The Aliante Golf Club
is an 18-hole championship daily fee golf course designed by the award
winning golf course architectural firm of Gary Panks Associates, in Scottsdale
Arizona and managed by OB Sports Golf Management.
Established in 1978, Gary Panks Associates has a long-standing reputation
for working closely with developers in designing golf courses that enhance
the environment, create value, and provide an enjoyable experience for
golfers.
For Aliante, Panks designed a 6,900-yard, par-72 course. He emphasized
that careful consideration was given to both the enjoyment of golfers
and the safety and convenience of home owners.
"Since this will be a public golf course, we are maximizing turf
to approximately 125 acres, which will offer wide landing areas for golfers
and a good degree of safety for homeowners," Panks said, adding that
the physical characteristics of the terrain enabled his design team to
create a series of very interesting and challenging holes. In other areas,
the landscape pallet provides for ample shade trees and massing of shrubs
and ground covers, while smaller flowering trees add abundant color and
texture.
