Combine Phoenix with next-door neighbor Scottsdale, plus the smaller communities in "The Valley of the Sun", and you have what may be the world's biggest concentrations of golf courses. The vast majority of the courses found in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area fall solidly into the "desert" course style - those are the courses where the fairways can be found inside the world's biggest bunkers, instead of vice versa. The hottest days of summer aren't very conducive to playing golf in Phoenix, but that's more than made up for by the great golfing weather found here the remainder of the year.
