Paradise Valley Park GC, Phoenix. Jeff Hardin, 1986.

Not to be confused with Paradise Valley Country Club a few miles to the south, this is an 18-hole executive course next to Paradise Valley Community College.

There’s nothing must-see here, but there’s more challenge for the good player than most executive courses offer. The par 3s have some length and a couple of the par 4s on the back have dramatic greens.

The conditions can be spotty, but this is a decent enough spot to learn the game or shake the rust off.
