The city of Phoenix Arizona is the fifth largest in the United States and it’s one of the faster growing regions in the country.
The hot Arizona desert that surrounds the area, may seem an unlikely stop for the Nationwide tour but just 11 miles from Phoenix Airport is the grand Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort.
The outstanding 175 million dollar project is set on the 600-square-mile reservation of the Gila River Indian Community and it boasts two championship golf courses with a variety of challenges.
Managed by Troon Golf, it’s easy to see why the Whirlwind courses are among the best they operate. The facility was Troon Golf Facility of the Year in 2004 and that was over 140 courses worldwide – so with such an accolade a visit to Whirlwind is imperative.
