“Whether you play the award-winning Cholla Course or the new Saguaro Course, you will be in for a desert golf experience like no other in Arizona.” That’s what they say on We-Ko-Pa. It’s true? I think it very well could be, but you will have to judge for yourself. The We-Ko-Pa Golf Club in Ft McDowell, AZ, about thirty-five miles from Phoenix via Route 87, features two of the highest-rated public golf courses in the state: the Cholla (Scott Miller) and the Saguaro (Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw). These two stunning 18-hole desert layouts were designed by two of the biggest names in golf.
Both sections are tough and challenging, but play within your game (which means choosing the exit boxes that suit your skill level) and you can score well. The We-Ko-Pa complex was developed by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, and includes a world-class practice facility, a full-service pro shop, and a clubhouse offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains – the mountains. McDowell, Red Mountain, Four Peaks and the Superstitions, and, of course, the beautiful Sonoran Desert.

The We-Ko-Pa experience:
They talk a lot about “The Experience” at We-Ko-Pa, “From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave us, you will receive the kind of customer service that has helped make the We-Ko-Pa Experience a so special for each of our guests. Whether you are “local” or in the valley for business or pleasure, our staff is here to help make your visit a memorable one. “
We-Ko-Pa is different from other Arizona golf courses because “there are no houses, condos, or townhouses lining these streets.” This is not a resort. Golf is what We-Ko-Pa is all about. As close as it is to Phoenix and its airport (it is only 20 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport), and indeed the great and great golf resorts in the area, it would be a shame not to take advantage of its proximity to all that is golf in Arizona and play it annoying. You will not be disappointed.
