Poston Butte Golf Club sits in Florence, Arizona, roughly midway between Phoenix and Tucson in the Sonoran Desert landscape of Pinal County. Designed by Gary Panks and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies terrain characterized by the desert vegetation, arroyos, and elevation changes typical of central Arizona. Panks, a Texas-based architect known for his work throughout the Southwest, routed the layout to incorporate natural desert washes and native flora while providing views of the surrounding mountain ranges that define this part of the state. The course plays as a daily-fee facility serving both the local Florence community and visitors exploring Arizona golf beyond the major resort corridors. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with holes that move through saguaro-studded desert and around the washes that give the landscape its character. Panks designed the course to accommodate a range of skill levels while respecting the desert environment, a common approach in Arizona public golf during this era of development. Florence itself remains a smaller Arizona town with historic roots, and Poston Butte functions as a regional amenity rather than a destination course. The layout reflects the practical considerations of desert golf design from its period: strategic use of native areas, water conservation principles, and playability for a broad membership base. The course offers straightforward desert golf in a setting that captures the character of central Arizona's high desert terrain.
