About

Holes 18
Type Public
Style Desert
Par 72
Length 7162 yards
Slope 130
Rating 72.7

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.

Staff not friendly

I arrived a little late due to traffic problems. The fellow at the pro shop just wanted the money and would not explain anything. After paying the round rather frustrated I went back to pro shop to get an explanation. He was more accommodating then and explained why I had to pay green fees when I thought I had already paid them online. Other than that the course was in good shape.

Good Experience

The back nine layout throughout the hills are great. The Bag Attendants and Starter were very friendly. The fairways and greens were in good shape; however, the rough along the fairways and greens were not.

Slow Play

Had a group of 4 ladies in front of us, we were a twosome. No marshall visible for the whole round. Ladies stopped for bathroom break after hole 4 and wouldn’t let us play through even when we were waiting for them to finish their bathroom break. We finally got in front of them at Hole 10 as they stopped for another bathroom break ( thank goodness).

There was two holes open ahead of them, we never saw them again behind us and we enjoyed the rest of the day.
