... we drove here extra, that was 2014.
Friends in California have talked about it, it should be the fastest that you can play as a dilettante (Italian - amateur).

This course was built by the foundation of the ping founder, Box Solheim. He belongs to the Arizona Sate University.

The pitches of Pete Dye are never easy, but these greens make him a monster.

Already when paying the green fee will show you what you can expect. It hangs a sign with the indication of the current Stipmeter over the counter.
This measuring method was invented in 1935 by the banker and golfer Edward Stimpson, since 1975 it is used by the PGA.

We are here in the desert, the play area is great, the rest gray and barren.

On hole 1 the big breakfast, in the Ladystees a wolf consumes its prey.

We too were hungry...
A great clubhouse with good food lets us quickly forget the score.

The course is located in the middle of the city - Tempe - is bounded by a commercial area. On the northern edge flows the Salt River. We also have the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport a few miles west, with its three runways 07/25. Aircraft noise must be accepted, for aviation fans an additional pleasure.

Even today we drive back with a proper baggage in terms of putts.
