Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club - Lost Gold Course

About
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.

WOW
This is one of the finest facilities I have ever played Excellent Staff conditions and courses. It is a Must Play!!!
Absolute treat!
Playing the Prospector course was an absolute treat! Each hole was special and immaculatley conditioned. Wide fairways allowed for less-than-perfect shots off the tee. It was fun to visulize how the LPGA pros hit their shots on #18.

Fun course with amazing views of the Superstion Mountains
Playing golf at this course was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and made me feel like they were really happy to have me at their facility. I played the Lost Gold course and was blown away at how well the course was maintained. I will have to say that the setting for this course is one of my all time favorites. The close proximity of the Superstion Mountains certaily adds to the overall pleasant experience of playing this course. I give this course an A+ and I am looking forward to playing the prospector course as well. I will certainly be going back to play this course many times.
Very scenic course.
Must keep it in the fairway. Greens were hard to hold and even harder to putt. Very fast undulating greens.
Great facility, great course
Wow! Loved this course. My new favorite in the Valley. I've since played both Lost Gold and Prospector. I thought Prospector was the more forgiving and fun of the two, but both are excellent.
Prospector is particularly kind off of the tee. Lots of room, and for the most part the trouble off the tee is fairly easy to avoid. Approaches seem to be varied and a good mix of challenging and make-able. Just seems like a very well thought out layout.
Surfaces were all in excellent condition, however, I found the greens to be a tad firm and not particularly fast nor true (on both courses). In every group I've played on these courses we all experienced putts that didn't break as we saw them or broke in ways that we didn't predict. Not horribly, but noticeably.
This facility is the best I've played for playing in the heat. Numerous ice and iced bottled water stations throughout the course, and almost every tee and green has ample tree shade. The range is the most beautiful I've seen and has NXT Tour balls. No shower for non-members.
For me, Superstition Mountain Prospector is THE place to play in the Valley.
