San Tan Highlands
About
San Tan Highlands (formerly known as The Golf Club at Johnson Ranch) boasts a championship course with a front nine that winds through the Sonoran desert and a back nine that finishes at the base of the bordering San Tan Mountains. Naturally, the first half of the golf course is relatively flat and the latter half has a hilly terrain. In contrast to its categorization as a desert course, this course has grass from the tees to the greens but the cactus-filled landscape definitely implies desert. The greens are quite large and undulating and the fairways are fairly open with generous landing areas. Strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards come into play throughout the San Tan Highlands.

Great scenery Photo submitted by Shypoke55 on 04/13/2013
Always a great time
This course plays amazing. Can challenge both the high and lower handicap players.
Nice condidtions on the greens and fairways
The green were a little slow from my perspective. The starter was very friendly. The pro shop staff was ok but did not offer any information about first tee direction or where the starter was located. Cart girl was excellent, covered the course well, worked backwards to make sure everyone was served, We saw her 3 times which is excellent.
Pace of play
This is course is overpriced the pace of play needs work especially during peak playing hours. The bunkers is in need of better quality sand without pebbles and rocks. Chipping green needs more attention, however, putting greet, driving range and staff is friendly and accommodating.
Starter
The "starter" was unhelpful in cart deployment and treated young people in the group with sarcasm based solely on their appearance. The group was unsure why this was done and thought a review worthwhile due to the unusual customer experience..
Overpriced for what is offered
The course is slowly getting better (GPS in carts now) but still some improvements still needed (sand missing in most of the bunkers, not hitting on a downslope on the range not ideal).
Nice
Fairways and greens are great. Around green some areas are pathetic. Bunkers are pathetic no sand.
Great views
I was a single, so kind of expected the slow pace of play, never got the chance to get thru groups ahead of me but it was a gorgeous day for golf.
Always a fun course
Great condition and great staff as always. The pace of play and price ratings are the same everywhere this time of year.
Fun Round
Contrary to prior reviews, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even while hosting a wedding. Course was in reasonably good shape, and beautiful scenery. Much cheaper early afternoon if the heat stays away.
decent course, pace of play was slow
they need to have ten minutes between golfers going off and then a ranger out on the course managing the course of play. every time I play there it is slow..
