If you’ve ever taken a look at the Awards and Accolades section of Wekopa.com or stopped to gander at the two large framed posters next to the golf shop and the We-Ko-Pa Grille, you’ve probably noticed our two courses have racked up numerous awards and special distinctions.

A lot of planning and pride goes into operating Arizona’s best golf facility. From outside service staff to front-office management and the surrounding Fort McDowell Yavapai nation, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club has an amazing team dedicated to providing the best possible golf experience and service to its guests.

In the decades immediately following World War I, the Phoenix area was a little more than a pass-through town on the way to California. The summers were scorching and air conditioning was a luxury that would not be fully integrated in homes and businesses for another 20 years.

With father’s day rapidly approaching, we thought we’d take a deep dive into what connects We-Ko-Pa to the “father” of golf for our third edition of Six Degrees of We-Ko-Pa Golf Club.

Before the comprehensive knowledge of human existence was condensed to a quick Google search, planning a golf trip with your buddies was a tedious and time-consuming experience. You had to agree on the destination, make countless calls to golf shops, hotels and restaurants, and even corral your friends to make sure everyone was on the same page.

We have some advice for those buying for the “person who has everything” – don’t break the mold. You already know mom and dad love golf, so why push the boundaries? And with Mother’s Day and Father’s day right around the corner, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club has exactly what the golfer in your life is looking for.

From the outside service members to the front office staff, everyone on the We-Ko-Pa Golf Club team works tirelessly to bring its players the absolute best golf experience imaginable. The love of the game and the chance to sneak 9 holes in just before dark is part of the reason We-Ko-Pa’s staff is so committed to keeping their promise to the customer, but it’s what customers have to say about the club that makes everyone proud. Here’s what just a few of We-Ko-Pa Golf Club fans have to say about their favorite club.

The Sonoran Desert, more specifically the Valley of the Sun, has been a perennial winter destination for our Canadian neighbors to the north for decades. It’s no secret as to why. Spectacularly mild winters and a host of world-class events like the Waste Management Phoenix Open and Barrett Jackson Car Auction open up the Scottsdale area for loads of fun.

It’s time for the second round of Six Degrees of We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, and we can’t think of a better topic than The Masters set to tee it up in early April at the hallowed grounds of Augusta National.

Spring Training and golf – what a wonderful pair. Cactus League play is right around the corner, and if you’re planning on soaking in the winter sun, catching a few ball games and playing a few rounds of golf, man, do we have good news.

When you’re teeing it up at We-Ko-Pa, it’s easy to notice the lack of noise pollution that clouds most of the Valley. The warm silence of nature and its uncanny ability to aid focus, and help a few off the toe find their way to the cup, makes everything feel a little closer to home. At We-Ko-Pa, it’s mostly about feeling connected, which is why we’ve taken an interesting spin on a popular game about an ever shrinking world: Six Degrees of Separation – We-Ko-Pa Golf Club.

Last year’s 26th edition of the UFO convention drew thousands of people to We-Ko-Pa Resort and Conference Center to recount their own stories and paranormal experiences. This year, the 27th edition promises a who’s who lineup of speakers including former intelligence offers, military whistleblowers, authors, lecturers and filmmakers all looking to spread the word of alien visitors.
