Golf
A MUST and only a 9 minute drive from the Scottsdale home.
Set in the heart of Papago Park, surrounded by native desert landscape, the picturesque Papago Buttes and conveniently located less than two miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Papago is a golf gem located right in the heart of Phoenix where the borders of Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale meet. Papago’s rich history starts with its creator and architect of the famed Torrey Pines in San Diego, William Francis (Billy) Bell. His unique eye for crafting great golf holes that take full advantage of the beauty that surrounds them has resulted in awesome views of the renowned Papago Buttes, iconic Camelback Mountain and Downtown Phoenix.
“The all-new Papago” was recently chosen as the home of the men’s and women’s Arizona State University golf teams. The additions of the mid-century modern inspired Lou Grubb Clubhouse (including neighborhood hot spot, Lou’s Bar & Grill) and Evie’s Pavilion for group events in 2018 have further accentuated Papago’s revitalization.
