I will be going to Phoenix in a few weeks to see my best friend and to go on vacation with my family. There certainly is no shortage of things to do in the Valley of the Sun, and golf is plentiful there. I have played all of the big names there - TPC Scottsdale(home of the infamous 16th hole), Troon North, and GrayHawk (if you go - go to Phil's Grill-as in Mickelson-he's a member there. I also found a price tag in Tiger Woods' opened and unlocked locker for $300 for jeans).
Also, there are more In-and-Out Burgers there than I can count. Heaven!
After all of those big courses, my favorite to play is a fun little gem called Mountain Shadows Golf Club. This is an executive course, but it is groomed like an actual course, and has some very interesting holes.It is a par 56, 3,081-yard test of everything from a 5 iron to putter.The upkeep is amazing, and every time I have played there, it tests my short game like no other course. I like that most of the holes are from the 80 - 120 yard range, and there are sets of tees that can test your short game if you want. They have a full pro shop, a short driving range, and putting green, and everything else you might need. Try out this place, in the shadow of Camelback Mountain. It's a whole lot of fun. If you played it, let me know what you think of it!
