GolfTroop Review

Southern Dunes is a remarkable golf course located in Maricopa in the Ak-Chin Indian Community, about 50 minutes from the Scottsdale area. Sitting on over 320 acres of land, the infamous Fred Couples, designed a remarkable Australian Sand Belt style golf course with the help of Schmidt-Curley Designs. We like to call it Bunker City here at GolfTroop, but well worth the longer drive! Hosting many premier PGA events such as the Arizona Open in 2019, and the Annual U.S. Open Qualifier; this beast of a links style golf course will challenge anyone who steps up to the tee. With lengthy yardages like 7,546 from the tips! Luckily, there are many tee box options so even the weekend warrior can enjoy such a premier golf course. This track plays hard and fast! So be prepared to use your putter around the greens in place of chipping. You can easily post a low score here, but stay out of the traps as that will reflect on your scorecard. Even if you find the fairway on every hole, this course will show it's teeth with it's smaller greens; and who would have thought, they are well protected by bunkers. So don't pin seek here if you are not a low handicap golfer; just get it on the green! No matter your skill level, this golf course will leave a lasting memory of fine Arizona desert golf!
