Did you know?

Membership at Canyata is restricted only to those invited to join by owner Gerald Forsythe. Originally Forsythe wanted to build only three golf holes (a par-3, par-4 and par-5) designed for the recreational use of his family and friends. But it didn't take long for him and course architect Benkusky (who worked as the lead project designer for Bob Lohmann) to see that from his lush farmland a gem of a golf course could be produced.

Published ranking
