b'AK-CHIN SOUTHERN DUNES GOLF CLUBMaricopa|(480) 367-8949www.AkChinSouthernDunes.com LOCATION: 31.5 miles south of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport OUR COURSE: We are unique in that we have no houses, no cacti, and no islands of turf in the desert, said General Manager Brady Wilson. We also overseed wall-to-wall to accentuate the Sand Belt look made famous on courses in Melbourne, Australia. With complimentary bottled water, a freshly paved parking lot, new Club Car lithium golf cars, some of the best greens in the Valley, and six different sets of tees, you are always going to get a PURE golf experience at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. INSTAGRAMABLE SPOT: Limiting yourself to only one, or calling one the best, is hard to do here. In fact, Wilson challenges each patron to find their favorite and then tag the club on Instagram. However, if he had to choose, he would give you two holes, with multiple vantage points. From the fairway on No. 9, you have a great view of the green with the clubhouse as a backdrop. From the 14th tee, you can see all 10 bunkers on that hole with a great view of the Estrella Mountains in the background.@akchinsoutherndunes DID YOU KNOW?
