Heading east on Highway 60 with Four Peaks in the background and the majestic Superstition Mountains looming to the east, you turn on South Superstition Mountain Drive and immediately realize you are heading into the most picturesque part of our Sonoran desert landscaping, fully understanding why it is called a ‘living desert’. Upon entering the gates of Superstition Mountain, it’s as though you are driving into a Tuscan village with Old World charm. With magnificent golf fairways on either side of the tree lined road shading you all the way to the outstanding Italian styled clubhouse…”Breathtaking” is the only word to describe the feeling that overwhelms you. 

Boasting 36 holes of true championship golf, designed by Jack Nicklaus and his sons, Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club servers up the Prospector and Lost Gold courses for your pleasure. 

Lost Gold is a links-style desert golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and his son, Jack Jr. The course offers generous fairways however don’t be fooled with their generosity. Strategic bunker placement as well as smaller undulating greens with some mountain golf coming into play, makes for a true challenge. Lost Gold is challenging, yet fair and, yes ladies, it is women friendly. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition, even during our “heat” season. This is just an exceptional golf property, not to be missed. It’s a pure golfing pleasure.

Hole #6, par 4, 414 yds. from the tips – by Kaleb Brantley – Played 364 yards from the blues with one bunker on the right side of the fairway, and four surrounding the green. The bunkers guarding the green are a bit of a problem causing you to hit a safe shot towards the left of the flag. My personal favorite shot on this hole is to stay in the middle of the fairway or a little left to avoid the bunkers. 

Hole #9, par 4 409 from the tips — by Kerry Brantley – My favorite hole on the front nine and the #5 handicap par 4, played 392 from the blues. A dogleg left with desert and bunker along the left fairway with two large bunkers to the right, with the fairway sloping back to the left. The green, protected by a wash in front, has 3 bunkers on the right, around the back, and another on the left. I decided to play a slight fade over the right edge of the left fairway bunker, which has a carry of 279 yards. Second shot was from 75 yards with a back right pin. I hit a sand wedge pin high about 12 feet left of the flag, missed the birdie putt on the high side and had a tap in for par. Very nice finishing hole for the front nine.

For lack of space, the back nine has too many fabulous holes to even begin writing about. Impossible to choose just one…there’s not one that you won’t love taking on as a challenge. And, of course, Hole #18, with water coming into play, is an incredible finishing hole.
