Ocotillo Golf Club (Sky/Valley)

Overview: Ocotillo Golf Club’s Sky/Valley routing is an 18-hole combination within Ted Robinson’s 27-hole Chandler design. The course is built around the idea of an Arizona oasis, using lakes, streams, cascading waterfalls and bright planting to create a visual setting unlike the dry desert corridors north of the city. It sits close to the airport and the main Phoenix resort markets, while its broad fairways and multiple nine-hole options make it practical for different types of golf trips. Because the facility rotates its combinations, the profile identifies Sky/Valley specifically and leaves combination figures open unless the current scorecard names them clearly.

History: Ocotillo opened in 1986 and has remained one of the southeast Valley’s best-known golf facilities. Robinson’s design has kept its original three-nine flexibility, allowing the operator to balance maintenance and daily play without losing the course’s central identity. Arcis Golf’s current history describes a long-running destination with recognition from Golf Digest and Golf World, while the City of Chandler highlights tournament use and the facility’s role in the region’s golf economy.

Did You Know? Ocotillo’s three nines create three possible 18-hole routes. Its waterfalls and planted water corridors are deliberate design features, not an accidental by-product of the desert landscape.
