Desert Forest Golf Club

Desert Forest Golf Club is a private, 18-hole desert course in Carefree, Arizona, designed by Robert "Red" Lawrence and opened in 1962. The layout works through the natural terrain of the Sonoran foothills, preserving the character of the adjoining desert rather than imposing a manicured look over it. The club has hosted a range of significant events, including the Dunlop Masters, the Goldwater Cup, the USGA Senior Amateur Championship, the USGA U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship, the Trans-Mississippi Golf Association's Four Ball Championship, state Amateur Championships, and USGA qualifying events. Practice facilities include a double-sided driving range, a putting green, and a two-acre short game practice area with two greens and four sand bunkers.
