Many are familiar with the famous business mantra "Location, location, location" when describing the key element in generating new clients. The same could be said of golf courses, regarding "Elevation, elevation, elevation."

Lcation is an important factor for a course's revenue, but not just as a convenience factor for travel. Local terrain and environment are a course's major selling point; no one enjoys playing a flat course lacking variety with horrible scenery.

Instead, golfers want a course with dynamic design, great views, and major elevation changes. Golfers love a big drop from the tee box to fairway – watching the ball fly longer than normal adds excitement and good feelings to a round. A monster drive from an elevated tee can more than make up for a box of lost balls or three-putting a green!

Here's a list of great courses to play for elevation changes in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

Rancho Manana – One of the best examples in elevation changes, located in the Cave Creek area, matches well with their great surrounding views.

Eagle Mountain – Located in Fountain Hills, the elevation on property is the icing on the cake for this premium course..

Gold Canyon, Dinosaur Mountain course – A premium course tucked away from civilization, the front nine has you working yourself up the mountain, and coming down the back nine with some incredible views and elevation.
