GOLD CANYON GOLF RST - DINOSAUR MOUNTAIN
GOLD CANYON, AZ
Carved out of the foothills of the scenic Superstition Mountains, the 36 holes of desert mountain golf offer two distinct playing options. Dinosaur Mountain, the #1 public course in Arizona for 2001-2002, takes golfers into the high Sonoran Desert. A round of golf includes breathtaking views of the Superstition Mountains and dramatic tee-to-green elevation changes. Sidewinder, Gold Canyon's newest course, runs through the land's natural arroyos and dry creek beds, providing a pristine desert golf experience. Gold Canyon is located just 35 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor airport.

Golfer Comments
05/17/2010 - LOVE this course!!!!! Posted by Malcom (Beaumont, CA)
04/26/2010 - Great staff. Posted by Cindy (Conifer, CO)
04/26/2010 - Excellant in all regards. Make an early tee time you will want to play twice. Fantastic conditions and some of the best views around. Bring your camera!!! Posted by Robert (Glen Ellyn, IL)
03/28/2010 - One of the most beautiful layouts i have ever played! Posted by Douglas (Chestertown, MD)
03/28/2010 - This was the best course that we played (better than WeKoPa). Excellent greens, perfect fairways. The views surrounding the course and elevation changes make the day very memorable. Posted by Scott (Arnold, MD)
03/18/2010 - Very nice course. Would recommend this course to anyone going to Phoenix. Posted by Charles (Corry, PA)
05/06/2008 - Wonderful course with great conditioning. Views while on course and layout were great. Posted by Charles (North Providence, RI)
04/28/2008 - One of the most scenic in the area. Top shelf. Posted by Steve (Plymouth, WI)
03/24/2008 - We love dinaosaur. The practice facilities are wanting. Posted by Nello (Orland Park, IL)
03/17/2008 - Although the surroundings were beautiful, the course itself was not as great as I expected given the other reviews. The course has many extreme elevation changes, many holes looked the same and it did not flow naturally through the mountain. The par 3s were particularly boring. Long drive from Scottsdale for a disappointing course. Posted by Thom (Irvine, CA)
