TRILOGY GOLF CLUB AT VISTANCIA (623) 328-5100
Arizona Golf Course Review 2/21/05
The Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia had been open for 1 year on the date of our visit - and we were impressed by all aspects of the property. Award-winning course architect Gary Panks designed the
Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia to complement the surrounding washes and blend with the natural settings
. The distinctive landscaping of the course is remarkable, while a scenic view of the Twin Buttes provides a stunning backdrop Desert washes, streams, lakes and ponds along with significant sand
bunkering (72 in total) add aesthetics and challenge for all golfers, while mountain backdrops often frame the rolling green complexes.
The beautiful 11,000 square foot clubhouse was designed by architect Bing Hu, and features a full service pro shop, plus restaurant/lounge that is open for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. Banquet
facilities can accommodate 200 people. A gorgeous outdoor terrace is spacious in size and includes a fireplace centering an area with comfortable seating.
Complete practice facilities are on property, and include a complimentary grass range, putting green and short game area with practice bunker. Members in this 7,100 acre upscale community can also
enjoy 3 swimming pools, 4 tennis courts, a full workout facility and other notable amenities. Simply put, this place is beautiful!
Five sets of tee areas provide golfers with choices of playing to distances/slopes measuring 7259 yards/134 slope, 6868 yards/129 slope, 6508 yards/125 slope, 6132 yards/120 slope and 5573 yards
from the forward tees. On course measurement markers are provided on all sprinkler heads and on 100,
150 and 200 yard blocks in the fairways, and hole locations are indicated on daily pin placement sheets. The sculpted tee boxes also have measurements to the center of the green.
As the slope ratings indicate, this course is playable for all levels of skills. Wide landing areas should
afford most players an opportunity to land on the well manicured fairways. The terrain is gently rolling, with reasonable carries over desert washes on a few holes. Most green complexes feature mild
undulations and subtle mounding, with ample space for bail outs - particularly on the par threes. TifEagle
putting surfaces roll quick and true...land on the greens in regulation and low scores can be had.
Overall this is a very fair course that will challenge scratch golfers from the tips, and will provide a resort
-style experience for mid to high handicappers that elect to play from the Verde or forward tees. With rates topping out at $99.00, this is a value round and is HIGHLY recommended! It is one of the most
beautiful golf facilities in the area! For more info, visit our page for the Trilogy at Vistancia - which is an Intrawest Golf property - by clicking here.
