Paradise Valley: Discover Golf and Open Spaces

Explore Paradise Valley through a range of interests: golf at two courses, outdoor activities, and the Goldwater Memorial each offer their own highlights. The Arizona Canal Trail also borders Paradise Valley, with three access points from there. If you’re looking for a vacation rental, you can start by considering whether golf, outdoor activities, or individual attractions will shape your trip. This helps give your planning a clear starting point.

Open Spaces and Outdoor Activities

The Phoenix Mountain Preserves are among Paradise Valley’s public, accessible open spaces. Recreational activities with a low impact in these open spaces include walking, hiking, cycling, and horseback riding. This gives you a choice of different ways to enjoy the outdoors: when planning your day, you can focus more on an activity on foot, by bike, or on horseback. Deciding which one you want to shape your trip is a helpful first point of reference for planning your outings.

The Arizona Canal Trail borders Paradise Valley and has three direct access points from there, via Jackrabbit Road, 32nd Street, and 36th Street. Near Paradise Valley, the trail extends for almost 50 miles along paved and unpaved paths. Jogging, cycling, and horseback riding are among the possible activities. The named access points offer concrete starting points for planning; the different trail surfaces are another aspect to consider when choosing your route. As trail conditions can change, check them before your outing.

Comparing Two Golf Course Profiles

Camelback Golf Club has 36 holes across two golf courses in the Indian Bend Wash. Both courses are open to the public. Mountain Shadows Golf Club offers a different focus: it is a public 18-hole short course with views of the north side of Camelback Mountain.

You can therefore make your choice based on the type of course you’re looking for: Camelback Golf Club’s 36 holes are spread across two courses, while Mountain Shadows offers a short course with the mountain view described above. Consider which option fits better into your vacation plans. Current booking conditions may change, so check them before planning your day of golf.

Craftsmanship and Architectural History at Cosanti

At Cosanti, visitors can watch foundry specialists pour bronze heated to 2,200 degrees into sand molds. The timing of the pour depends on the weather, so it’s a good idea to keep your plans flexible. Tours introduce visitors to the historic residential and workshop buildings. The original structures date from the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Here, two different interests come together: if you find craft processes fascinating, you can watch the bronze casting; if you’re more interested in architectural history, the residential and workshop buildings offer a distinct focus. This makes it easy to include Cosanti in your travel plans based on the subject that interests you most.

An Attraction and Choosing a Vacation Rental

The Goldwater Memorial is an attraction in Paradise Valley and offers another possible stop alongside golf and outdoor activities. When looking for a vacation rental, you can first consider which experiences you want to shape your days. The two golf course profiles, outdoor activities, and individual attractions each offer different points of reference. This lets you tailor your search to the kind of trip you have in mind.
