Resort18 holes
Phoenician Golf Club
Scottsdale, AZ
Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, Mike Strantz's inaugural solo design, opened in 1994 and quickly established itself as a premier American golf destination. Strantz, renowned for his artistic approach to golf course architecture, sculpted Caledonia's 18 holes with a painter's eye, creating large, imaginative greens often protected by ponds, streams, and imposing bunkers. The course is framed by majestic, centuries-old live oaks draped with Spanish moss, evoking a rustic, Lowcountry charm. Thousands of annual and semi-annual flowers bloom throughout the property, enhancing the natural beauty and contributing to what many describe as a "beautiful day in a floral nature park." The site itself boasts a rich history, once part of a vast rice plantation dating back to the late 1700s. The owners, inspired by a tradition of fellowship and a desire to preserve the land's natural splendor, aimed to create an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. Playing Caledonia is not merely a round of golf; it's an immersive Lowcountry experience, blending historical ambiance with a visually stunning and strategically engaging design.
