The Upper Course at the Whisper Rock Golf Club is one of two golf courses that the club offers, the other being the Phil Mickelson-designed Lower Course. Tom Fazio designed the Upper Course. The signature hole on this course is the 13th. At 340 yards, it has modest length but great challenge. It requires a precise shot off an elevated tee to the fairway below and an approach shot to a guarded green. Due to Whisper Rock Golf Club's desire to keep itself distinct from the bordering residential community, the courses' designs are grouped in a way that only stretches of desert landscape separates them.

I Recommend This Course
Best Golf Club in Arizona
I have been fortunate to play nearly every amazing golf course in Arizona, but none compare to Whisper Rock in regards to course conditions, atmosphere, and overall experience. If you have the opportunity to play, take it!
