Pebble Beach Golf Links
The Pacific sets the scene. The little seventh steals the show.
Hillside desert golf above Fountain Hills, with views back over the Valley.

Eagle Mountain lies on the slopes above Fountain Hills, on the eastern edge of the McDowell Mountains, where the Valley gives way to open desert. Scott Miller designed it, and it opened in 1996 as a public course. It is not on the busy Scottsdale Road strip, which is a large part of its appeal. From many holes you can see Camelback and Red Mountain across the Valley. It is a par 71 of 6,800 yards with four sets of tees. That makes it one of the more manageable desert courses for mixed-ability groups.
Book online through the club’s own website, which promises a best-rate guarantee, call (480) 816-1234 or email golfpros@eaglemtn.com. Individual tee times open 90 days in advance. Rates for the public are dynamic, so the price depends on date, time and demand, and no fixed rate card is published. Every rate includes the green fee, cart and practice balls before the round. Tax and a Water Resource Fee are added at checkout. Eagle Mountain is a Troon-managed course in the Access Premium programme. Access Premium members can book up to 90 days ahead at 15 per cent off the posted online rate. Access Premium+ members get the same, plus their own lower rates when booking within 78 hours.
The club presents Eagle Mountain as a break from the target-style courses common across the Sonoran Desert. Miller’s design is strategic yet forgiving, and the scorecard bears that out. The Gold tees play 6,800 yards with a rating of 71.4 and a slope of 134. The Green tees at 6,269 yards (69.1/127) suit most visiting handicappers, and the White and Red tees drop to 5,900 and 5,065 yards. Par is 35 out and 36 in. The front nine has two par fives and three par threes; the back nine has two of each. Many holes look out across untouched desert rather than rooftops. In places, lakes and sculpted bunkers sit beside the fairways.
The practice area is generous for a single course. There is a full-length range, two large putting greens, a chipping area and a practice bunker, and range balls are included with every round. If you just want to hit balls, a bag of about 90 costs US$25. The Eagle Mountain Golf Academy is based here if you want a lesson. Because Fountain Hills sits apart from Scottsdale’s main resort corridor, plan meals and evenings around the town itself or Scottsdale, about 25 minutes west.
Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) is about 27 miles away; allow 40 minutes or so by car via the Loop 202 and Beeline Highway or through Scottsdale. From Scottsdale Airport it is about 13 miles. The course is at 14915 East Eagle Mountain Parkway, Fountain Hills.

The Inn at Eagle Mountain, a small inn in the Eagle Mountain community beside the course, is the closest option and tops the club’s list of hotel partners. The club also names WeKoPa Resort, on the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation a short drive east, and the Courtyard Scottsdale – Mayo Clinic. Hotel Valley Ho in Old Town Scottsdale and Adero Scottsdale also appear on the club’s list for those who prefer a livelier or more secluded base.
We-Ko-Pa’s Saguaro and Cholla courses are about 15 minutes east, and Talking Stick is a straightforward drive west for a contrast in style. In Fountain Hills, the town’s fountain in Fountain Park is the obvious stop. Further out, the Verde River and the road towards Saguaro Lake on the Bush Highway give a quieter desert day off golf.
Winter and spring are the main golf season in the eastern Valley. Fountain Hills sits higher than Phoenix, so mornings can be cool from December to February. Summer highs are fierce; demand falls, and the dynamic rates move with demand. The club does not publish overseed dates. Check the online tee sheet for gaps if you are travelling in October.
