Boasting two award-winning golf courses and extraordinary views of the Sonoran Desert, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is Arizona’s Ultimate Golf Experience. There are no houses, condos or townhomes lining these fairways. At We-Ko-Pa, the Sonoran Desert is your neighbor and the term “high-rise” is reserved for the ancient saguaros that litter the landscape. The Cholla Course, designed by Scott Miller, is dramatic to say the least as it plays across desert washes and atop ridges flowing seamlessly into greens tucked into hillsides and desert arroyos. Cholla is one of the most pristine desert golf experiences in the Southwest. Threading through an open expanse overlooking the Verde and Salt River Valleys, Red Mountain, and the Superstition Mountains, Cholla preserves the essence and purity of desert-style golf. In fact, you will often hear as much talk of the setting and sensational views as you will about the incredible golf course at hand.
Designed by the world-renowned golf architecture team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the Saguaro Course at We-Ko-Pa is a desert golf experience unlike any other. Integrating design elements not commonly found in the desert, the course is built for walking and has more in common with older, more traditional courses where greens are close to tees and the course follows the natural movement of the land.
Both courses have received numerous awards and accolades from respected golf publications including Golfweek who has ranked Saguaro the No. 1 best course you can play in Arizona 14 of the last 15 years. Cholla has held a Top-10 spot for the better part of two decades.
Whether you play the Cholla Course or the Saguaro Course, at We-Ko-Pa you’re in for the ultimate Arizona golf experience.
