Golfers
from all over the world have discovered the paradise of Phoenix
and the Valley of the Sun. With
300-plus days of sunshine, lush greens surrounded by stark
desert and rugged mountains, golf is king.
Come and
play on courses designed by the likes of Nicklaus, Jones,
Hills and Weiskopf. Whether you are drawn to public,
private or luxury resort courses expect a challenge for all
skill levels. There are over
170 courses in the area with Phoenix boasting several
of the top
public courses in the nation.
Consider
taking advantage of the seven City
of Phoenix municipal golf courses. One of them, the Papago
Municipal Course, is the home of the Phoenix
Open Qualifying. Their website gives detailed information
on each course including pro-shops, restaurants, golf clinics
and lessons (and the green fees are very reasonable).
An added
benefit to choosing Phoenix as a vacation destination is the
number of prestigious tournaments that are played in the Valley
of the Sun every year.
