With more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Arizona’s 370 golf courses offer golfers a wide range of challenges. From award-winning courses and resorts and diverse scenery, Arizona is also host to some of the biggest golf tours and events in the country.
The Boulders Club at Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale features 18-hole North and South courses that have a reputation as challenging. Named one of the Best Golf Course Resorts in the Southwest by Golf Digest’s 2022 Editor’s Choice Award, Boulder’s Resort & Spa offers the ultimate golfing experience as well as a luxury spa.
Papago Park, Papago Golf Club is a public golf course that immerses golfers in the desert scenery and offers stunning views of the Papago Buttes throughout all 18 holes. As the home course of Arizona State University’s golf teams, golfers can use Papago’s Thunderbirds Golf Complex, a state-of-the-art facility designed by ASU Alum, Phil Mickelson and includes a target practice area to develop wedge control.
Visitors can also hike the nearby Hole in the Rock Hiking Trail within Papago Park for a view of the city’s skyline.
O’HARE OPENS NEWLY
EXPANDED TERMINAL
BRIGHTLINE TRAIN ON-TRACK TO ORLANDO
The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) has celebrated the opening of the new eastern extension of Terminal 5, a major milestone in the $1.3B, four- year investment to expand and modernise the key gateway at O’Hare International Airport.
The terminal features new gate capacity, increased passenger amenities, a more efficient baggage handling system and expanded security checkpoints and customs facilities.
Ten renovated gates opened in the western wing of Terminal 5 in October 2022 as the new home for Delta Air Lines, which shifted operations from the carrier’s long-term home in Terminal 2. Delta’s move also included the construction of
a new Delta Sky Club, located between Gates M11 and M14, with more than four times the capacity of its former club in Terminal 2.
