Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw survey the land for their latest design, the Saguaro Course at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club.  Saguaro, which opened December 16, 2006, is a desert golf experience unlike any other.  Integrating design elements not commonly found in the desert, the course is built for walking and has more in common with older, more traditional courses where greens are close to tees and the course follows the natural movement of the land.  To assist those choosing to walk the Saguaro course manual Speed Carts are available for use. 

Coore and Crenshaw are the design team behind such highly touted courses as Bandon Trails in Bandon, Oregon, Sand Hills in Mullen, Nebraska, Friar's Head in Baiting Hollow, New York and the Golf Club at Cuscowilla in Eatonton, Georgia.

"This piece of land has some very interesting natural movement to it," said Crenshaw of the new We-Ko-Pa course. "I think this golf course will be pretty unique for the desert. People will be induced to play different shots and find solutions to new challenges when playing this course."

Saguaro has already been featured in numerous golf publications including Golfweek, which currently ranks it as the #1 public access course in Arizona.  In addition, GOLF magazine named it one of the "Top 10 Best New Courses You Can Play" in the United States 2007.
