And while over 2-million visitors play golf in the Phoenix area every year, they account for only one-third of all the golf rounds. If you move to Arizona to play golf, you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a game!

With 125 area golf courses, the Scottsdale/Phoenix area has emerged as one of the country's top golf destinations.

As Jack Nicklaus points out, "From well-conditioned greens and fairways, to breathtaking scenery, to outstanding weather, Arizona golf is truly an enjoyable experience."
