The We-Ko-Pa Golf Course and Clubhouse

I took a drive out to one of my favorite locations just to the east of Fountain Hills and wanted to share one of the true gems of The Sonoran Life Style, We-Ko-Pa Golf Course and Club House.

Having grown up in Fountain Hills I’ve watched Fort McDowell develop much like Fountain Hills. Out of the Raw Desert was gently carved a thing of natural beauty. This golf course maintained the pure integrity of the desert while providing one of the most scenic and picturesque settings known to the Sonoran Lifestyle.

It’s a must see on your next visit to Fountain Hills, AZ.

This Course doesn’t have a single home crowding it’s fairways. Every Tee Box is like looking at a post card. Don’t let the view fool you, these are challenging courses fit for the best players.
