Golf Courses You Haven't Thought About

Not to be missed. A great championship length golf course that won't break the bank. Home to Arizona State's golf program. Great patio bar and restaurant to catch a sunset post round. My personal home course.

This short course is an absolute blast. Whether you are new to the game or a scratch golfer, you'll have a great time playing here. Spectacular views of Camelback during the round.

A group of local guys in the neighborhood recently renovated a city course and installed lights to create an awesome night golf experience. If you're here in the summer, you can't beat a round under the lights with your friends. Check it out!

Hiking Nearby

My #1 activity in the city. Just a 5 minute drive from the condo. Amazing 360 degree views of the city. The Echo Canyon trail is rated as a moderate to difficult hike. Don't attempt this without proper shoes and be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection. Those not interested in a full hike can still walk around the base of the trail and enjoy some great views of the mountain.

Another fantastic hike just a short drive from the condo, but more moderate than Camelback. No shortage of beautiful scenery. Still be sure to wear proper shoes and bring plenty of water and sun protection. You can also hike here at night for a truly unique experience and view of the city lights. Bring a headlamp or a well charged phone for a flashlight to be safe!

Yeah yeah yeah, I hear you. "I'm not going to a raw bar in the middle of the desert." One of my favorite happy hours in town. The "Your Money or Your Life" and the "Diego Rivera" cocktails are my personal favorites.

Awesome wine bar with great atmosphere. Couples will have a blast here. $5 pitchers and glasses of wine at happy hour. Monday and Tuesday after 8pm they run a "Board and Bottle" special where you can get a large board of Bruschetta and a bottle of wine for just $25.

Hands down the best view in the city. Thea, the Mediterranean rooftop restaurant, is a tough reservation, but you might be able to snag a hightop or bar seat for a cocktail without one.
