It’s that time of year again…SUMMERTIME in Scottsdale, Arizona! A time of heat, sunshine, heat, and more heat. Did I mention the heat? Here are a few thoughts on summertime at Grayhawk Golf Club from a guy that moved here from the U.P. of Michigan 12 years ago…
1. I love them MANGO TOWELS at Grayhawk! Not quite sure how to explain my obsession, but during a round of golf in the Arizona heat, there is really nothing better than slapping an ice cold, mango scented towel over your face and neck. Kinda sends a tingle of goodness up your spine. Paired with an ice cold beer, it is heaven on Earth…
2. Summer Transition in Arizona is inevitable…like taxes! For those of you not familiar with Arizona summer golf, here is a brief rundown of our best way to explain the summer transition (we put this on all of our golf carts)…
“Please pardon the browning color on our golf courses! This condition is known in the Southwest as Summer Transition. Basically, the winter “Cool Season” Rye Grass dies and summer “Warm Season” Bermuda Grass takes over. We do suggest playing “Winter Rules” during Summer Transition.
Our goal this summer is to continue re-establishing Bermuda Grass through watering, aerifying, and fertilizing, thereby providing you with the best possible playing surface. STAY COOL & ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!”
Check out the pics below for comparison. I took the top pic on May 3, 2011 during our “Cool Season” and the bottom pic on June 13, 2011. Same great courses…different grass. I prefer the “Warm Season” Bermuda grass myself as the rough tends to be a little more forgiving and I rarely hit a fairway these days…
3. The Penguin Summer Promo rules! For $55+tax/player we will treat you to a round of golf and a lunch or dinner at Grayhawk! Click here for info on the Penguin.
4. The Dirty Dozen Summer Promo is dirty! For $370+tax you will receive 12 summer rounds of golf, a dozen Callaway golf balls, 12 2-for-1 entree coupons and 12 weeks to play. Click here for info on the Dirty Dozen.
5. Summer Draft Beer Special! You really can’t beat a cold $3.50 Draft Beer Special in Phil’s Grill. And the coldness runs all summer long through September 14, 2011. Yessssssssssss!
For info on the best year round deals at Grayhawk, check out our White Tee & Black Tee programs. We do love the summers here at Grayhawk too and love offering our summer promotions to help you out! Just make sure to grab an ice cold mango towel and a cold drink from the beverage cart gals when you see them. You won’t regret it!
Until next time-
