Copper Canyon delivers consistently well-maintained fairways, fast greens, and a challenging yet approachable layout that blends desert and city course styles. Friendly Troon staff and smooth pace of play make this one of the Valley's best values.

The course at Copper Canyon Golf Club is deceptively exclusive in that although the club has prestige and a luxurious atmosphere, there are some reasonably priced tee times. The layout features an interesting mix of holes that offer panoramic views of the White Tank Mountains to the south. The large, undulating greens that are framed by generous fairways are the trademark of the course. Water hazards come into play on a few holes and there are also sand bunkers situated throughout. This golf course offers four sets of teeboxes. Copper Canyon Golf Club has extensive practice facilities for golfers to use as well, including a full length driving range with several target greens, a large practice putting green, and a short game area with a bunker.

Well worth the drive

Love this layout. Play it often in summer with lower rates. Only bad aspect today were the bunkers which were less sand and more like kitty litter. Course is challenging but forgiving.

Great course

I've always liked this course. A long drive for most people but it is well worth it. Couldn't ask for better conditions during these months, but I'm never disappointed golfing here. There may be one hole I don't like but that's due to my lack of ability to hit a fade. The staff and regulars are always very friendly.

Beautiful Course, great condition

Copper Canyon is a great place to tee it up. Tremendous condition including bunkers. Greens were outstanding. Very friendly staff.

Construction around the clubhouse underway in some areas but still not much of a distraction. Building new homes around the course as well.

Nice course, wonderful staff.

Very friendly and helpful staff here. Everyone I spoke to was helpful and pleasant. I swear they treated me like I was a member even though this was the first time I have ever played here.

The course was in good shape for summer time in AZ. It is reasonably open with houses lining some of the fairways. There are rocks and gravel separating the homes from the fairways that you do not want to go into.

I don't know why but a lot of the holes did not suit my eye. I think it was because there are sand traps on the left and right on most holes about where you'd hit your tee shot. I generally like to eliminate one side or the other. I could not do that as easily here as some other courses. You really need to stripe your tee shot. I struggled a bit on the front 9 before I finally figured out it is easier to just hit up to or around the 150 stake and take your second shot from there.

The greens were like putting on carpet. Very smooth. They were a touch slower than I am used to probably because they were softer and smoother than other courses. The breaks were a lot more subtle and did not break as far as I thought they would. A lot of the greens were raised and generally had a bunker or three guarding them. There is water on the course, but it really only comes into play on a couple of holes.

Eureka, the best and smoothest greens in the Valley.

We were impressed with this decade old golf course way out in the boondocks of NW Buckeye, Arizona.

This is a Troon managed course and it shows it.

The real Pro in the pro shop was Jim who's been here for eight years.

He was very helpful in a low-key way.

Tom the starter was excellent and knowledgeable.

Lisa in the Snack Shop was great.

This course is in excellent condition with tee boxes, fairways, and greens in pristine condition.

This layout was designed for senior golfers in a retirement community. The wide fairways and large greens hide some very deceptive undulating and curving greens that are far more challenging than most of the top rated courses in the Phoenix area.

All the plants and vegetation are in great condition. The entire course is maintained

perfectly and it's very attractive. The use of crushed red gravel as for mulching accents

all over the course is impressive.

This course has to be the dark horse for best course in the Valley that we played this trip.

Very nice!!!!

Loved the layout... fantastic fairways... greens receptive on good shots and rolled nicely.

One " request" would be to replace the flags with true " red/white/blue".

The white " checkered"flags with very small amount of the colors were VERY hard to see.

Unless we were really close to the green no one in my group could determine if they were front/ middle/ back pins.

Just a nice solid flag would be nice.

Anyways... great course!!

Long way out of Phoenix but worth it.

Course is located in a residential community so holes lined with homes. Course conditions were good, undulating greens that rolled nicely. Just a few holes with character so the greens are the challenge. Bunkers good, pebble sand/stone, so club slides through nicely.

Round would have been more enjoyable if winds weren't 30mph but I enjoyed the experience and a good value.

A good $55 course

The course is fine, well maintained, slow greens, but you are out in the middle of nowhere. For $55 this would have been a good deal, for $85 plus taxes not so much. Limited bathroom facilities, have to pay for a water if you don't bring your own container.

Great Course in Excellent Condition

This course was in great condition. Fairways looked like carpet and greens fantastic shape. Played with two locals and had a great day. Course is somewhat resortish but still interesting enough and requires different shots. I'd definitely play this course again.
