H
idden in the tall Ponderosa Pines of Northern Arizona
lays Elephant Rocks Golf Course. Players have enjoyed golf at Elephant
Rocks since the early 1920s. The original stone clubhouse has remained
nearly unchanged for the past 75 years and now houses a fully stocked
pro-shop and bar to provide you with all your golfing desires. This
great course received its name by way of the elephant shaped rocks near
its entrance. From the moment you arrive at the course, you know you are
somewhere special.
In 1990, the original nine holes were redesigned by Gary Panks and were given bent grass greens. Nine years later, Panks again added his touch with an additional nine holes turning the course into a true 18-hole, 6695-yard championship course, establishing it as one of the premier 18 hole golf courses in Northern Arizona. Previous (1990-2008) Head PGA professional, John McCahan, describes the new addition as “a good fit with the original nine. The combination of the old and new makes a great challenge for golfers of all ability”.
The
stunning course meanders its way through the tall Ponderosa Pines with
ample bent grass greens, protected by deep bunkers and native grasses.
The final three holes are a challenging finish with #16, an uphill
dogleg left; followed by #17, a sloping Par 5 which appears to be a mile
long off the tee; culminating at #18, a 212-yard par 3 which drops
approximately 100 feet, making club selection a real challenge.
Along with the beautiful layout, Elephant Rocks offers top notch practice facilities with full scale and scenic driving, putting, and chipping facilities.
The addition of our banquet pavilion in 2005 offers a great venue for you to hold all of your upcoming meetings and parties. It is available to rent year-around through the golf shop and offers a great environment for any group gathering.
