Opened in 1988, the Canyon course at Forest Highlands was created by the design duo of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. It is currently the premier golf course in the State of Arizona.
The Canyon is one of two courses on the Forest Highlands 1,100-acre site (the Meadow course is the other layout which opened in 1999). As the name implies, it is set amongst Ponderosa Pine, Oak and Aspen trees at 7,000 feet above sea level.
Host venue for the 2006 US Mid-Amateur Championship, the Canyon is routed through the forest and every manicured bluegrass fairway is tree-lined. Changes in elevation, streams and naturally, canyons are all features of the course. There are also some amazing vistas to drink in around the course.
The Canyon course at Forest Highlands has some stunning holes and perhaps the best is the 9th, known as “Valley”, and it’s also the signature hole. This 466-yard par four double-doglegs to a green with water to the right of the putting surface. Another great hole is the 17th, called “Aspen”. It’s a short par four where you drive over a small stream and then dogleg left to a pretty green nestling in the trees.
