The fenced front courtyard creates a private outdoor space before you even step inside, and the open back patio -- with a view fence to the fairway -- gives you a front-row seat to one of Arizona's most celebrated courses. Elephant Rocks is ranked among Arizona's Top 25 Public Golf Courses, and the course just reopened for the season. The 1932 clubhouse, built from local stone by railway workers, houses the Bar & Grill -- a natural gathering point after your round, complete with a natural rock fireplace and original timber roof beams. Set at nearly 7,000 feet among stands of Ponderosa pines, Elephant Rocks is the kind of escape from the Valley heat that keeps golfers coming back. Williams draws buyers from the Phoenix Metro looking for exactly what the desert can't offer: cool summers, pine-scented air, and direct access to the Grand Canyon Railway, Bearizona Wildlife Park, and the historic stops along Route 66 -- all within a town that sits 60 miles south of Grand Canyon National Park and 42 miles west of Flagstaff. At roughly 2.5 hours from Phoenix, this is the kind of place people visit for a weekend and leave searching for a home.
