But while many Scottsdale busi-
nesses are offering promotional pack-
ages to take advantage of lodging,
restaurants and other activities, it's
also heavily golf-centric. The week
will include a variety of golf-themed
events, instructional clinics and com-
petitions at participating golf clubs.
For instance, ASU Karsten is offer-
ing a twosome special during the
week, which consists of two rounds of
golf and two sleeves of balls for $134
Monday-Thursday and $149 Friday-
Sunday. Eagle Mountain is offering
18 holes, breakfast or lunch, two
drinks and a $20 retail certificate for
$129 Monday-Thursday and $139 Fri-
day through Sunday. Longbow Golf
Club is offering two rounds of golf
during the week, rental clubs, a sleeve
of balls and 20 percent off items in its
restaurant for $115. Four players can
play for the price of three at McDow-
ell Mountain, and play at Palm Val-
ley is 25 percent off during the week.

ASU KARSTEN GOLF COURSE
T
he home course to Arizona State University's men's and women's golf
teams (which have produced such names as Phil Mickelson, Billy Mayfair,
Grace Park and Anna Nordqvist), this Tempe track is a Pete Dye-designed
links-style course. Like all Dye courses, it's creative and challenging, featuring
his signature mounding, unique bunkering style and perilous greens.
The back tees stretch 7,002 yards – and they're called "professional tees" for
a reason, while the championship tees play to a more manageable 6,228 yards.
Memorable holes abound, including a daunting par-3 16th hole, which is 248
yards from the tips, and the par-4 18th, which is vigorously guarded by water
down the left side and ranks among the toughest finishing holes in the state.
