If you like golf Phoenix is the place for you! Recently I got back from a “guys” golf trip to Phoenix, Arizona. It was a blast! The food was great, the resort was great, and the golf was… golf!

With over 200 golf courses to choose from, the greater Phoenix area offers a wide variety of courses, whether you want to enjoy a laid-back round at a municipal facility or test your skills on a championship course, you’ll find a course that matches your style and budget.

Picking a time to go down on your golf trip is easy thanks to their 330-plus days of annual sunshine. There are really only two seasons to consider while planning your golf trip... the Summer Season (June, July, August) and the “Perfect Season,” which is the other nine months of the year.  There are benefits to consider before choosing which season is right for you.

In the Summer Season, you get a better price on golf and hotels, but it is very hot.  If you decide to go during the summer, just be sure to book your tee times as early in the morning as possible to avoid the heat of the day.

During the "Perfect Season" you can escape cold temperatures and enjoy the sunshine.  During this time the golf courses are in full bloom and it's comfortable to golf all day long.

Another reason why Phoenix is the place for your golf trip is the wide variety of places to stay, and things to do!

Here is a list of my top 5 things to do while visiting Phoenix:

1. Go to a Sporting Event – (All seasonal)  You can catch the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Suns, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Phoenix Coyotes.

2. Eat like a KING – No matter what kind of food you like there is a huge variety of restaurants to choose from.

3. Go shopping – There are plenty of malls and outlets to choose from, all with the best stores.

4. Visit a casino.

5. Kick back and relax by the swimming pool.

With breathtaking scenery, unmatched variety, wonderful weather, it is no wonder Phoenix has been dubbed the “Golf Capital of the World.”   With a variety of resorts to choose from and special rates starting as low as $45/night, you can't afford not to go!  Book your golf getaway now!
