ARIZONA GOLF HOUSE
GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION
On a slow weather day, Fox 10’s Cory McCloskey broke away from the studio to cover the grand opening of the Arizona Golf House on October 22. The local golf nonprofits who call the new golf house home kept the intrepid meteorologist busy showing him around the place during the all-hands-on-deck celebration attended by the local golf community.
Located at the Papago Golf Club, the Arizona Golf House’s purpose is to encourage public participation in golf as well as all of the positive benefits that accompany the game. Current tenants include the Arizona Alliance for Golf, AZ Caddie and Leadership Academy, AZ GOLF, Cactus and Pine Golf Course Superintendents Association, Evans Scholarship Foundation, First Tee — Phoenix, Greater Southwest Club Management Association of America, Junior Golf Association of Arizona, LPGA*USGA Girls Golf – Phoenix, Southwest PGA and Youth on Course.
Arizonans from all walks of life are highly encouraged to engage any of the resident golf nonprofits, and with opportunities for everyone, it’s easy to find a program that fits. Plus, the facility also offers an open-to-the-public, multi-purpose event space available upon request for rent for various gatherings.
