VGA offers prearranged golf events on Wednesdays and Saturdays at courses in the Phoenix area. Membership in VGA open to Men & Women
Wednesday, November 14th, 2018, / Sundance
Sundance Golf Course-Signature Hole Hole # 6 is a par 3, 175-yard hole requiring a precision shot over the golf course’s only water feature. The lake offers enough mental challenge for most golfers that green side bunkers were not needed to add to the hole’s difficulty so none were added at the time of design. The green offers plenty of challenge already with the built-in undulations and severe slope that can easily guide your ball toward the lake that surrounds 65% of the green’s surface. http://www.sundancegolfaz.com/golf/

Etched into the desert on the pristine terrain in the heart of Phoenix, Stonecreek Golf Club’s magnificent par-71, 6,871-yard championship course was originally designed by Gary Grandstaff and Roy Dye, brother of the iconic Pete Dye and part of the Dye Designs dynasty. The course was subsequently re-designed by noted golf course architect Arthur Hills & Associates to modernize course infrastructure and bring it up to today’s standards while incorporating numerous environmentally-friendly maintenance and agronomy practices. The result is an adventurous, breathtaking links-style layout that has been rated four stars by Golf Digest. Mature trees frame emerald green Bermuda fairways and hilly, elevated greens, with creek beds meandering throughout the course and coming into play on five holes – adding to the course’s beauty as well as its strategic diversity. While challenging for scratch golfers, five sets of tees on each hole enable golfers of all ages and abilities to enjoy this picturesque desert golf gem, which features panoramic vistas of the Squaw Peak Mountains from every hole.
