Lost Gold at Superstition Mountain Golf Club

Lost Gold at Superstition Mountain is etched into Arizona golfing lore as a demanding test forged within the mythic shadow of its namesake mountain range. The course, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Sonoran Desert in Gold Canyon, presents a stark contrast to the emerald fairways typically associated with desert golf.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Lost Gold favors strategic play over brute power. Wide fairways give way to subtly contoured greens, rewarding thoughtful approaches and penalizing errant shots. This modern design challenges players with natural desert washes and strategically placed bunkers demanding consideration and course management at every turn. While the course never held a significant professional tour event, it is well known as a demanding but fair layout that encourages match play.

Superstition Mountain is a vibrant club steeped in rich golf traditions and casual elegance. The club maintains a strong sense of community among its membership. There are plenty of club tournaments and it’s not uncommon to see members wagering good-natured side bets on the practice putting green before their rounds. The club's dedication to fostering a welcoming atmosphere extends beyond the course, with social events and dining options that further enhance the member experience.
