Falcon at Falcon Golf Club

Falcon Golf Club sits in Litchfield Park, a community in the West Valley of metropolitan Phoenix known for its agricultural heritage and planned residential development. Designed by Brian Curley and opened in the early 2000s, the course occupies relatively flat desert terrain typical of the region, where designers work with subtle grade changes and strategic bunkering to create interest on land that lacks dramatic elevation. Curley, who has built an extensive portfolio of courses across Asia and the American Southwest, employs desert-style architecture here with native vegetation framing fairways and waste areas integrated into the design.

The routing takes advantage of the open desert landscape, with holes that play through corridors of mesquite, palo verde, and saguaro. Water features appear on several holes, a common element in Arizona daily-fee and residential courses where irrigation ponds serve dual purposes. The layout offers multiple tee sets to accommodate different skill levels, reflecting the course's role as a public-access facility serving both local residents and visitors to the Phoenix area.

Falcon operates as part of the broader golf market in the West Valley, where courses compete on conditioning, pace of play, and value. The climate allows for year-round golf, with peak season running from late fall through early spring when temperatures are moderate and turf conditions are at their best. The course provides a straightforward desert golf experience without the elevation changes found in courses built against the nearby mountain ranges.
