Golf Club At Johnson Ranch, The

Golf Club At Johnson Ranch, The, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Queen Creek, Arizona.

The Golf Club at Johnson Ranch was designed by Kenny Watkins in 1997 as a challenging par 72 championship course set at the base of the San Tan Mountains. The front side is a classic desert golf experience while the back nine plays in and through the majestic, cactus filled mountainside.

The par-72 championship course is nothing short of an opportunity that is well worth the price of admission; and at 7,142 yards, it's nothing short, period. For all the course's 137 slope rating suggests, Johnson Ranch has a surprisingly softer side. Although it is categorized as a desert course, there is grass from tee to green. The greens are bent grass and the fairways are Bermuda with Rye overseed.

The front nine boasts lush, wide open fairways and generous landing areas, well suited for the player that likes to live dangerously off the tee. The back nine winds through the base of the San Tan Mountains with strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens. Those who know the course continually comment on the beautiful vistas offered on the back nine holes, which overlook the valley.
