Not being able to compete with that much water may have been why water barely comes into play on the area's oldest golf course, Desert Canyon Golf Club (formerly Fountain Hills Golf Club) built in 1970, the same year the remote community was developed. Instead, the traditional layout captivates its golfers by offering a relatively short course - with elevated tees or greens and sometimes both on nearly every hole - where birdies are probably the most popular wildlife on the track that is located about 40 minutes from downtown Phoenix.
Desert Canyon Golf Club's eighteen hole championship course is one of Arizona's top golfing facilities. Fairways, though open, play tight and prove challenging with strategically placed doglegs. Each hole of the par 71 course plays a backdrop of pristine sky and views of some of Arizona's most beautiful mountains.
