REVIEW:
Sanctuary
Golf Club is located on the north side of Scottsdale. There
are many top courses in the Scottsdale area and Sanctuary
Golf Club ranks right up with the others. It is an easy
30-minute drive from just about anywhere in the metro area.
Sanctuary Golf Club is another golf course owned and managed
by SunCor Golf. They have developed and managed some of
the best golf courses in America and Sanctuary Golf Club
is a fine addition the group of courses under their umbrella.
Tom Patrick, vice president of SunCor Golf tells us that
Sanctuary Golf Club is the first Audubon International Signature
golf course in the Valley of the Sun.
The layout of the course was challenging and yet fair and
offered us the chance to use a variety of shots. We enjoyed
having a GPS system on our cart so we could plan our approach
to each hole. The course is superbly maintained, as we would
expect from a SunCor course. We were first of the tee early
in the morning and we could see right away that we were
going to enjoy this course. The staff was very accommodating
and did everything they could to make sure we had an enjoyable
round of golf. The surrounding area provided us with some
great views of Camelback Mountain. The par-3 # 8 was especially
beautiful with a large water feature, which had two multi-tiered
waterfalls. With five sets of tees golfers of all skill
levels can pick a distance that will be right for them.
We had a great day of golf at Sanctuary Golf Club and we
are confident that any golfers who play here will have the
same experience.
RATING:
GolfTest USA recommends the Sanctuary Golf Club as
an "Elite" golf course in the Phoenix area.
