About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Style Desert
Par 72
Length 6729 yards
Slope 129
Rating 71.9

The Tonto Verde Golf Club offers two uniquely testing 18-hole championship golf courses, each featuring marvelous vistas, smack dab in the middle of the Arizona desert, which have earned honors for their design and playability. The golf courses were designed by David Graham and Gary Panks, who kept the features created by nature when they put together the Peaks golf course, which measures 6,744 yards.

The two golf courses at the Tonto Verde Golf Club feature desert-style target-golf designs, but the designers ensured that golfers of all levels would be able to play them.

The Peaks golf course at the Tonto Verde Golf Club is laid out shorter and skinnier from the tees than its sibling, the Ranch golf course; however, it doesn't offer any less of a challenge for golfers of all levels.

1st time playing tonto verde

Very nice golf course. Will be back for sure. Greens and fairways, sandtraps in excellent condition. Love the mountain views and the homes around the course. Very challenging from the tips. The price is right for this course. Thanks for your hospitality.

Ausome course

Played the peaks before great course much tighter than the ranch must be accurate. Greens firmer than usual tough to stop the ball. Everything is 5 star about this course however a tad maniacal above driving in the rough could be friendlier about that.

Tonto Verde - Ranch, A Hidden Gem

My visit to Tonto Verde reminded me of the gem this course is. It is nestled in a residential community in Rio Verde, so every hole is adjacent to homes. Fortunately, they are not so close that they feel intrusive or in play on your errant shots. The setting is very serene, with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. The course itself was in wonderful condition. The fairways were green and well kept, and the greens were fabulous. Except for a handful of unrepaired ballmarks (players' fault, not the club's) the greens were smooth and rolled true, but quick. The bunkers, which I visited often, and are in good numbers on this course, were great. Nice, soft, white sand. Not hard dirt that is found so often at courses out here. The hole layouts were not particularly difficult, but presented a fair challenge, forcing you to choose the proper approach to the greens. The driving range is also wonderful. And, the staff was very friendly. Finally, if you visit this course, take the drive through Fountain Hills, up Pinnacle Road. It's one beautiful ride. I highly recommend this course.

Very nice, but you better have hit your driver straight

Very good, solid course. Great condition. Challenging, but fair. With that said, you better hit the tee ball straight or it will make for a long day. Good greens.
