We-Ko-Pa Golf Club’s Cholla Course in Fountain Hills, designed by Scott Miller in 2001, is a public desert masterpiece set on Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation land. Spanning 7,225 yards with a slope of 138, the course features wide fairways, dramatic elevation changes, and minimal forced carries, offering stunning views of the Four Peaks and Red Mountains. Its lack of residential development enhances the natural beauty, making it a top-ranked public course in Arizona.

The Cholla Course plays with strategic variety, where generous landing areas off the tee contrast with challenging approach shots to well-guarded greens. The par-5s, like the 14th, offer risk-reward opportunities, while the desert terrain punishes errant shots. With excellent conditioning and a serene setting, We-Ko-Pa Cholla is a must-play for golfers seeking a pure desert golf experience.
