ABOUT: VISTAL GOLF COURSE
Nestled at the base of South Mountain, Vistal Golf Club offers eighteen holes of
championship golf along with amazing views of downtown Phoenix and the Valley of
the Sun. In 2000 the golf course was completely re-designed and built by PGA Tour
Design Services in consultation with local PGA Tour players Tom Lehman, Billy
Mayfair, and Howard Twitty. The course opened to rave reviews in November, 2001.
Four sets of tee boxes let golfers choose to play yardage from 5235 to 7013.
