WICKENBURG RANCH GOLF & SOCIAL CLUB CLIMBS 8 SPOTS IN GOLFWEEK’S RANKING OF “BEST 100 RESIDENTIAL COURSES”
Wickenburg, Ariz. – In Golfweek’s newly published “Ultimate Guide” of “Best Courses” for 2019, Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club’s Big Wick Course jumped 8 spots in the ranking of “Best 100 Residential Courses in the U.S.” Big Wick vaulted from No. 94 in the 2018 edition, to No. 86 in the 2019 ranking.
“We are thrilled to see Big Wick climb in Golfweek’s ranking of top residential courses in the U.S.,” said Bill Brownlee, partner of M3 Companies, development partner in Wickenburg Ranch, and a co-designer along with Wendell Pickett of Big Wick. “As the course continues to mature, we’re witnessing it get better with age.”
The Golf & Social Club is the centerpiece of the Wickenburg Ranch community. The club’s 18-hole, par 71 course, known as Big Wick, opened in 2015. Since opening, Big Wick has received numerous accolades including being named No. 4 on Golf Digest’s list of “Top 10 Best New Courses in North America” in 2015; named a “Top 5 Best Courses to Play in Arizona” by Golfweek in 2017; the No. 1 Golf Course in Arizona and No. 9 overall in a ranking of the Top 50 Courses in the U.S. by Golf Advisor, the leading source of golf course ratings and reviews by golfers, for golfers.
