Papago is an affordable, municipal golf course located east of downtown Phoenix at the base of the Papago Buttes in a scenic setting with a refreshing absence of homes stacked along the fairways.

The course is over the rolling contours of the desert terrain along fairways defined by a scattering of palms and native trees with a host of gentle doglegs. There's several water hazards in play with most of the sand traps in play defending the generous, raised greens. There's six tees from 5,404 yards to 7,333 yards off the back tees with the middle tees at 6,382 yards, 70.0/122, course/slope ratings, designed by Billy Bell with a William Fuller redesign.
