Located just outside Phoenix, Gold Canyon Golf Resort boasts two 18-hole championship golf courses: Dinosaur Mountain and The Sidewinder.This resort added nine new holes to an existing nine to create the Sidewinder Course, which opened in September, 1998.

The course now measures 6,481 yards from the back tees and plays to a par of 71.The picturesque Dinosaur Mountain Course can be difficult for the beginning to intermediate player. It is a par 70 and measures 6,584 yards from the back tees. Many great views of the Superstition Mountains and surrounding valleys can be seen from every hole. The course is a target-style design. The small greens are fast, and the fairways are narrow.Instruction is available through Resort Golf Schools, based at the resort and led by Scott Sackett, one of "GOLF Magazine’s" "Top 100 Teachers."

Wonderful experience for out of towners, Apr 28, 2004

reviewer: Sam from Denver, CO

We double dipped it..Sidewinder in the morning and Dinasaur in the afternoon on a Saturday ($165 included both courses, carts, and range balls). Pace of play was good on both courses (< 4 hours each). Sidewinder is a fun track with tough large greens. Dinosaur is a must play for out of state visitors. The views and landscape is Arizona at its finest! Had a blast and hope to return each year.

This Dinosaur is not Extinct, Apr 18, 2004

reviewer: Brian Silk from Scottsdale AZ, & Melbourne Australia

My son, a Scratch golfer recommended this course to me (a 20 somethng handicapper). It lived up to his report. The views are amazing, the course even more so. Back tees require a low handicap, accuracy is important, the desert areas are unforgiving, I played the Blues around 6300 yards. A couple of greens needed some work but generally in very good condition. Range balls are included, but no drivers on the range. The food carts are regular and well stocked. If you want a cheaper round, check AZ Tee Times, I saved approx. $50.

Dinosaur Mountain, Feb 22, 2004

reviewer: Matt Snell from Memphis, TN

The course was reasonably picturesque. The greens were in poor shape. They don't include range balls in the fee.

Golfable Golf Quote of the Day:

" Golf is the cruelest of sports. Like life, it's unfair. It's a harlot. A trollop. It leads you on. It never lives up to its promises.... It's a boulevard of broken dreams. It plays with men. And runs off with the butcher. -- Jim Murray "
