Eagle Mountain Golf Club
Course Highlight

About the Course
Ranked among the Top 50 Public Courses in the Country by Golf World and named the #1 Public Golf Course in Arizona by Ranking Arizona Business in 2020, Eagle Mountain Golf Club earned a 4.5-star rating from Golf Digest. Nestled in the rugged McDowell Mountains, the course is carved from natural hills and valleys, creating dramatic elevation changes and strategic challenges throughout the Sonoran Desert landscape. The signature 17th hole, 'Sunset Point,' features a green perched precariously on the edge of a desert ravine, demanding precision to avoid the abyss below. Holes 10 and 18 showcase elevated tees overlooking expansive lakes and canyons, delivering visual drama that few courses can match. Generous fairways may lull players into a false sense of security, but the approach shots reveal the true test: undulating, tiered greens with some of the most unique green complexes in all of Scottsdale, where both beauty and challenge converge at every turn.
