between the city of Phoenix, ASU and the Arizona Golf Association — now features a state- of-the-art practice facility, event space, a new bar and grill, and extensive golf memorabilia. If you head almost due north a few miles, you’ll run into the completely rebuilt golf links at The Phoenician, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the golf landscape for decades. Over the past year or so, the 27- hole facility was trimmed back to 18 holes in the existing footprint, with a reduction of 45 acres of turf (again, water savings) and the installation of a new irrigation system, according to the course’s management company. But beyond that, The Phoenician will trick out the traditional golf experience with a new “Shark Experience,” including interactive course information and golf tips, high-definition touch-screen monitors and Bluetooth speakers with connectivity to online radio, live TV and sports and much more. So you’ll be able to rock out with your driver out, just like Old Tom Morris back in the day (or not). We still have the Waste Management Phoenix Open — which clearly was ahead of its time. And we still have some fabulous traditional golf courses. But with all of the options for both the casual and serious golfer out there now, there’s no question golf will continue to evolve while still having a major imprint on Arizona’s future.
