Continental Golf Course

Continental Golf Course sits in Scottsdale, Arizona, designed by Greg Nash and Jeff Hardin. The course occupies desert terrain characteristic of the region, where routing and design work with the natural Sonoran landscape rather than against it. Nash and Hardin, both experienced in Arizona golf architecture, shaped a layout that reflects the practical demands of desert golf: strategic use of native vegetation, thoughtful placement relative to washes and elevation changes, and an emphasis on playability alongside the visual drama the setting provides. The design incorporates the arroyos, rock outcroppings, and saguaro-studded hillsides typical of Scottsdale's northern reaches. Fairways generally follow the land's natural movement, and greens are positioned to reward accurate approach play while offering recovery options for those who miss in the right places. The course serves both daily-fee and local play, making it accessible to a range of golfers visiting or residing in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Scottsdale's golf market is crowded and competitive, and Continental fits within the mid-tier segment of desert courses—less celebrated than the resort marquee names but offering a legitimate test of desert golf principles. The setting provides the open sky, distant mountain views, and textured ground cover that define the region's golf aesthetic. Conditions vary with season and maintenance cycles, as is common among Arizona's public-access facilities.
