Overview
About an hour and a half northeast of Phoenix, Chaparral Pines is a private mountain course designed by two-time major champion David Graham. The course—formerly owned by Phil Mickelson—is tight and demanding with tall pines and rocky outcroppings guarding many landing areas. The heavily wooded mountain setting is unique for Arizona, with a feel more reminiscent of golf in the Lake Tahoe area.

“Well conditioned course with lots of character. Tree lined fairways are pinched at points making for a long day if you are struggling off the tee. Green complexes are above average."

“If you are hitting the ball well with accuracy the day you play you will do well here. There are some doglegs through trees that require accuracy as well as may straight away holes with more generous landing areas. It was in good condition the day I played here. I enjoyed this course and will come back."
