Dinosaur Mountain at Gold Canyon Golf Resort

Played sidewinder. Great track with stunning scenery through the front9 and a number of the back 9 holes. Practice facility is poor (off of mats and can't hit driver in the range) but the course is a lot of fun. Some challenging holes but overall not too difficult of a course. I have played it a number of times and it's always in great shape. Greens are quick and true. It's a worthy little brother to Gold Canyon's other course, Dinosaur Mountain which I'd highly recommend to anyone's "to-do" list.

Played in under 4 hours....great value and very challenging course overall. You can't beat the value with the beauty of the landscape. I will be back

Corse is in great shape. Challenging and scenic. 4 hr. round

Gorgeous views of Superstition Mts. and the desert. Course is fun and challenging.

This course is not only challenging but one of the most beautiful and scenic courses you will ever play. The staff was super!

Staff very friendly and helpfully even though one of our players wasn't able to play because of a cyst on his leg. They did not charge us for that person even though we had prepaid through Golfnow.

We played Sidewinder at Gold Canyon.
The golf course is challenging with the right amount of obstacles to make the round of golf enjoyable for all golfers. You don't have to be a sub 10 hdcp. to enjoy the course. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The greens are fast and the sand traps playable in that they are soft and fluffy not hard pan and rocky like a few courses I've played in Arizona. I definitely recommend this course to everyone and to bring a camera to take pictures of the area. The starter we had was friendly, helpful and actually got us started early which is remarkable. I enjoyed the the variety of long and short holes and noticed the variety of tee boxes for all golfers of various abilities. The ranger was seen often and was informative of the rate of play ahead of us. The golf was kept at a steady pace, not too fast or too slow which really improved the enjoyment of the day.

well maintained with good pace of play, a little. pricey. Spectacular views. Tricky greens.but smooth putting surfaces throughout.

The golf course is very scenic and is very well maintened.
The first nine holes are average but the nine back holes are more challenging. You will not find water to drink on the course so take some bottles to go on the course.
The dinausor course is even more scenic.

This was a great course to play. The prettiest veiws you will see. Very friendly staff, quick pace of play and great conditions. I have played it 3 times already in 2 1/2 weeks and would like to play it once more before I leave town.

Felt like splurging while on vacation so we chose Gold Canyon as we were staying there. Course was in awsome condition for the amount of play it gets. Very challenging course but fair. Greens were in beautiful condition. Front and back 9s very different. Fun playing a top notch course.

I had an out of state visitor and this is not a cheap course and we had a 2:30 tee time and things moved very slow. We were unable to play the 18th hole because of darkness. I feel the marshall could have sped things up or they booked too many players. Other than that we had an enjoyable day.

I have played Dinosaur Mountain several times and seem to enjoy it more each time. The only drawback on my most recent round was the slow play of the group in front of us who seemed to think that there were only four players on the course and were trying their best to consume all the beer in the valley.

Who knew you could get valet parking and a 5 min massage both complimentary at a golf course.
GolfNow really came through with a great cost for my 4 some.
Can't beleive the bounce and roll, only 2 holes with houses to close for comfort.
Definetly come back for another round.

Lush fairways,true rolling greens and great mountain views make for a fun round of golf on the Sidewinder course.We had a good rate at 1:57pm and still managed to finish all 18 holes even on a very full course.I would definitely play this course again and look forward very much to playing the Dinasour Mountain course as well.

This is my favorite course in the valley and don't get tired of playing it multiple times. Variety of holes, elevation changes, great shape, friendly staff and a challenge. Can't bring the big stick out on all the holes which make you think and play smart golf. Difficult but not stupid from tips. Did not see a yardage book which would be benefial as there only about 3 holes on course that are flat and a couple that are somewhat blind or a choice of tee shots. Will go back again and again to The Dinosaur!

This course is full value for it's #1 rating. Pricey but a must see.

Great visual. Beautiful desert golf with friendly staff.

As a Tucson golfer this course is comparable to mid-tier courses like Starr Pass, Tucson National or Vistoso; although these courses are in much better condition than this course. Gold Canyon greens were in desperate need of divot repair, putts were affected around the hole by divots. Fairways were in great conditon with very large fairways. There is OB everywhere. For the price I would have like a tougher layout, better greens and a greater challenge.

The pace of play on the front nine was good but the back nine was much slower. The was no staff at the bag drop when we finished play which surprised me.
