Papago Golf Course
publicPapago Golf Course is arguably Phoenix's most beloved and best-known municipal course, set adjacent to Papago Park with its iconic red sandstone buttes rising immediately to the east. The dramatic Papago Buttes — ancient Sonoran Desert formations in shades of red and orange — provide one of the most stunning urban golf backdrops in the United States. Located at 5595 East Karsten Way, the course winds through the park landscape with the buttes as a constant visual reference. Papago has been consistently ranked among Arizona's top public courses and represents extraordinary value as a city muni. The course demands shotmaking — strategic bunkering, varied terrain, and wind off the buttes make it more challenging than typical flat munis. Phoenix's Hole in Rock formation and Hunt's Tomb sit nearby, making Papago Park a legitimately iconic Arizona destination beyond golf. Papago is where serious Phoenix-area golfers go for honest, quality municipal golf.
Papago Golf Course opened in 1963 as one of the crown jewels of Phoenix's municipal park system, designed to take advantage of the dramatic Papago Buttes setting within the city's most beloved park. The course has been a Phoenix institution for over six decades, and numerous Arizona golf professionals trace their early development to rounds at Papago. A significant renovation in the 2010s refreshed the course while preserving its classic character and iconic butte views.
