Cave Creek
A winding creek leading to wide rolling fairways, allows for varying shot selections at the most popular municipal course in Phoenix with over 60,000 rounds played annually. Started in 1983 as a landfill reclamation project, Cave Creek Golf Course is a pioneer of sorts in environmental golf course design. Success stories like Cave Creek prove that these sites can be put to worthwhile and environmentally friendly uses - good news for all concerned.  Cave Creek Golf Course is open from dawn to dusk daily, year-round.
