About
San Tan Highlands (formerly known as The Golf Club at Johnson Ranch) boasts a championship course with a front nine that winds through the Sonoran desert and a back nine that finishes at the base of the bordering San Tan Mountains. Naturally, the first half of the golf course is relatively flat and the latter half has a hilly terrain. In contrast to its categorization as a desert course, this course has grass from the tees to the greens but the cactus-filled landscape definitely implies desert. The greens are quite large and undulating and the fairways are fairly open with generous landing areas. Strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards come into play throughout the San Tan Highlands.

Great scenery Photo submitted by Shypoke55 on 04/13/2013
Very Nice Day
We were welcomed by Lloyd and the starting staff were exceptional. It was a great day with good friends and my son.
Excellent Course
The course was in very good condition. Just a few bare spots, but very minimal. Greens were in excellent condition. Pace was very good. The back 9 is just a beautiful track with wonderful scenery and challenging golf holes. Will definitely be back.
Scenic Course with great layout
A course you definitely have to play, because of the awesome scenery and the great layout. It's amazing how the course is built into the hills. Elevated tees and greens give you a spectacular view.
The course itself is in okay shape. Greens are slow but good.
We played it on Sunday around noon and it felt like we were the only people on the course.
Go there and don't forget to bring your 'camera'!
Expensive, but a great course
Challenging course thats well kept with great scenery, but i dont understand the extremely high rates.
Wonderful Time!
Snagged a single hot deal for the early afternoon. Three others that I played with were wonderful and the course is kept well, but summer is coming!! Staff wasn't rude or sub par by any means, just most to be in some sort of rut for the day. Overall an absolute blast of a day!!
nice course with wide fairways
Course in very good conditions. Flat tee boxes.
Links course . I played it for the first time and I will play it again
Solid track
My first time playing the course in over a year. The course was in great shape, they continue to landscape around the tee boxes and greens a far cry from 10 years ago.
Staff was great and food is better
Great coarse pace of play much better than last tume
We love this course!
The front 9 is not the best but the back 9 is beautiful. We love this course and always have a great time.
Condition going down
The greens were in good shape, fairways really showing some brown areas and tee boxes were quite mixed. The driving range area for hitting was terrible. The amenities were okay but some obvious omissions (eg. the water bucket on tee box 1 was completely dry). The course has a nice layout and is good to play but the level of condition and some services have deteriorated lately.
