Golfing in the Valley of the Sun
#
2121

Detailed itinerary, dates & price

Synopsis
Phoenix is a thriving metropolis surrounded by majestic mountains. Along with the visual beauty of the land, the city has a rich heritage of Native American and Hispanic cultures. Native American and western expansion influences are seen in the art and architecture of Phoenix, and an abundance of museums and art galleries showcase the culture.

Course Description
Golfing in the Valley of the Sun
It's no wonder the words golf and Arizona are nearly ubiquitous. With an average of 320 sunny days per year and over 200 golf courses, there is no shortage of opportunity. Enjoy four days of golf including 4.5 hours of small group instruction and 45 holes of golf. Lessons will be taught in a small group format by PGA certified professionals including the full swing, chipping and putting. From tee to green you will be challenged to improve all levels of your game. Play three different courses including the championship courses of Kokopelli and Dobson Ranch. When not golfing, discover Arizona's fascinating human and natural history. From Native Americans to flora and fauna, all have the common thread of unique adaptive means for survival.

Rental clubs available. Prior golf experience required.

Activity Level: 3 (see description)

Accommodations
Dobson Ranch, once one of Phoenix's greatest land and cattle empires, is now a lush 10 acre oasis, centrally located just minutes from the Phoenix airport. Heated pool, hot tubs, exercise room, meeting rooms and restaurant on site.
