The Rancho Manana Golf Club is where Mother Nature plays. Located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert in historic Cave Creek, Arizona, this course features a par 70, championship course with dramatic elevation changes and unspoiled desert terrain. It invites you to match your skills against nature while enjoying the spactacular and unforgettable surrounding desert views of Black Mountain, Skull Mesa, Elephant Butte and the nearby Tonto National Forest. Elevated holes present panoramic views of all of this in tranquil, peacefulness and provide a magnificent backdrop in every direction.

Although just 6,004 yards from the back tees, the length for longer hitters is substituted by placing a premium on accuracy - off the tee as well as on approach shots. This form of distance and shot-making makes the course enticing for all levels of golfers. The length of the course doesn't mean you should leave your driver at home, just know when to play conservatively and when to let it rip. Tight fairways, thick desert terrain, elevated greens and water on a group of holes provide enough incentive to play smart off the tee. Besides, the undulating greens are tricky enough to hit out of the fairway -- let alone a desert bush on the rocky native floor. Many of the putting surfaces are surrounded by steep, rolling banks that can dump shots hit just off-center, rolling through the grass, rocks and desert. This hidden jewel is another example of the exquisite beauty that is Arizona and should not be missed on your next vacation.
