Open since December 2001, the Cholla Course at We-Ko-Pa is widely recognised as the quintessential desert golf course and was named by Sports Illustrated as one of the 10 best new public courses in the world shortly after its debut. Since then, Zagat Survey 2006-2007 gives Cholla its highest rating among all Arizona courses.

Located on land owned by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, We-Ko-Pa (Yavapai for “Four Peaks”) is routed through unspoiled Sonoran desert, free from residential or commercial buildings. In fact, there is not even an out-of-bounds stake to be found on this course where endless mountain vistas provide the backdrop.
