We-Ko-Pa
Cholla
The Cholla Course is a dramatic, target‑style desert layout designed by Scott Miller that plays through arroyos, ridges and pristine Sonoran Desert terrain with panoramic views of Red Mountain, Four Peaks and the Superstition Mountains. It’s known for its bold features, strategic risk‑reward shots and clearly defined landing areas that make each hole visually striking and engaging. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or keen to experience true Southwestern golf, Cholla delivers a challenging but unforgettable round.
Saguaro
The Saguaro Course is a more traditional, walkable desert layout designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, featuring gently rolling fairways framed by native desert flora and striking mountain backdrops. It emphasizes strategic shot-making with wide landing areas, natural contours, and subtle green complexes that reward thoughtful play. Ideal for golfers of all skill levels, Saguaro offers a serene, immersive desert experience just steps from the resort.
Private Home
A private home is a great choice for a golf getaway, offering more space and privacy than a typical hotel. With multiple bedrooms and comfortable living areas, everyone in your group can spread out and relax after a day on the course. You’ll have the freedom to cook your own meals, gather together in the evenings, and enjoy a more personal, home-like experience. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and convenience for a golf trip with friends or family.

SunRidge Canyon
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club is an 18-hole public golf course in Fountain Hills, Arizona, set amid the dramatic ridges and canyons of the Sonoran Desert with scenic elevation changes and panoramic mountain views. Designed by Keith Foster, the par-71 layout features a challenging mix of holes, including the memorable “Wicked 6” finishing stretch that tests golfers of all skill levels. Beyond golf, the club offers a pro shop, driving range, instruction, and the Wicked Six Bar & Grill for food and drinks after your round.
Desert Canyon
Desert Canyon Golf Club is a classic desert layout that winds through rugged terrain with dramatic elevation changes, strategic doglegs, and constant visual interest. Designed by John Allen, the course balances tight, target-style holes with more open stretches, rewarding smart shot placement and course management. Panoramic desert and mountain views — highlighted by the iconic fountain visible from many holes — make every round feel memorable.
Resort - Suite
A suite offers noticeably more space than a standard room, with separate living and sleeping areas and extra room to stretch out after a round on the links. Many suites include a kitchenette or full kitchen area and a private balcony where you can enjoy morning coffee or sunset views over the desert, mountains, or golf course fairways. Combined with its golf‑focused setting near the We‑Ko‑Pa Golf Club, the added living space and outdoor balcony make it a great choice for golf getaways or extended stays.
