewinder Course, which opened in September, 1998. The
original nine holes on the Sidewinder Course, which opened in
1997, run along the lower flatlands and wind through a housing
development. The course now measures 6,481 yards from the back
tees and plays to a par of 71.
The
picturesque Dinosaur Mountain Course can be difficult for
the beginning to intermediate player. It is a par 70 and measures
6,584 yards from the back tees. Many great views of the Superstition
Mountains and surrounding valleys can be seen from every hole.
The course is a target-style design. The small greens are
fast, and the fairways are narrow.
