The Rim Golf Club

About the course

Understand the course before making an access claim.

The Rim Golf Course offers a golf experience like no other. Thanks to Payson's mild climate, avid golfers can relish year-round golf and enjoy true four-season playability. Towering ponderosa pines, spectacular views, and massive rock formations all complement the course, the ultimate championship collaboration of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. Situated at an elevation of 5000 feet, The Rim offers a challenging golf experience for all levels of golf play. This beautiful course can be played from 5,200 to 7,200 yards, with forested fairways woven through dramatic rock outcroppings and the largest stand of Ponderosa pines in the country. The natural elevations and native vegetation enhance the strategic challenge of the hazards, with water coming into play on six holes. Best of all, the course continually frames the breathtaking splendor of the Rim Country, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and forest on every hole. "Playability" is the hallmark of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish Golf Course designs and is the number one priority of The Rim golf course. According to Weiskopf-Morrish principles, a great course must be enjoyable for players of every level. Each hole must create a risk and challenge, and every hole should reward a well-planned and executed golf shot. True to their legacy, The Rim is their final and ultimate collaboration. Mr. Weiskopf states: "The twelve finest consecutive holes Jay and I ever designed are here at The Rim Club, starting with hole number 7."
