 Want a real party? The PGA Tour comes to The TPC of Scottsdale January
29 through February 4 for the FBR Open—the most attended tour stop in
the country. Along with the best players in the world come huge
galleries, nightly parties, music and opportunities to meet, greet or
watch people as they pass on by. The FBR Open is one of the few
tournaments where cheering is encouraged, as evidenced by the rowdy
par-3 16th hole. It really is the “Greatest Show on Grass.”

Phoenix/Scottsdale/Mesa area totaling somewhere near 200 golf courses,

desert golf boomtowns. It’s culture shock for many once they get there,
as golfers from all over the world marvel at the union between harsh
desert topography and the soft, caressing ribbons of fairway and greens
that make up each golf oasis.

 Golf’s newest darling—as far as course developments are concerned—is
the state of New Mexico. As Indian gaming continues to explode in
popularity, so, too, has the new cluster of golf courses built on or
