Verrado Golf Club - Founders Course
Buckeye, AZ
Carved into the dramatic foothills of Arizona's White Tank Mountains, the Founders Course at Verrado Golf Club offers an unforgettable desert golf experience, blending challenging play with breathtaking panoramic views. Designed by the esteemed duo of John Fought and PGA Tour veteran Tom Lehman in 2004, the course embodies a traditional design philosophy, demanding thoughtful shot placement and strategic decision-making throughout its undulating terrain. Massive rock outcroppings and a vibrant desert landscape define the visual character, creating a lush oasis against the rugged backdrop.

The par-3 3rd and par-5 7th also stand out for their strategic design and scenic beauty. With its impeccable conditioning and stunning vistas of the White Tank Mountains and the Phoenix skyline, Verrado Golf Club’s Founders Course is perfectly suited for destination golfers seeking a premier desert golf adventure and locals looking for a consistently engaging round.
