Etched into the desert on pristine terrain in the heart of Phoenix, Stonecreek Golf Club's magnificent par-71, 6,871-yard championship course was originally designed by Gary Grandstaff and Roy Dye, brother of the iconic Pete Dye and part of the Dye Designs dynasty. The course was subsequently re-designed by noted golf course architect Arthur Hills & Associates to modernize course infrastructure and bring it up to today's standards while incorporating numerous environmentally-friendly maintenance and agronomy practices. The result is an adventurous, breathtaking links-style layout that has been rated four stars by Golf Digest. Mature trees frame emerald green Bermuda fairways and hilly, elevated greens, with creek beds meandering throughout the course and coming into play on five holes - adding to the course's beauty as well as its strategic diversity. While challenging for scratch golfers, five sets of tees on each hole enable golfers of all ages and abilities to enjoy this picturesque desert golf gem, which features panoramic vistas of the Squaw Peak Mountains from every hole.

John Euler was banging today at Stonecreek, scoring a cool 66 net and sweeping the field by 3 strokes. Way to go John, knew you were going to get hot one of these days. Second place went to Danny Clark at 69 net. Good job Dan. In third there was Dave Dean at 70 net. Big tie for Atta-Boy however, tied at 71 net Dan Christianson, Tom Giljum, and Steve Richter. Rumor going around they would share the prize equally and the cup if we had a cup to stay at each others home for an equal time. What Sports, eh? Rest of the field scores below.
