Overview: Cochise is the original 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale. It plays to par 72 and 7,042 yards through the Sonoran Desert, with mountain contours, native vegetation, and strategic elevation changes shaping the experience. The course's visual drama comes from the landform, while its playing lines remain carefully framed and deliberate.
History: Cochise opened in 1988 as Desert Mountain's first course and established the golf identity of the community. Its opening marked Nicklaus's early work in the Scottsdale desert and set the pattern for the later collection of courses on the property.
Did You Know? The course is named for Cochise, the prominent Apache leader associated with the region. The name connects the routing to the Sonoran landscape and to the history of the ground on which the club was built.
