Sterling Grove Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 semi-private golf course in Surprise, Arizona. It was designed by Nicklaus Design, with Chris Cochran leading the project, and opened for preview play in February 2021 as the first new golf course to open to public play in Arizona since 2016. Set against the White Tank Mountains, the course in Surprise departs from typical desert-style design, routing through grove-lined fairways with wide landing areas and undulating greens. More than 1,700 trees were planted to line the fairways and define the routing as the course has matured.
