SHALIMAR CC

The desert target golf here demands precision over power, with elevated tees firing down into well-protected greens framed by native Sonoran vegetation and strategic bunkering. Mature palm trees and water features create memorable risk-reward moments throughout the Valley routing, particularly on the signature par-3s where desert washes come directly into play. This Tempe municipal gem proves daily-fee golf can deliver both challenge and character, especially during the golden months when Arizona golf reaches its peak.
