Gold Canyon Golf Resort’s Sidewinder Course in Gold Canyon, designed by Ken Kavanaugh in 1997, is a resort 18-hole layout offering a more forgiving contrast to its Dinosaur Mountain counterpart. At 6,072 yards with a slope of 125, it features wider fairways, strategic bunkering, and scenic Superstition Mountain views.
Sidewinder plays with accessibility, with open fairways encouraging bold drives but subtle greens requiring careful approaches. The par-3s and par-5s provide variety, with minimal desert hazards enhancing playability. With resort access and excellent conditioning, Sidewinder is ideal for golfers seeking a scenic, less demanding desert round.
