Estancia Golf Course Review

The Estancia Golf Course was designed by the famous architect Tom Fazio and got opened for players back in 1995. As per its accolades, the Estancia Golf Course was ranked 61st by the prestigious magazine Golf Digests 2013 2014 edition of its Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in America and first in its home state (Arizona). What to expect playing the Estancia? Well, to begin with, if there ever was a high end golf club, this is it by any metrics. The Estancia Golf Course is the property of Discovery Land Company which owns a number of prestigious golf clubs in the United States. The golf course sits on a beautiful piece of real estate, 640 acres of pristine land in the Arizona desert respectively. The thing is that given its location, i.e. the Arizonian desert, it makes for the ideal place to build a golf course, considering that you also benefit from the famous Pinnacle Peak landmark on your premises.

Tom Fazio created a very interesting layout which sprawls for miles through the native vegetation that frames the golf course, i.e. cactuses (dont expect lush forests here), and a whole lot of boulders for variety. The fairways are large and generous while the courses layout will provide you with a great deal of variety in terms of challenges and hole lengths. Keep in mind that the Estancia Golf Course is located inside a gated community (Estancia) which allows only members and their guests, so keep that in mind before paying a visit. The 18 hole championship grade course designed by one of the worlds best architects features 7314 yards of outstanding golf from its longest tees, together with breathtaking views and bent grass greens, making for the purest golf experience imaginable, at least in this part of the world. Truth be told, the Estancia makes for one of the best maintained and the most pristine golf courses Ive ever played, with the layout using very beautifully the natural topography of the terrain, along with a unique and interesting routing and having all the ingredients for the perfect private enclave aimed at pleasing golf aficionados.
