Comments by Meridian Guests: “One of the finest courses ever made.” “This course will challenge all skill levels.”
“Every hole is so unique, so good, so beautiful, so spectacular, so challenging.” “I never heard of Gold Canyon and I am glad I took the advice of Meridian’s staff. The course was a better layout than Troon, GrayHawk or the TPC Stadium and it was more fun. We also saved a few bucks. We were blown away from the dramatic elevation changes and the picturesque scenery at every turn.”
“The most fun I ever had.” “Visiting from the east coast I have never seen such a spectacular Gold setting.” “If you bring your camera don’t forget to bring lots of film because you may use a roll on every hole.”

The Drive: Well worth the 40 minute drive.
