Nestled at the base of the White Tank Mountains, the Founders Course at Verrado Golf Club offers a classic desert golf experience that seamlessly blends natural beauty with strategic design. Co-designed by PGA Tour veteran Tom Lehman and architect John Fought, this par-72 layout stretches over 7,200 yards, featuring rolling fairways, dramatic elevation changes, and panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape.

“The Founders Course is a must-play in the Phoenix area. The elevation changes and mountain vistas make for an unforgettable round.” – Jason M., Avid Golf Traveler  

The course’s design incorporates generous landing areas and multiple tee boxes, accommodating golfers of all skill levels. Strategically placed bunkers and contoured greens demand thoughtful shot-making, while the natural desert washes and rock outcroppings add both challenge and aesthetic appeal. The back nine ascends into the foothills, offering some of the most picturesque holes in the region.

Complementing the on-course experience, the Founders Course boasts excellent practice facilities, including a grass driving range, short game area, and putting green. The clubhouse features the Verrado Grille, where golfers can relax and enjoy a meal with stunning views of the course and surrounding mountains.
