A perfect year-round lifestyle awaits you amidst the spectacular natural beauty of Payson, Arizona - within a 90-minute drive of metropolitan Phoenix and the resort area of Scottsdale. Chaparral Pines’ private championship golf course is an 18-hole, par-72 masterpiece designed by former U.S. Open and PGA Champion David Graham and noted Scottsdale-based architect Gary Panks. It was named one of Golf Digest’s “Top 10 New Private Golf Courses in the U.S.” when it opened in 1997 and consistently ranks among the magazine’s “Top 10 Private Golf Courses” in Arizona. Existing landmarks such as natural granite rock outcroppings have been left untouched. Close enough for convenience, yet far enough to be in a world of its own, Chaparral Pines has become a popular primary residence and family retreat in Payson, Ariz.
