We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is a daily fee golf facility that consists of the original 18 holes, the Cholla Course, designed by Scott Miller and a second 18 holes, the Saguaro Course, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, which opened Saturday, December 16, 2006.  In addition to the two 18-hole courses, there is a large practice facility and a full service clubhouse.  We-Ko-Pa Golf Club has been developed and is owned by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and is operated by EF Golf and OB Sports Golf Management.

 

Located just east of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills, the course is located on land that will never be used for residential or commercial development, yielding dramatic views of the Sonoran desert and the surrounding mountains. 

 

The We-Ko-Pa Clubhouse

 

Inspired by the Yavapai culture, the We-Ko-Pa Clubhouse features a “desert vernacular” styling with unique detail contributions that draw inspiration from the natural environment. Sloped entry walls and a wood beam canopy create a canyon-like feel entryway, followed by a water and fire feature that is designed to symbolize the importance of woven baskets within the Yavapai culture. The clubhouse is replete with stylized detailing and yields spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains, Red Mountain, Four Peaks and the Superstitions.

The above ground portion of the clubhouse offers 10,000 sq. ft. of enclosed space split into two separate areas, one on each side of the main patio. The north side of the building contains the golf shop retail and administrative areas along with restrooms and lounge areas. The south side contains the dining areas, kitchen, support offices, a bar and large multi-use room. Both ends of the building are complimented with large open patios.

The lower level of the clubhouse includes an 11,000 sq. ft. underground cart storage area.
