PRESCOTT, Arizona – Capital Canyon Club in Prescott, Ariz. celebratede the grand opening of a new $1.3 million dollar practice facility on Thursday, April 30.
“The Homestead” – named after Club owners Jerre and Mary Joy Stead – was designed by golf course architect Phil Smith and features a 19,000 square-foot putting course and a 4,000 square-foot practice green for chipping and putting.
The 19,000 square-foot putting green can split into a 9-hole putting course and a normal practice putting green with green speeds maintained to simulate course conditions on the Club’s 18-hole Tom Weiskopf Signature Design.
The Homestead is located north of the clubhouse and took four months to complete. With numerous arroyos, canyons and rock formations to navigate, construction crews from Landscapes Unlimited took special care to blend the new practice facility in with its natural surroundings.
“We’re really excited to share the addition of our new short game practice area as it’s something we know will make a big difference for our golf members,” said Capital Canyon Club General Manager Christopher Morris. “As any golfer knows, the short game is where scores are made or saved. Having a dedicated space to work on chipping, pitching, bunker shots, and putting gives everyone a chance to sharpen those skills in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Whether you’re trying to knock a few strokes off your round or just enjoy some extra time on the course, this new area is designed with you in mind.”
The addition of The Homestead reflects the Stead’s commitment to investing in the Club to enhance the overall member experience. Additional enhancements are planned throughout the Club to continue to add value to the membership.
“We’re proud of how The Homestead turned out and hope it becomes a place where members can not only improve but also spend time with friends and enjoy everything that makes Capital Canyon special,” added Morris.
Capital Canyon Club originally opened in 1997 as Hassayampa Golf Club. In 2014, Jerre and Mary Joy Stead purchased the Club and rebranded it to Capital Canyon Club as a testament to Prescott’s rich history.
“Capital” as Prescott was the first territorial capital of Arizona, and “Canyon” in commemoration of the Grand Canyon State. Today Capital Canyon is Prescott’s premier golf and social club.
Capital Canyon Club is managed by Troon Privé, the private club division of Troon. Qualified Club members enjoy reciprocal play at private clubs around the world through the Troon Privé Privilege program,
