A Hole in One

It’s no secret that the Valley of the Sun is home to more golf courses than shopping malls; we’re looked to nationally as a premier golf destination because of our wonderful weather and gorgeous courses. And they’re all right in our own backyard, adding to the many reasons to consider one of them for your wedding day. The best part? None of these clubs require membership for you to host your wedding there. Read on to learn why these locales are anything but par for the course.

Stellar views
Unparalleled views are among the top reasons a golf course makes a great reception venue. Rolling greens, water features and mountain backdrops are standard—and breathtakingly beautiful. Whether you want an outdoor wedding or an indoor reception, most Valley clubs have something to suit your needs.
    Eagle Mountain Golf Club in Fountain Hills offers an outdoor ceremony site with views of the entire Valley. In case the weather doesn’t cooperate, there’s a climate-controlled indoor reception area with floor-to-ceiling windows. 
    “Everyone picks this place because of the view; we’re right on the Fountain Hills/Scottsdale border,” says Nic Smith, food and beverage director. The pavilion windows can completely open, he adds, making the spot perfect for an outdoor feel without some of the scorching temps.
