Grayhawk Golf Club – Talon Course
- United States
Course Architect:
Par: 72
Course Length: 6973 metres
Desert-style course skirting box canyons with dramatic risk-reward holes. Designed by PGA champion David Graham and architect Gary Panks, the Talon course features narrow-looking fairways bordered by Sonoran desert and deep box canyons. Large multi-tiered greens and distinctive holes like the par-3 "Swinging Bridge" (#11) and short par-4 "Heaven or Hell" (#13) create memorable tests.

-
Opening hole appears narrow but has a generous fairway. A single bunker guards the green, offering a chance to attack the pin.
-
Dogleg-left par 5; bold players can cut the corner over desert. The namesake "Three Sisters" bunkers on the right and railroad-tie faces demand caution.
-
Straight hole framed by desert; a bunker and tree guard the right side. The large green is protected by a front bunker.
-
Short par 3 over a massive bunker that runs the length of the hole; a pot bunker lurks behind the large green.
-
Long par 4 calling for driver; a ridge on the left side and elevation change create uneven lies. Large green invites long approach.
-
Shorter par 4; tee shot must avoid desert and trees narrowing the right side. Approach is to a green with a large bunker left and mounds right.
-
Par 3 over a desert wash to a deceptively large green with multiple undulations and run-offs.
-
Long par 5; a straight drive must avoid a left bunker and central tree. Large bunker right guards the raised green.
-
Par 4 requiring accuracy off the tee; canyon and bunkers left of the green mean the miss is to the right.
-
Signature par 3 played over a box canyon to a two-level green. Players access the back tees via a suspension bridge.
-
Appears narrower than it is; right-side desert wash and cacti create a blind approach if drives flare right.
-
Drivable par 4 with risk-reward options. Aggressive tee shot over desert can reach the green but an offline drive invites disaster; conservative play leaves a short iron to a large green.
-
Straight par 5 where players can "let the big dog eat." Cross-bunkers complicate lay-ups and the green is slightly elevated.
-
Fairway resembles a stretched bowl; shots funnel to the middle. A single tree can block the approach and a canyon looms right.
-
Straight tee shot up the middle sets up the approach. The two-tiered green is flanked by bunkers and grass swales; front pins allow use of a ridge as backstop.
-
Island-green par 3; correct yardage is crucial. The green has two levels and water surrounds it.
-
Sweeping par 5 finishing hole. Doglegs right with bunkers guarding the corner. Water juts into the fairway near the green; the boomerang-shaped green offers diverse pin positions.
