Las Colinas Golf Course


About this course
Las Colinas Golf Course sits in Queen Creek, a growing community in the southeastern portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Designed by Mike Asmundson and opened in the mid-1990s, the course serves as a public facility in a region that has transitioned from agricultural land to residential development over recent decades. The layout reflects the desert terrain common to this part of the Sonoran Desert, with the San Tan Mountains visible in the distance providing a backdrop to the property. Asmundson's design works within the natural topography of the area, incorporating the native vegetation and desert washes that characterize the landscape. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes that are modest but meaningful in shaping hole strategy and sightlines. Players encounter a mix of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes, with desert carries and strategic bunkering defining the challenge. Water features appear on several holes, a common element in Arizona desert courses where irrigation ponds serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. The course caters primarily to local residents and visitors seeking accessible golf in the Queen Creek area, which has grown substantially in population since the course opened. Las Colinas operates as a daily-fee facility with a straightforward clubhouse offering basic amenities. The layout provides a playable test for golfers of varying abilities, with multiple tee boxes allowing for different yardages and challenge levels across the desert terrain.

Getting there
Las Colinas Golf Course sits in the high desert east of Phoenix, most easily reached via Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), roughly forty-five minutes to an hour south and east through the sprawling suburbs of the greater Phoenix valley before the landscape opens into the Sonoran terrain surrounding Queen Creek. For those arriving by private aircraft, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) offers a closer alternative, cutting the ground transfer to thirty minutes or less. The final stretch carries you past the distinctive saguaro-studded foothills and into the gated community itself, where the course emerges from the desert floor with the San Tan Mountains rising in the distance - a fitting arrival to one of Arizona's most architecturally ambitious desert layouts.
