GreatLIFE members: You’ve got the best reason yet for a golf trip to Arizona.

Thanks to a new partnership with Thompson Golf Group, GreatLIFE members will receive a significant discount when golfing at three exceptional courses in the Phoenix area.

“These are awesome courses,” vice president of golf Jason Sudenga said. “We’re always looking to add member benefits, and this is a really exciting one.”

He knows from experience: Sudenga has played all three courses and was in Arizona this week getting another firsthand look.

“I was with other GreatLIFE members, and they all agreed this is a benefit many people are going to love trying out,” he said.

Here’s a closer look at the courses available:

Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club

Located in Cave Creek, 30 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport and five minutes from Scottsdale, this Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed course is dubbed Arizona’s best-kept secret in golf.

It puts a premium on strategy and has a variety of holes that translate to a challenging but refreshing round. Opening in 1998 to accolades as Arizona’s best new golf course, it’s the centerpiece of the 850-acre Dove Valley Ranch master planned community.

Mountain Brook Golf Club

Located in Gold Canyon and 15 minutes from Phoenix Gateway Airport, Mountain Brook offers amazing views of the Superstition Mountains. It’s a friendly length with shorter greens that was named one of America’s most improved golf courses by Golf Advisor.

Golfers can choose from multiple teeing areas for a course from 5,100 to 6,700 yards. The course has a modern desert design on 12 acres with a full-service clubhouse and restaurant.

Trilogy Golf Club at Power Ranch

Located in Gilbert and minutes from Phoenix Gateway Airport, you can be on the course as soon as you touch down. You’re surrounded by breathtaking views of the San Tan Mountains with a championship-caliber experience.

These consistently outstanding conditions include some of the East Valley’s truest greens.

And don’t miss the outstanding dining at Slate Bistro & Bar, known for the best prime rib in the East Valley.

Closer to home

As for whether the season is over in Sioux Falls – Sudenga isn’t ruling it out.

“It’s just a matter of if the course is playable or not,” he said. “If the snow melts off and we can get out there, technically we never close for the year.”
