Members hope to continue building their 60-man roster by introducing new golfers to their group and the golf course. The Men’s Club is a member of the Arizona Golf Association, which supports and promotes golf statewide. The AGA is sending two staff members to Snowflake for the tournament and they will be writing a feature article on the town’s public golf course for statewide distribution.

The Snowflake Golf Course has made wonderful strides over the recent years as a result of the many improvements the town has made. Golfers from all around the White Mountains have commented very favorably on course conditions and as several other golf courses in the area have recently closed, golf play at Snowflake has grown.

In addition to being a fun 27-hole course, rates are very reasonable, and annual membership fees are among the best in the country. An individual annual membership is only $540 for unlimited year-round greens fees. Discounted cart fees are available and private carts can be used with an associated trail fee.

At an elevation of 5682 feet, Snowflake’s weather is typically milder than much of the White Mountains and in most years, there are very few golf days lost to weather. The West Course is an easy walking course to want to sneak in a quick 9-holes.

The golf course has also recently introduced Friday evening “night golf”, played with special LED golf balls and carts with headlights. The tee boxes, flagsticks and golf course fairways are marked with LED lights. The Friday night game has become very popular and is open to the public!
