The second course opened in Tonto Verde in 1999, and provides a great contrast to the Peaks Course.

Again, the Developers called on Gary Panks, to design this course, more difficult from the tees compared to the Peaks Course, longer, but somewhat friendlier around the greens.
The Peaks Course, the first of two golf courses located in Tonto Verde, comprises 18 holes of spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, mainly the Mazatzal Mountains, which include the signature Four Peaks. Thus the name.
