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.

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!

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.
