Golf in Tempe

Tempe is a major city in eastern Maricopa County in the East Valley, home to Arizona State University—the largest public university in the United States by enrollment—in the flat Sonoran Desert terrain along the Salt River corridor. The city has a distinctive character driven by the university's large student population, with a vibrant downtown Mill Avenue corridor with restaurants, bars, and entertainment, and Tempe Town Lake along the Salt River serving as an urban recreation resource. Tempe is surrounded by Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Chandler, occupying a central position in the East Valley with significant technology and educational employment. The Sun Devil Stadium and Wells Fargo Arena serve as major sports venues in the Tempe community. Four courses serve the Tempe community in the flat terrain of central Maricopa County.
