We-Ko-Pa Golf Club

Cholla course was awesome. Nothing like it back home. If I could play this course every month I absolutely would! Grest conditions this time of year. Facilities were nice and good carts. Sucks my cart speakers were broken.

We recently had the opportunity to play the Saguaro Course at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made the entire check-in process seamless. The clubhouse and pro shop are top-tier, offering an impressive selection of apparel, gear, and unique We-Ko-Pa merchandise. It’s easily one of the best golf shops we’ve visited. We warmed up at the practice facility prior to our round, which is outstanding. The range, multiple putting greens, and short-game areas are thoughtfully laid out and extremely well maintained. We also opted to use rental clubs, which were premium Callaway sets and performed exceptionally well — honestly as good as any rental experience we’ve had. The Saguaro Course itself is phenomenal. Designed by Coore & Crenshaw, it plays like a traditional, walkable course that flows naturally through the Sonoran Desert. The fairways are generous, but the approach shots and greens require precision, making the course both enjoyable and challenging. One of the best aspects is the complete absence of homes or roads — just pure desert, mountain views, and golf. Course conditions were excellent throughout the round, and the on-course amenities were equally impressive. The carts were well stocked, GPS-equipped, and the halfway house offered a great selection of food and drinks right when we needed it. The back nine, especially near sunset, delivered some of the most scenic golf we’ve ever experienced. We wrapped up the day back in the pro shop for a souvenir before heading out. Whether you’re visiting Arizona during peak season or planning a golf getaway at any time of year, We-Ko-Pa is an absolute must-play. We can’t recommend it highly enough and are grateful for such a memorable experience.

Wekopa Golf Club stands out as one of the premier public facilities and courses in the Southwest. Both courses offer distinct experiences. Cholla, with its tighter layout and focus on target golf, provides a more intimate and challenging experience. In contrast, Saguaro is significantly larger, offering a more expansive and varied landscape. Regardless of the season, both courses maintain exceptional condition, excluding routine maintenance. The staff is consistently friendly and professional, and the on-site restaurant is great for a bite to eat before or after your round. Having played multiple rounds at Wekopa Golf Club, I have consistently enjoyed each visit. If you are planning a golf trip to Arizona, I highly recommend Wekopa Golf Club.

Played WeKoPa recently and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We played both the Cholla and Saguaro courses, and each one was outstanding in its own way. Conditions were top-notch across the board. Fairways were clean and well kept, greens rolled true, and the desert layouts make every hole feel unique without being gimmicky. The scenery alone is worth the round, especially with the mountain backdrop and wide-open views. Staff was friendly and organized from check-in through the turn, and pace of play stayed right where it should be. Practice facilities were solid too, which made warming up easy before tee time. You can tell they take pride in keeping the place in top shape. If you’re looking for a course that’s challenging but fair, visually stunning, and run professionally, this is one of the best public golf experiences you’ll find. I’d play both courses again without hesitation.

I thought it was a nice layout. Played the composite tees. Plenty of hills and some blind shots for me. Fairways rolled nicely and my bunker shots all went out as expected the sand was in good shape. I practiced putts down at the range, the green there was way faster than anything I saw out on the course. All in all this is an excellent course (cholla). 4 stars because I think they charge a little too much.
