467 yard par-4 hole no. 15. This spectacular hole provides the golfer with a panorama of the valley below. The elevantion change from tee to green is 80 feet. The ideal tee shot must carry the left fairway bunker but will be rewarded as the fairway opens up for a long iron second shot to the two-tiered green. Watch out for the fairway traps on the right side.
About Anthem Country Club
While the view from the exquisite homes in the gated enclave of Anthem Country Club that overlook the mountain-ringed Valley ought to be amenity enough, a diverse array of retail outlets, medical offices and business parks has sprung up in recent years, furthering Anthem’s self-contained feel. And our builders have masterfully blended innovative designs with practical efficiencies to make the homes in the Country Club appealing on so many levels. The importance of community is evident at Anthem Country Club, where on one hand you’ll feel part of something bigger and at the same time be part of something personal and intimate.
The Anthem golf community boasts two championship 18-hole, Greg Nash-designed private courses with limited outside play. The greens are spacious with many protected and multi tiered, and every hole looks like a desert oasis providing great views of the unique Sonoran desert and beautiful mountainous horizon of Phoenix.
