Pinewood Country Club

Munds Park is home of the Pinewood Country Club, which is an 18 hole championship golf course. It is the most prominent feature from interstate 17 northbound. The course itself does not open until about memorial day, although in years past has opened later due to heavy or late snows. It closes in October but has been open into November on some occasions. The clubhouse was constructed in the late 1950s and is home to two dining/event rooms, a restaurant, and a bar, plus it has a patio for outdoor seating. The club features a large driving range, chipping green, and putting green, and challenging holes for all skill levels. During summer, the teetimes are normally filled, and the course is open seven days a week, weather permitting. The country club has a lightning warning system, and a loud, high pitched siren warns golfers to get off the course when lightning is in close proximity.

Outdoor Activities

Munds Park is situated in the cool pines of northern Arizona, so summers are mild enough for Munds Park to become a motorsport haven. ATVs and Dirtbikes are common, along with dune buggys. Lake O'Dell, a seasonal Lake is popular for fishing when it is stocked. Several Hiking trails like Crystal Point Trail and Munds Canyon Overlook Trail start in Munds Park. A community park features a playground, basketball courts, tennis courts, and large fields capable of soccer, football, baseball, and other field sports. The Munds Park RV Resort is perfect for camping without the camping part, and the resort features a lounge with a pool. During winter, Snow Mobiling, Cross Country Skiing, and sledding is possible with perfect terrain for all of the above winter activities. Ice Skating on lake O Dell is not encouraged, although very rarely the ice is thick enough. The lake is not stocked during winter. The Pinewood country club is open during winter, but the golf course is not, although many kids use it as a snowplay area with hills and no trees.
