North at Antelope Hills Golf Course

The North Course at Antelope Hills Golf Course opened in 1956 as the original layout at this municipal facility in Prescott, Arizona. Designed by Lawrence Hughes, a regional architect active in the Southwest during the mid-twentieth century, the course occupies rolling terrain at approximately 5,300 feet elevation in the high country north of Phoenix. The property sits within a landscape of ponderosa pine, juniper, and native grasses characteristic of Arizona's central highlands, offering a notably different environment from the desert courses found at lower elevations.

The routing makes use of the natural contours and elevation changes across the property, with fairways that move through the high-desert terrain. The course plays to a modest yardage by contemporary standards, reflecting its 1950s origins, though the elevation affects distance and club selection. Several holes incorporate the native vegetation and rock outcroppings into their design, while others open up to views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Antelope Hills operates as a public facility serving both local golfers and visitors to the Prescott area. The North Course is the older of two layouts at the property—a South Course was added later to expand capacity. The facility provides straightforward golf in a mountain setting, with conditions and maintenance typical of a well-trafficked municipal operation. The course remains a fixture in the Prescott golf scene, offering accessible play in the cooler climate of Arizona's high country.
