08 Go golfing

One of the greatest draws to Phoenix is the golf courses. There are almost 200 courses in the area, from local municipal ones to prestigious ones like TPC Scottsdale, which hosts the USPGA's Phoenix Open. You can play on greens lined with pine trees or on ones that seemingly take you away from everything as you head out into the desert. Most courses are only open during daylight hours, but some are lit so you can play at night.
