Seville Golf & Country Club

Seville Golf & Country Club sits in Gilbert, a southeastern suburb of the Phoenix metropolitan area, where residential development expanded rapidly in the late twentieth century. Designed by Gary Panks and opened in the 1990s, the course occupies relatively flat Sonoran Desert terrain typical of the region, with routing that incorporates the natural desert landscape alongside the community's housing. Panks, a Texas-based architect active during this period, designed numerous courses across the Southwest and is known for layouts that balance playability for resort and residential golfers with strategic interest. The course features the characteristic elements of desert golf in the Phoenix area: native vegetation including saguaro cacti and palo verde, sandy waste areas framing fairways, and elevated greens that require accurate approach play. Water features appear on several holes, a common design element in Arizona courses despite the arid climate. The layout serves a private membership drawn from Gilbert's residential community, offering a country club environment with dining and social amenities typical of Southwestern golf developments. Gilbert's location in the Valley of the Sun provides year-round golf conditions, with the course seeing its heaviest play during the cooler months from late fall through early spring. Seville functions primarily as a member club serving local residents, part of the broader network of golf communities that defines much of suburban Phoenix's residential character.
