Paul originally nominated the Cholla course at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club as a gem and we added it to the Top 100 website in February 2008. Since then, we have extended our Best In State rankings for Arizona and the Cholla has made the ranking grade. Paul’s original comments are as follows:
“We-Ko-Pa (which means 4 peaks) is located in Fountain Hills just outside Scottsdale and is blessed with two award winning courses, Cholla & Saguaro (named after the iconic desert cacti that cover the landscape). The Cholla course is a Scott Miller design and opened for play in 2001 and the second course, Saguaro, designed by Ben Crenshaw & Bill Coore, opened for play in 2007.
Both courses are built on land owned and developed by Native American tribe Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation. We-Ko-Pa is all about the golfing experience with stunning views and vistas with no homes constructed anywhere near the site and some of the views from the elevated tees are jaw dropping. Also, the conditioning could not be better.”
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.
