Quintero Golf & Country Club
Quintero Golf and Country Club is the realisation of the dream of Lea and Gary McClung whose determined mission was to provide top golf to a friendly community.
With a little help from Rees Jones and co-designer Steve Weisser, the McClung dream has come true. Formerly called the Founder’s course (as there was a second Quintero course in the offing called Charter, which was billed to be a Greg Norman design but never broke ground), it's a spectacular layout set amidst the cacti of the Sonoran Desert. The layout is routed through valleys in the foothills of the central Arizonan Hieroglyphic Mountains. Not only do the mountains provide a dramatic backcloth but also thrilling elevation changes.
Perhaps the best hole, or at least one of the most unforgettable one-shot holes you’re likely to encounter, is the 9th, where you’ll need to carry a diamond shaped lake in order to find the green which is set stage-like atop a rock wall.
Once the exclusive preserve of a select number of members, the course was made available to the general public in 2011.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
