The two 18-hole courses afford picturesque vistas of Pinnacle Peak and were redesigned by Tom Weiskopf. TPC Scottsdale is home to the annual Waste Management Phoenix Open, which welcomes the PGA tour each February. Jay Morrish and Tom Weiskopf designed the two championship courses, which are open to the public for play. Enjoy scenic views of the McDowell Mountains, rolling greens and water hazards on the two courses at Grayhawk Golf Club.

Meet Me at the Pub Local pubs that matter
Often referred to as the best brewpub in the Valley, Four Peaks is fun. Its Tempe location, where it started, is housed in a building built in 1892 that was originally a creamery. These guys are serious about brewing and the entire process is done on the premises. Food is served, but you’ll want to go for the beer. 1340 E. 8th St.,Tempe 480-303-9967
