Why we love this place

We love the raw desert drama here: two Nicklaus courses framed by the Superstitions and soaked in gold-rush history. Add a genuine LPGA pedigree and you get a place that feels both wild and championship-tested, exactly the sort of story we like telling.

About Superstition Mountain Golf

Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club anchors a private gated community in Gold Canyon, tucked against the base of the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix. Jack Nicklaus, his sons and design associate Phil Smith laid out two full courses here: the Prospector, which opened in 1998, and Lost Gold, which followed in 1999, along with shorter nine-hole options. Both routings wind through dramatic Sonoran desert terrain steeped in the region's gold-prospecting lore. The Prospector course drew the spotlight as host of the LPGA Safeway International from 2004 through 2008, where champions included Annika Sorenstam, Juli Inkster and Lorena Ochoa, and it earlier staged the 2002 Countrywide Tradition. The LPGA returned to the property in 2023 for the Drive On Championship.
