8. Gold Canyon Golf Resort (Dinosaur Mountain)
Gold Canyon, Ariz.
Leave behind the trophy course hunters gathered in north Scottsdale and strike out an hour to the southeast past Mesa and you'll be rewarded with this scenic Ken Kavanaugh design that darts around the Superstition Mountains. Soaring elevation changes—highlighted by vertigo-inducing drop shots on the par-3s—make the Dinosaur Mountain track as memorable as anything in town.
