Forest Highlands was developed in the mid-1980’s in a setting two miles south of Flagstaff. Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designed the Canyon Course. It has been ranked among the top 100 courses in the world by Golf Magazine and was rated by Golf Digest as the #1 private course in Arizona. The name, Canyon Course is a correct description. The course was designed around a deep canyon that contains the 9th, 17th and 18th holes. Every hole is special and provides panoramic views of the San Francisco peaks, rippling brooks and lakes.  Forest Highlands has a second course that opened in 1999 and was designed by Tom Weiskopf. Unlike the Canyon course, the Meadows course is built on a more gentle terrain, and boasts many lakes. It is a perfect walking course.
