Golf in AZ

While I was in Arizona, I went golfing at the same course I like in Mesa.

Standing on the 8th tee looking across the 9th fairway towards the shrinking lake

This is a nine hole executive course that is just the basics. The grass on the course is a bit browner than normal.

And the lake is reduced in size quite drastically. But this white egret doesn’t seem to mind.

The brown shows the normal level of the lake when it is full. this shot is looking at the tee area for the 9th hole!

I like this course because of the trees. They provide welcome shade – relief from the Arizona sun, but are difficult to hit golf balls through!

Past the fifth tee, the path travels through a concrete spillway that directs overflow water from an area next to the freeway and into the lake. Obviously, this is only in usd during heavy rains.

The clubhouse is quite simple, and the driving range only gets watered when it rains!
