Description
Often cited as the Southwest's first true desert course, Desert Forest embraces minimalism across natural, rumpled terrain beneath Black Mountain in Carefree. Robert 'Red' Lawrence's 1962 design forgoes water hazards and ornamental shaping in favor of tight corridors through raw Sonoran desert. The routing moves with the land, asking for precise angles and disciplined course management. Recent championships - from USGA events to collegiate majors - underscore how its subtle defenses still test modern players. An excellent practice area and driving range support the club's walking-centric, pure-golf ethos.
