Golf Traditions in Arizona
Many golfers--especially those from cold-weather cities and states--dream of taking a vacation in Arizona where they can play their beloved game any time they want. Arizona has a number of outstanding courses that golfers can choose from when they travel to the desert. One of the traditions in Arizona is to play golf as often as possible, something that is quite doable as a result of the great climate.

The Silverleaf Club

The Silverleaf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a 7,267-yard golf course that requires a big drive off the tee. If you can hit it long and far, you will find a course that has beautiful, wide fairways and very fair greens. The course has great amenities and a well-appointed locker room. One of the top traditions of the Silverleaf Club is to take a hot stone massage at the spa after playing a match.
