Golf Arizona Magazine 2008

Buckeye, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, the Sun Cities, Wickenburg Westside Golf Copper Canyon Golf Club Boy, things are a-changing in Phoenix’s west valley. What used to be farm and ranch land has over night become the fastest growing community in our nation. Glendale has become a household name. It is the new home of the Arizona Cardinals; the host of college’s Fiesta Bowl and the 2007 National Championship. And this year, the Phoenix University Stadium hosted the 2008 Super Bowl. Let’s not forget Glendale’s Jobing.com Arena, home of the Phoenix Coyotes and host of numerous concerts. Glendale is also home to American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks. Sleepy farming communities such as Laveen, Litchfield Park, and Goodyear have turned into housing developments, fueling the greater Phoenix housing boom. Buckeye, named after the town’s founder Malin Johnson (home state of Ohio) has a current population of approximately 40,000 and is slated to become Arizona’s 5th largest city within 10 years. Being “golfers”, we’ve all heard about the numerous golf communities of Sun City, Sun City West, and Sun City Grand. America’s great historical envisionary, Horace Greeley once wrote, “go west young man, go west.” Phoenix’s golf developers have certainly heeded his words.
