The last 18-hole golf course built in Arizona officially goes fully private

When it opened in February of 2021 , Sterling Grove Golf & Country Club was the first 18-hole golf course built in the greater Phoenix area in five years. In 2026 it remains the most recently built venue in this golfing mecca of close to 200 courses. Now the club in Surprise, Arizona, has gone fully private. That was the plan all along, so everything's right on schedule. The shift was official Nov. 1. The course allowed public play for five years as a semi-private club, but membership has grown to more than 300. The community also has 1,100 homes, so the time was right for the change. "Transitioning to a fully private club allows us to enhance the member experience by focusing on personalized service and exclusive events," general manager Al Larose said in a media release. The 18-hole course by Nicklaus Design is set against a backdrop of the White Tank Mountains west of Phoenix. The course is a parkland-style layout with wide landing areas in fairways and undulating greens. There's an expansive practice area and a large, 18-hole putting course. The club also features three resort-style pools, nine pickleball courts, five tennis courts and bocce courts. The

What's the future of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix?

If it turns out that Colonial Country Club loses the PGA Tour's Charles Schwab Challenge, what does that mean for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship and its current host city of Phoenix? According to reporting by Golfweek 's Adam Schupak, Colonial, home of the longest-running non-major event on the PGA Tour schedule, might see the PGA Tour depart after the 2027 event . This all has to do with the 2028 changes coming to the home to the Tour for 80 years, not being placed in the upcoming Championship Series, the premier level of golf in the PGA Tour's future. Colonial officials reportedly don't want to be in the second-tier Challenger Series and thus could bring the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the Champions tour season finale, to Fort Worth. The senior Schwab event is the last of three postseason events. Schwab is also the sponsor of the Champions tour's season-long Charles Schwab Cup, which goes to the golfer who wins the overall points race. The 2026 rendition will be at Phoenix Country Club , its home since 2017, Nov. 12-15. More: Phoenix Country Club has come a long way from its log cabin clubhouse and oiled sand greens Then, Andrew
