Golf in the Desert, Arizona

waterhole at the golf courseDesert, mountains, and a water hole make for a pretty site at the golf course.

golfball in a cactusOoophs, bet someone had a hard time trying to find their ball after this shot. Sadly, you can see from the holes in the cactus this isn't uncommon. I don't know if this damages the cactus. I did ask when we were there, but didn't really get a good answer.

There are lots of beautiful golf courses in and around Phoenix. I don't play, but hubby sure enjoyed himself.

  1. You think all those people have poor aim or is that right in line with the hole? I have never understood golf or rather how to score it, really makes no sense to me.

  7. Wooooow - how exotic to a Norwegian! I love playing golf but never tried in a desert. On the contrary; If I would play now, it would have to be in snow and ice ;-)

    Happy Weekend!

  14. Ha! ha! ha! That was really funny. How that golf ball hit that spot on the Cactus plant.

    Although I have never played Golf before I have seen it being played. It is amazing like the photos that you have shown here, how the landscape is contoured and continuously maintained over large tracts of land.
