Golf Arizona Magazine 2008

Scottsdale & Greater Phoenix The Boulders Resort The most difficult thing about playing golf in the Phoenix metro area is finding enough time to sample all of the delectable smorgasbord that golfers find laid out before them. There is no doubt that the Phoenix/Scottsdale area is one of the great global golfing destinations. There are worldclass courses and resorts everywhere tempting, beckoning players to come and enjoy a special experience. Of the more than 325 golf courses in Arizona, at least 120 can be found here. Want to play the FBR Open course? Just call the TPC Scottsdale and book a round. Want to see an eagle soaring in the wind over flowering saguaro cacti or a bobcat stalking its prey just yards from your ball? Come visit Scottsdale. One of the things that visitors might find especially nice is how well the courses are maintained. The fantastic resort and public daily-fee creations all strive for conditions that reach perfection - the perfect fairway lie, the smooth, fast putting surface, the immaculately-raked bunkers. These extraordinary courses appear like great art on canvas - a picture postcard golfers can play. So pick up the phone and pull out your plastic. The result will be heaven. RESORTS & LODGING The Golf Club at The Phoenician Resort has to be considered by many to be one of the most beautifully manicured and landscaped golf courses in Arizona. While the front nine plays to a traditional layout, the back nine meanders around Camelback Mountain in a desert-style setting. The Phoenician was chosen one of the Top 25 Golf Resorts in North America by Golf Illustrated. Located at the base of Camelback Mountain, The Phoenician rests compatibly against the southeast side of the mountain on 130 acres just nine miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Accommodations are spacious casitas with a private patio and desert view. Other SP1 amenities include tennis, trap and skeet, desert trail rides from a corral of the finest horses, a swimming pool, a supervised children’s program and the popular cookout.

The Wigwam Resort is one of Arizona’s oldest and most celebrated golf resorts and played a huge role in making Arizona the international golf destination that it is today. The Wigwam operates three 18-hole golf courses on the property - the Gold Course, the Red Course and the Blue Course. The Gold and Blue Courses were designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. Of these, the most famous is The Gold Course, which is widely considered the best resort golf course in the South-western United States.
