Palm Valley Golf Course Review Phoenix AZ

The Arthur Hills-designed golf course is one of the most popular championship courses in the Valley of the Sun. Built in 1993, over the original cotton fields of the Goodyear Rubber Company, Palm Valley spreads out in an open, traditional fashion, with a desert landscape. The immaculate fairways vary between being hilly and flat, and both the fairways and impeccable greens are well bunkered. The best part about this links style layout is its playability. Palm tree lined fairways are generous, and tee shots require only minimal caries over natural terrain. Low handicappers will still be challenged by tournament tees that stretch over 7000 yards and wind usually comes into play.
