GOLD CANYON GOLF RESORT - DINOSAUR MOUNTAIN

Dinosaur Mountain at Gold Canyon Golf Resort is one of the most unique and celebrated public golf courses in all of Arizona. Designed by Ken Kavanaugh and nestled at the base of the Superstition Mountains in Gold Canyon, AZ, the par-70 layout delivers dramatic tee-to-green elevation changes unlike anything else in the Valley.

“Dinosaur Mountain is outstanding; good conditions, fantastic views, and lots of elevation. It is among the very best in the Phoenix area and at a great price. If this course were located in Scottsdale, the fee would be north of $450.” 

Every tee box delivers a panoramic vista and a fresh challenge, as the course takes you up, over, and around the mountain through long, loping fairways. Signature holes four and five are among the most memorable in Arizona golf. Consistently rated the #1 public course in Arizona, Dinosaur Mountain is the kind of bucket-list round that keeps groups coming back year after year.

Why Should You Play at Dinosaur Mountain?
  • Most dramatic elevation changes of any course in AZ
  • Consistently rated #1 public course in Arizona
  • Panoramic Superstition Mountain views on every hole
  • Signature holes #4 and #5 are bucket-list worthy
  • Exceptional value vs. comparable Scottsdale courses
