Gold Canyon Golf Resort offers travelers a unique resort experience. Whether you seek a corporate golf getaway, executive retreat or incentive program, or just a weekend away from home, our spacious Casitas will exceed your expectations.
Nestled along the mountainside, our unique 101 Casitas offer a variety of amenities such as in-room spas, fireplaces, and even private patios with splendid views of the golf course or the majestic mountains. A recent $16 million renovation has taken the resort experience to a new level of luxury with the addition of 43 Casitas. New fabrics and furnishings echo the dramatic colors of the high Sonoran desert setting.
Some Casitas are clustered in small groups that share a common courtyard area in order to promote a stronger teambuilding experience for groups. The scenic courtyards allow for private cocktail receptions and corporate celebrations as well as provide breakout areas for training sessions or meetings.

Whether you pause to let a family of quail cross the green before you putt, venture into a nearby town, or simply sit in a spa beneath the clear night sky, Gold Canyon Golf Resort lets you experience the high Sonoran Desert at its most spectacular. There’s something for everyone in this beautiful location offering many recreational choices, historical places to visit and excellent shopping.
