Desert Mountain Apache Golf Course

The Apache Golf Course at Desert Mountain was designed by Jack Nicklaus and features 18 holes with a par of 72 and 7,211 yards. Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, the course winds gracefully through gentle desert terrain with large, lush greens and moderate, rolling fairways. It is considered one of the more forgiving and playable courses within the Desert Mountain community, featuring ample collection areas around the greens with no forced carries, making it accessible to golfers of varying skill levels. However, the course still presents challenges through its length and elevation changes, with sloping fairways and deceptive putting surfaces. Signature holes include #3, #15, #16, and #18. The course is known for its relaxed atmosphere while maintaining championship-level maintenance, making it popular with senior golfers and beginners. The associated Apache Clubhouse blends traditional adobe and Grand Canyon lodge architecture and houses Native American art, along with an upscale golf boutique and restaurant specializing in steak and seafood.
