Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club - Lost Gold Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Lost Gold Course at Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club stays true to the club's name with a layout that snakes across the desert landscape of the Superstition Mountains. It is one of two golf courses at the club designed by Jack Nicklaus and his sons, the other being the harmoniously named Prospector Course. Both golf courses have the signature risk-and-reward design that is a Nicklaus trademark. The Lost Gold Course has strategic bunker placements and smaller greens of the two courses, giving it a higher shot value. The links-style design features generous fairways and water hazards that come into play on a few holes.

Absolute treat!
Playing the Prospector course was an absolute treat! Each hole was special and immaculatley conditioned. Wide fairways allowed for less-than-perfect shots off the tee. It was fun to visulize how the LPGA pros hit their shots on #18.
WOW
This is one of the finest facilities I have ever played Excellent Staff conditions and courses. It is a Must Play!!!
Very scenic course.
Must keep it in the fairway. Greens were hard to hold and even harder to putt. Very fast undulating greens.
One of my top ten for the region. Clean course well maintained, would jump at every chance to play again.
A challenging but fun course because it is in such premium shape always. The staff and service is second to none.
Best East Valley Course
As you drive into the community, you are aware of the class. When you arrive at the clubhouse you are bowled over by the beautiful architecture. I've played both courses at Superstition Mountain now and they both feel very similar to me. Neither is overly demanding from the tee but the course can play long if you choose the back tees. The approach shots are well laid out and definitely there are preferential targets within the green complexes rewarding the better iron shots. The conditioning has been immaculate both times. The staff and hospitality are the best I've ever encountered (on both occasions!). One really unique feature is that they provide ice cold bottled water at intervals around the tee boxes for FREE. Both of my rounds have been during the summer because the greens fees are within my price range at that time. Having said that, it was worth every penny and I wouldn't hesitate to play the course for more money than I paid. The experience is worth it, great value. Lastly, I recall looking at the trees and bushes and how they were pruned and thinking there wasn't even one limb out of place. One of my favorite courses and experiences in the valley of the sun.
Great layout
Very accommodating, friendly staff!. Very scenic layout. Enjoyed playing there. Looking forward going back!
