Apache Stronghold Golf Club
Apache Stronghold Golf Club is located on a wilderness desert site, 90 miles northeast of Phoenix and/or 100 miles north of Tucson. Unlike the desert courses of the Valley of the Sun, it won't ever be spoiled by development, as it is owned and operated by the San Carlos Apache Tribe as an adjunct to their Apache Gold Casino Resort. The course features a 3,200 foot elevation, with two par-5 holes of over 600 yards each, and five par-4's which push the envelope. Many of the fairways on the front nine are isolated in their own valleys, surrounded by 20 to 50 foot hills covered in sage and mesquite trees. Distant mountain ranges provide a backdrop for several greens, including the par-3 14th, a modified Redan hole set atop a 90-foot ridge at the southern end of the course. You're sure to find Apache Stronghold both challenging and spectacular.
