Seventeen holes in suburban Gilbert. Not a typo. Power Ranch runs one hole short of standard, a quirk that speeds up the round and shaves a few bucks off the green fee. The Sonoran desert layout plays firm and fast when they let it. Walking is permitted but rarely encouraged, and the 73 walkability score reflects a course that wasn't designed with foot traffic in mind. Cart paths wind where they want to, not where walkers need them. Still, if you show up early before the Arizona sun turns hostile, you can get around on foot without incident. Just know what you're signing up for.
