Tonto Verde Golf Club in Rio Verde
This golf facility opened another eighteen hole course in 1999, the Ranch Course, which increased the total number of holes to thirty-six. The Ranch Course offers fairways that are more generous than the Peaks Course. However, they do narrow as they approach the green. The sand bunkers on this course are also much more difficult to get out of due to more pronounced lips around the edges. The Peaks Course features fairways that are fairly restrictive. The greens are flat, medium-sized and easy to putt. Man-made lakes come into play on three holes. The signature hole is #5, a 351-yard, par 4, featuring water hazards coming into play on both sides of the fairway and requiring an approach shot to a twin-tiered green guarded by water on one side. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 14th "Best in State" course for 1995-96.
