Saturday, February 4, 2017 Aguila
The Aquila Golf Course facility offers two golf courses; one is a Championship length course while the other is a par-3, nine-hole course. The championship course provides an excellent game of golf for an affordable price. There are scenic views of mountains and downtown Phoenix as well as a challenging layout featuring several water hazards and bunkers. Although the terrain is rather hilly, it is still relatively walkable. The course has an excellent range of holes that each have a unique character, the par 5’s are especially notable. Native grasses and wildflowers are also present on Aquila’s Championship course, further adding to its natural beauty.
After playing better and capturing an Atta-a-Boy last Wednesday at Club West, I put it all together, avoiding the usual blow out holes, and keeping it on the course for my best net ever 62 and a first place finish at Aguila. Aguila is definitely my new favorite course. Playing in my group too was Doug Patterson who took second place with another great score from him at 64 net. Great job D2. Coy Miller got third place with a 67 net. There was a tie for the Atta-a-Boy with Danny Campos and Neal Fisel scoring 68 nets. They didn’t ask for a scorecard playoff I guess. Rest of the field’s scores below. See you at Coldwater Wednesday. One note to share, my cart partner today Gordon Lukert, got a birdie pitch from probably 40 yards on hole #9. As everyone knows Gordon being the conservative type was not in the birdie pool. He seemed happy though.
Next up for VGA, Wednesday, February 8, 2017 Coldwater – 7:45am-$45.00.
Located in the West Valley of Phoenix, AZ, Coldwater Golf Club offers a championship golf experience combined with service levels and course conditions that surpass the expectations of golfers visiting the facility. The Forrest Richardson designed course features spectacular elevated tees, deep swales, and cascading fairways that create rolling terrain and dramatic, undulating golf holes that break the mold of most West Valley Phoenix golf courses. Each hole at Coldwater golf club offers it’s own character, beauty, and challanges that together create a golf experience that will challenge players of all skill levels and inspire golfers to play the course again and again.
