Overview
The Rim Golf Club sits about an hour-and-a-half northeast of Scottsdale and unlike many traditional desert layouts, the Tom Weiskopf design is a mountain course that has plenty of trees and elevation changes. The fairways are framed by towering Ponderosa pines and dramatic rock outcroppings. Situated at 5,000 feet elevation, the course plays much shorter than its scorecard distance, which ranges from 5,200 to 7,200 yards. The scenic layout was ranked 52nd on our 100 Greatest Public list in 2011-2012.

“A pretty good and immaculately-kept golf course. The course moves back and forth so often between spectacular, mundane, intriguing, and holes that try too hard that it's a bit tough to see the course as a whole. Regardless, Payson is a lovely place to play golf!"
