Parker, AZ

Emerald Canyon Golf Course is a public course in Parker, Arizona, carved through narrow canyons overlooking the Colorado River in the western part of the state. The routing climbs and descends through canyon terrain with blind tee shots and notable elevation change. The course was designed by Bill Phillips, opening its first nine holes in 1989 with the second nine following about two years later. Its canyon setting and tight landing areas distinguish it from typical desert-target layouts. Emerald Canyon is open to public play with a pro shop, driving range and putting greens on site, and it hosts an annual event called the Emerald Canyon Open. Tee times can be booked directly with the course.
