Correction for South Course: Panks design, opened in 1992.
Antelope Hills Golf Course was founded in 1956 with the opening of the North Course, a par 71 18-hole course located on Highway 89 north of downtown Prescott. The PGA-sanctioned course, which surrounds the City of Prescott’s municipal airport, is open to the public year-round. Designed by Lawrence Hughes, the course is a traditional layout, which features tree lined fairways, and fast bent grass greens. In 1992 the City of Prescott opened the par 72 South Course, designed by Gary Panks, which features open fairways, generous mounding, large undulating greens and panoramic views of Mingus Mountain, Granite Dells, Granite Mountain and a 100 mile view of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest point in Arizona. The South course includes multi-tees, bent grass greens and three lakes. Seventy-seven homes sites were developed surrounding the course and all sites have been sold. At 5,000 feet in elevation, Antelope Hills makes for a great escape from the summer valley heat. Temperatures can average 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the Phoenix area. For those who would like to fly in and play a round of golf, Antelope Hills is located next to Prescott Municipal Airport (Ernest A. Love Field). Antelope Hills features, in addition to two 18-hole golf courses, a driving range, putting greens, pro shop, restaurant, full service bar, cart service, and event facility. Antelope Hills hosts over 80 tournaments and events annually. Among the list of tournaments are the Arizona Golf Association’s Father& Son, Northern Arizona Amateur, Arizona State Boys Championship, Southwest Section PGA State Junior Championship, Smoki Amateur and the Outhouse open, additionally the facility is host to over 15 charity tournaments that raise much needed funds for the respective organizations.
