CONCIERGE SECRETS

AMW Faves List

Favorite Par 3 – #15 – playing downhill to a green with a welcoming opening, this hole offers the perfect opportunity for a bump-and-run approach.
Favorite Par 4 – #7 – one of the shorter holes on the course, offering the bold a chance to go for broke. Alternatively, a smart play off the tee with a hybrid or fairway metal sets up a comfortable short approach into the green.
Favorite Par 5 – #4 – a long par 5 that captures everything desert golf embodies—cactus, native terrain, and rugged beauty. A true three-shotter, demanding patience and precision.
Favorite Hole Design – #14 – an incredible risk-and-reward par 5 that climbs uphill, featuring two optional fairways to challenge your strategy and shot-making.
Easiest Hole – #10 – opening the back nine with a short, scorable hole. A well-placed drive over the right waste area sets up a short approach and a strong chance for birdie.
Hardest Hole – #18 – one of the longer par 4s on the course, this hole serves as a challenging finale. Smart play focuses on precision and your short game to secure par.
Favorite Extra Sighting – Saguaro Cactus
Favorite Apres Golf – play the Cholla course
Where to Stay – Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, Bespoke Inn, Civana Wellness Resort & Spa, Senna House
Where to Eat –  We-Ko-Pa Grille Café Monarch
