History
The Estancia Club in Scottsdale, Tom Fazio's 1995 creation on the slopes of Pinnacle Peak in the McDowell Mountains north of Phoenix, is consistently rated the finest private course in Arizona and among the top desert courses in the world. Fazio used spectacular natural rock formations, saguaro cactus forests, and the dramatic mountain backdrop with artful restraint, creating a course authentically of its desert environment. The par-70 layout demands precise shotmaking on demanding two-shot holes, while panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert from elevated tees create an experience of unrivaled desert grandeur.
