The Lost Gold Course at Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club stays true to the club's name with a layout that snakes across the desert landscape of the Superstition Mountains. It is one of two golf courses at the club designed by Jack Nicklaus and his sons, the other being the harmoniously named Prospector Course. Both golf courses have the signature risk-and-reward design that is a Nicklaus trademark. The Lost Gold Course has strategic bunker placements and smaller greens of the two courses, giving it a higher shot value. The links-style design features generous fairways and water hazards that come into play on a few holes.

Excellent course condition, greens were perfect

Golf course, greens and range were all in excellent condition. Staff was courteous and friendly. Friends were in town and all were impressed with Superstition Mtn. Worth the drive from north Scottsdale.

Great Golf

Great Golf in phantastic setting. This is a private CC with two courses. They open for public on an alternating basis. I played on Lost Gold course.
The Staff is extremely friendly and the course condition was one of the best I ever saw. Manicured tee boxes and fairways. Greens running 11 to 12.
Nice practice facility too.

Both courses offer something different

The courses are in great shape with quick greens and beautiful fairways. Lost Gold is more enjoyable for the average golfer. The staff are very friendly and make you feel like a member, even if you aren't.

great views, great range, great greens , great shape, tough bunkers.

A very enjoyable golf expereince. The clubhouse and staff are upscale. The facilities are comparable to the best private clubs. The views are spectacular. I saw deer and a bobcat in the last two rounds. The golf design is typical Nicklaus: open fairways, hard bunkers and greens.

I would highly recommend the course

As 2 players around 10 handicap we found this to be a very challenging track. it seems very important to pick the right set of tees. The green speed borders on treacherous for other than a very skilled player.

Love this course

Everything was perfect! From the drive up, valet parking & friendly impeccable service. Excellent practice facility. The golf course was pristine even with the "cart path only" restriction because of overseeding. The free water bottles and ice on the course is a nice touch. If I could find a complaint, it was that there are no garbage cans or extra divot mix.

I would play there everyday given the chance! LOVED IT!

The course was in great shape

My husband and I golfed this course on October 27, 2012. We have golfed many courses in the Phoenix area but this is definately one of our favorites now. It was in great shape, just coming out of overseeding and felt like we were walking on carpet all the way around the course. So lush and beautiful. WE will definately be back again and again

Great course to play but we had somebody teaching 3 others in front of us and had to wait on every tee box so never got to finish our round

One of the best courses i have ever played.

This course was enjoyed by all of us. All facets of the course are in great shape. Although there are many homes near the course, there were few areas where they were visible in key areas.

Well worth the drive

I really enjoyed this course. It was nearing a shutdown for overseeding, but it was still a very enjoyable afternoon. Some great views, challenging holes and tough greens. I will definitely be back to play this course, and the other course (36-hole facility) in the not too distant future.

Great course layout

Played the Lost Gold course 3 times and enjoyed it more each time I played it. The course was in great shape, even in the summer, when most courses are suffering. The Staff was very friendly and professional.

Best East Valley Course

As you drive into the community, you are aware of the class. When you arrive at the clubhouse you are bowled over by the beautiful architecture. I've played both courses at Superstition Mountain now and they both feel very similar to me. Neither is overly demanding from the tee but the course can play long if you choose the back tees. The approach shots are well laid out and definitely there are preferential targets within the green complexes rewarding the better iron shots. The conditioning has been immaculate both times. The staff and hospitality are the best I've ever encountered (on both occasions!). One really unique feature is that they provide ice cold bottled water at intervals around the tee boxes for FREE. Both of my rounds have been during the summer because the greens fees are within my price range at that time. Having said that, it was worth every penny and I wouldn't hesitate to play the course for more money than I paid. The experience is worth it, great value. Lastly, I recall looking at the trees and bushes and how they were pruned and thinking there wasn't even one limb out of place. One of my favorite courses and experiences in the valley of the sun.
