Strohl Systems Annual Golf Outing
Sunday, April 22
8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Experience a challenging and beautiful Phoenix golf course! Nick Faldo, winner of three Masters and three British Opens, says that this course is not reminiscent of other Arizona layouts. He has certainly done a fine job on the Faldo Course, the site of the 007 Strohl Annual Golf Tournament. The par 71 layout sits on a 17-acre site and offers a slight variation from typical Sonoran Desert-themed courses. It features generous fairways, large bent grass greens and tee boxes. The surrounding mountains and century-old saguaro cacti provide a spectacular setting for the golf course and golfing guests.
River Float Excursion
Sunday, April 22
11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Desert plants and animals seen along the way will also be discussed.
