Set in the desert north of Phoenix and Scottsdale Quintero s Founders Course designed by Rees Jones offers wide fairways and substantial elevation changes With as many as nine different tee boxes on some holes it is very playable for every level of golfer The eighth hole a 586 yard par 5 plays uphill and is the toughest hole on the course With three large bunkers running along the right side of the lay up area even playing it safe has its risks The 212 yard par 3 9th hole goes back down the hill and requires players to hit over a small pond to reach the green The 374 yard par 4 15th hole is one of Rees Jones favorites Players can challenge this dogleg left to create a shorter second shot to the elevated green but that brings two large fairway bunkers into play The safer route is to the right but creates a longer approach to the severely undulating green The finishing hole a 434 yard par 4 has a small pond and waterfall behind the green
