SUMMERTIME,
AND THE GOLFIN’ IS EASY
HERE ARE FOUR DRAMATIC DESTINATIONS OUT WEST TO TAKE SOME OF THE HEAT OUT OF YOUR SUMMER

hen temperatures in Arizona start feeling like you’re standing too close to the pizza oven, just remember it doesn’t have to be a cruel, cruel summer for those who love the game. Here is a foursome of summer destinations — RenoTahoe, Central Oregon, Utah and northwest New Mexico -- that will allow you to kick back, cool off and still play some great golf in the heart of the summer. The green fees range from $25 to $250-plus, and you can get to any of these four destinations by airplane or, if you have to, automobile. 40 | AZ GOLF Insider | SPRING-SUMMER 2020
RENO-TAHOE-TRUCKEE (NEVADA-CALIFORNIA) There was a time when Arizonans played their summer golf in San Diego at public courses like Torrey Pines and Coronado. But when Reno-TahoeTruckee came along with several highend versions of the game that would rival anything in Scottsdale, a lot of “Zonies” headed for the high Sierras. That trip starts with a flight into RenoTahoe International Airport in Nevada, and ends up in Northern California in the quaint village of Truckee. (You can drive it, but it’s a long day’s drive).
