News From We-Ko-Pa

The weather is starting to warm up again which means the population here in the Phoenix area is going to dramatically decrease as our out-of-town friends head back to their summer homes. It also means Phoenix and Scottsdale residents have an opportunity to play some of the best golf courses in the world for a reduced rate.

Management at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is pleased to announce the launch of new fleet of 160 golf carts equipped with GPS. For the first time in club history, Club Car was chosen to carry golfers around Cholla and Saguaro. And they’re doing it in style.

“The We-Ko-Pass and Peaks Pass are ideal for avid golfers who would like to play all year long, not just when the rates are the lowest in the heat of summer,” said Matt Barr, general manager of We-Ko-Pa Golf Club. “And best of all, passholders may bring their three golf buddies with them for the same low rate.”

While most of the country is busy shoveling snow this December, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is offering a one-of-a-kind golf experience thanks to our friends at Golf Digest.
