Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club
US Open qualifier venue with dramatic dune-style design
About the Course
Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club, designed by Brian Curley and Lee Schmidt, brings a dramatic dune-style design to the Arizona golf scene. The course has earned recognition by hosting US Open local qualifiers, testament to its championship caliber and conditioning. Located on Ak-Chin Indian Community land about 45 minutes south of Scottsdale, Southern Dunes offers an experience unlike typical desert golf—dramatic elevation changes, fescue-style rough, and a links-inspired aesthetic that feels more like the Pacific Northwest than the Sonoran Desert. For golfers seeking something different, Southern Dunes delivers in spades.
