This is one of the greatest secret golf treasures in the greater Phoenix area, and if you're going to the Phoenix area you'll want to check out the amazing accommodations of their resort. The "rooms" are actually more like private condos than regular hotel rooms, and the resort includes all the luxurious amenities you'd expect in an upscale luxury resort. Except the prices are way below what you'd pay in other local resorts with much less to offer! The golf course is a Gary Panks design, and Gary is one of the most accomplished course architects in Arizona. His work on this golf course was extraordinary, especially his artfully designed bunkers, and there are beautiful views of majestic South Mountain rising from virtually every hole. 

What can you say about the home of the FBR Open except that you need to play it! The FBR Open is the largest party on grass, with over a half million fans pouring into the event every year - and this golf course can actually accommodate even more! You'll love the design, and the conditions are kept Tour ready throughout the year, but there's something very special about playing the course a week or two before tournament time - and yes, you can play it right up until the week of the tournament! The grandstands are awesome, and when you stand at the tee box of the infamous # 16, you'll start to understand what pressure is all about - now imagine it with 20,000 screaming fans!! Don't miss your chance to play where the pros play.

Head up to Rancho Manana Resort located in historic Cave Creek at the very far north end of the Valley of the Sun and you're in for a very special treat. The golf courses is rated as the most scenic in the greater Phoenix area by Golf America, and the course is one of the most fun you'll play. The yardage is very misleading, so don't think this course is a pushover just because its a little shorter than most championship courses. Very few golfers hit their handicap on this tough track, but every single one raves about the fun design and how strikingly beautiful it is. You'll enjoy 100-mile views from the 6th green, and a 100-foot drop from the 7th tee to the small green tucked into a tight valley below, and a whole lot more! Bring your camera to this wonderful course!
