| Nestled at the base of South Mountain, Vistal Golf Club offers eighteen holes of championship golf along with amazing views of downtown Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun. In 2000 the golf course was completely re-designed and built by PGA Tour Design Services in consultation with local PGA Tour players Tom Lehman, Billy Mayfair, and Howard
Twitty. The course opened to rave reviews in November, 2001. Four sets of tee boxes let golfers choose to play yardage from
5235 to 7013. |

This par-71 course features a variety of challenging holes that test your shot placement with over eighty well-placed bunkers. The course includes desert hazards, water features, and mountain-side elevations. Just as important as the course is the atmosphere, we believe having a good time is most important. Classic rock music is piped throughout the facility and the practice area to set the tone. The Blue Pig Patio is often full of guests enjoying an ice cold beer and a fresh grilled hamburger. At Vistal Golf Club, we hope you enjoy a day of golf with friends in a beautiful setting at a great value while having a really good time!
Here’s what others have had to say about the course:
"All in all, this is one great little par 3 tucked in a box canyon at the foot of South
Mountain," stated the editors of Arizona: The State of
Golf, March/April 2002, regarding
number 8.
"(Vistal) has big, sweeping fairways and awe-inspiring views of Camelback Mountain and Squaw (Piestiwa) Peak. The par-3 8th, a 144-yarder in a box canyon, is a beauty, and the 9th and 18th holes share a double green guarded by
water,” selected as number five on Van’s Top 10 New Public Courses in
Sports Illustrated.
“(Vistal) is powerful stuff, more than 7,000 yards from the tips, with gracefully rolling fairways, brilliant bunkering, and Xeriscape roughs, where every native plant, cactus, and rock was meticulously positioned by hand. There are
also a couple of crowd-pleasing waterscapes along the edges of two
ponds,” stated Ron Whitten in Golf World February 8, 2002.
