Arizona Golf Authority AZGA Golf Course Buzz:<\/span><\/strong> Pebblebrook Golf Course was the first of 7 courses built in Sun City West, the successful retirement community for active adults located northwest of downtown Phoenix. The development now boasts nearly 30,000 residents, who enjoy a variety of activities within the community. Golf is high on the list and Pebblebrook may be the most popular course of them all.<\/p>\n

Designed by Greg Nash, who created several layouts in Arizona\u2019s adult communities, it\u2019s a traditional, player-friendly course that is relatively flat with wide fairways bordered by mature trees.<\/p>\n

Although the large greens make the course appear quite expansive, don\u2019t stray too far off line because four lakes and a winding creek bring water into play on nine holes. And here\u2019s another tip; don\u2019t let your miss be a slice because you\u2019ll soon learn the lakes are located on the right side of your targets.<\/p>\n

Scenic mountain backdrops grace several holes and Pebblebrook offers four sets of tees, ranging from 6,410 to 5,709 yards, so everyone can enjoy the views; it\u2019s rated at 70.1 with a slope of 119 from the tips.<\/p>\n

The front-9 features a lake that complicates matters on 3 holes of a 4-hole stretch that starts at No. 5, a 339-yard par-4 with the lake running along the right side of the fairway and wrapping behind the green.<\/p>\n

After the putts drop at the 6th, a 429-yard par-4, the same lake guards the right and rear sides of the 7th green, a 504-yard par 5 that is well-bunkered.<\/p>\n

Your tee shot must then carry the lake at the par-3, 139-yard 8th hole; greenside bunkers threaten there as well.<\/p>\n

Pebblebrook also has a nice 2-hole finishing stretch. No. 17 is a 510-yard par-5 with a lake near the end of the fairway, on the right, that wraps around behind the green. The 18th is a short par 4 at 357 yards, but a creek cuts across the fairway twice and flows into another lake that starts about 100 yards from the pin and wraps around the right side and rear of the green; three large bunkers guard the front.<\/p>\n

Complete practice facilities are available and there are a variety of membership programs from which residents can choose. Sun City West offers more than $125 million worth of amenities to its residents, including four recreation centers, a state-of-the-art bowling center, a recently renovated private library and more than 100 chartered clubs.<\/p>\n

It also has a wildlife preservation program that takes a special interest in providing a haven for white swans at all of its golf courses.<\/p>\n
