Desert Forest Golf Club is a private, member-owned recreational facility located in Carefree, Arizona, north of the Phoenix area. The club operates a desert-style golf course that was initially carved into the natural landscape in 1962 by Robert “Red” Lawrence, with minimal soil removal, and it remains notable for its Sonoran Desert vistas from most parts of the course. In 2013, the course underwent a major renovation led by golf course architect David Zinkand, updating tee-to-green elements to enhance beauty and challenge. The organization serves golf enthusiasts seeking a distinctive desert setting and a high-quality playing experience within a private club framework. In addition to its core golf operations, the club announced a new partnership with the American Junior Golf Association to host an AJGA tournament in 2027, signaling expanded competitive opportunities for junior players.
