Developers haven’t completely closed the book on golf’s prospects in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. The area may be among the nation’s most over-built golf markets, but a revised master plan for Grand Vista, a nearly forgotten 5,500-acre community in Surprise, still reserves space for an 18-hole layout.
Of course, Toll Brothers’ original concept called for a pair of 18-hole courses, but that was in the mid 2000s, before the divorce between golf and residential development was finalized. So let’s be thankful for small favors.
