Phoenix hosts more than 185 golf courses, from wide open fairways to narrow desert terrains, according to Phoenix Golf Source. The Arizona city, located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, provides the gateway to the Grand Canyon and offers its visitors a rich history, diverse desert environment and various opportunities for outdoor activities.
