This desert-style and parkland course, bisected by a busy highway, may not be one of the most scenic in Phoenix, but has for many years represented an excellent value, low cost golf option.
Course permanently closed in 2019.
Non-metal spike facility. Golf carts compulsory.

Over its last 20-plus years, more than 1 million rounds were played here, including 52,000 by the Arizona State University (ASU) men’s and ladies golf teams (the "Sun Devils").
