PHOENIX -- The pro shop employees at Stonecreek Golf Club answer the phone the same way:
"Thank you for calling Stonecreek Golf Club, Paradise Valley's best-kept secret."

It's not hyperbole. The 6,871-yard, par-71 layout, designed by Pete Dye and then redesigned by Arthur Hills, may be the best golf course in the Valley no one talks about.

"It's definitely unique to Arizona," General Manager Kevin Weber said.
Stonecreek Golf Club, located about 15 minutes to the south and west of the Scottsdale golf axis, is not a desert course. And it doesn't have dramatic elevations or picture-postcard par 3s.

What it does promise -- and deliver on -- is a terrific round that will test a golfer's accuracy.

"If you have any issues at all about your short game, they'll come up here," Weber said.


"Those last holes are a beast coming home," Weber said.
Stonecreek Golf Club's prices are reasonable for the considerable quality of the course.

 It's piggy bank money compared to some of the green fees charged by north Scottsdale layouts.

Here's the best recommendation I can give: Even with all the high-end courses in the Valley, I'd play Stonecreek Golf Club again in a minute.

Of course, if a lot of people take that advice, it won't be Paradise Valley's best-kept secret anymore.
