Welcome to the Gateway Tour visitors!

The Gateway tour is here this week and these guys can play. Last time they made a stop here Chris Kaman shot our course record, 63! I will be very interested to see if someone can shoot lower than 9 under par this week. If someone is going to shoot the course record, this may be the week to do it. The course is in great shape and the greens are running fast and they are soft!

The weather as of late has been more like Minnesota than Arizona but it looks like we are starting to warm up a little bit. If it does get a little chilly for folks we do have a heat station on the first tee with complimentary Hot Chocolate and fresh pastries to snack on.

With the nice weather comes a lot of play. We were sold out this weekend and it looks like that will be the trend for the next couple of months. I would suggest calling for a tee time well in advance as it will be tough to get a time you are interested in 3 days before the day of play.

We look forward to a great season and hope to see all your smiling faces real soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

What a game last night at the Tostitos Fiesta bowl between the Oklahoma Sooners and Boise State Broncos! Bill Coen was lucky enough to win 2 tickets to that memorable game! Everyone still has 3 days to register to win 2 tickets to the Tostitos BCS National Championship game.

Lately the weather in Phoenix has steadily been getting warmer, which means AWESOME course conditions. The greens were stimped at a 10 today, which is really quick and they are soft! Good course conditions means a lot of play. There are still some open spots if you play before 8:30am. We are running an earlybird special Monday - Thursday for $59.00 and Friday - Sunday and Holidays for $74.00 when you play before 8:30am. After your round, check out the Verde Grill's new menu. There are a lot of new entrees...Try the pulled pork sandwich, it is full of taste!

We look forward to seeing all of you soon, take care and have a successful 2007!
