Longbow Golf Club, Mesa
The second course we played on our Arizona Golf trip this month was Longbow Golf Club in Mesa. My partner loved this course in particular. It was beautifully maintained, as you can tell from these pics.
A very open, rolling course. Lots of small aircraft to watch between shots — it’s right next to the Falcon Field Airport. The club member who was paired with us for our round says it’s one of the busiest small craft airports in the country.
One of the nicest sights from the course is this one, of Red Rock Mountain.
We also spotted a Snowy Egret. I believe this is looking from the fairway of number 13, across the water hazard that runs between it and 15.
And these Mourning Doves, perched on this spiky plant which name escapes me right now.
My partner got a whole lot more pars than I did this round. But I played below my handicap — again. Little did I know that I was about to blow that handicap out of the water . . .
