PHOENIX - SCOTTSDALE : VALLEY OF THE SUN

With over 330 days of sunshine a year, Scottsdale is one of the best places for golfing in the United States and in the World. Indeed, you can find there over 200 spots dedicated to Golf.

Scottsdale welcomes the FBR Open Tournament and the PING LGPA: this is also why quite a number of professional players have settled in this area.

Phoenix, the Capital of Arizona, has according to the 2006 estimate over 1.5 million inhabitants and consequently ranks 5th in the United States. Located in the heart of the Sonoran desert in the Salt River Valley, the town is surrounded by the Mc Dowell Mounts, South Mountain Park, White Tank Mountain and also Superstition Mountain.

Phoenix and Scottsdale offer a striking contrast with the blue sky, the green grass (of the Golf Courses) and the ochre-colored mountains of the Sonoran Desert: A heavenly paradise-like, almost lunar landscape amid a real world.
