The Radisson Fort McDowell Resort and Casino

The We-Ko-Pa Golf Club
Located on site at the Radisson Fort McDowell Resort, We-Ko-Pa (the Yavapai pronunciation for "Four Peaks Mountain") presents a unique alternative to the already upscale Scottsdale golf market. Designed by noted golf course architect Scott Miller, the golf course was created to play a challenging 7,225 yards from the back tees, but with multiple tee boxes that are well spaced to cater to players of all calibers. In addition, there are no - nor will there ever be - residences on the golf course, yielding some of the most dramatic and "natural" views of the surrounding mountain ranges including the Four Peaks, McDowell Mountains, Red Mountains and the Superstitions. Another distinguishing factor of the golf course is the ample amount of natural mesquite, palo verde, saguaros, shrubbery and desert vegetation that sprawl through the arroyos and canyons of We-Ko-Pa, creating a lush desert feel.

Inspired by the Yavapai culture, the We-Ko-Pa clubhouse features a "desert vernacular" styling with unique detail contributions that draw inspiration from the natural environment. Sloped entry walls and a wood beam canopy create a canyon-like feel entryway, followed by a water and fire feature that is designed to symbolize the importance of woven baskets within the Yavapai culture. The clubhouse is replete with stylized detailing and yields spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains, Red Mountain, Four Peaks and the Superstitions.

The above ground portion of the clubhouse offers 10,000 sq. ft. of enclosed space split into two separate areas, one on each side of the main patio. The north side of the building contains the golf shop retail and administrative areas along with restrooms and lounge areas. The south side contains the dining areas, kitchen, support offices, a bar and large multi-use room. Both ends of the building are complimented with large open patios.
