Golf in Gold Canyon

Gold Canyon is a community in eastern Pinal County at the foot of the Superstition Mountains, in the dramatic desert terrain east of Mesa where the flat East Valley transitions into the rugged mountain country. The community has grown as a retirement and resort destination attracted by the dramatic backdrop of the Superstition Mountains—the rocky, volcanic mountain mass that rises sharply from the desert floor east of the Valley. Gold Canyon and the adjacent areas have attracted resort, golf, and retirement residential development that capitalizes on the dramatic mountain setting above the Sonoran Desert flatlands. The Gold Canyon Golf Resort is one of the prominent golf facilities in this area, serving both the residential community and visitors from the Phoenix metro. Five courses serve the Gold Canyon community in the Superstition Mountain foothills terrain of eastern Pinal County.
