"The Stone Canyon Club has been
blessed with one of the best natural desert sites I've ever encountered. The golf course
itself has been carefully carved into the landscape so as to preserve the grandeur and
beauty of the surrounding terrain. There's little doubt this course represents some of the
finest work of my career" Click below to take the full tour of our spectacular

With more than 35 years of
experience and 50 golf courses to his credit, Morrish is one of the most well respected

Fazio, father of noted Arizona architect Tom Fazio. In 1972, he joined Jack Nicklaus'
