Aliante Golf Club

Aliante Golf Club, a par-72, 7,022-yard layout, is designed by renowned architect Gary Panks and managed by OB Sports Golf Management.

The 18-hole course is the centerpiece of the latest master-planned Del Webb community, Aliante (Italian for soaring) opened in December 2003, and Panks landscaped it for immediate impact.

The front nine meanders through hundreds of pear trees and shrubs that frame many holes, while the back nine traverses numerous plantings of Mondale pines and purple locust trees with their bright color splashes. A running theme for the mostly-level course is a groomed arroyo on virtually every hole. An arroyo often runs along or across the Bermuda fairways, and sometimes cuts in front of or behind the tee boxes or Tiffeagle greens, which are small to medium - in the 6,000-square-foot range - with moderate to fairly severe undulation.
