What this means is that you can buy or build an Arizona home directly situated within a golf community enjoying all of its benefits and amenities at approximately half of the golf courses in Arizona. In fact, Arizona is the No. 2 state for this very reason.
So, keep telling yourself, with less than 12 inches inches of annual rainfall, 83.6° F being the year-round average temperature, 325 sun-filled days per year of ideal golf conditions and more than 300 golf courses, perhaps it all comes down to weather. As Jack Nicklaus points out, “From well-conditioned greens and fairways, to breathtaking scenery, to outstanding weather, Arizona golf is truly an enjoyable experience.”
