Los Caballeros Golf Club in Arizona offers summer golf rates

WICKENBURG, Ariz. -- Summer is the perfect time to take advantage one of Arizona's best-kept golf secrets at the historic Rancho de los Caballeros guest ranch in Wickenburg.

Golf Magazine's Silver Medal award-winner, Los Caballeros Golf Club, provides a perfect one-day getaway for Valley golfers with reduced summer golf rates starting at $30.
Located an hour's drive northwest of Phoenix, the Greg Nash-designed golf course offers breathtaking desert and stunning views of Vulture Peak and the Bradshaw Mountains.

Los Caballeros Golf Club offers summer golf rates of $30 per person with four or more golfers and $35 per person with less than four golfers, now through Oct. 6. In addition, a summer golf card is available for $120 and entitles a golfer to five eighteen-hole rounds. All rates include the use of a cart.

Two sparkling lakes are carved out among the serene 6,962-yard course that offers four different tees for a variety of playing levels. The front nine is a classic desert layout with wide landing areas and ample greens, providing all the challenges of desert-style target golf. Golfers can test their mettle on the hilly back nine, which requires every club in the golfer’s bag.

Los Caballeros’ signature hole is the 13th featuring numerous elevation changes and a well-protected undulating green. It is consistently rated as one of the most challenging par five holes in the state.

Scenic driving ranges, well groomed putting greens and a short game practice area all add to the total golfing experience at Los Caballeros. The course remains open year-round, while the guest ranch closes for the summer and reopens in early October.
Located just 55 miles northwest of the metro Phoenix area at the foot of the Bradshaw Mountains, the semi-private par 72 course was featured on The Golf Channel’s “Golf with Style.” In addition, the course was ranked multiple times among the best in Arizona and is a recipient of the Silver Medalist award from Golf Magazine, an award that honors the top 75 resort courses in the United States.

The Los Caballeros Golf Club is also available for special group events or tournaments. For more information, contact the Head Golf Professional Carlton Blewett at 928-684-2704 or access the website at www.loscaballerosgolf.com.
