As in real estate, location counts for a lot when it comes to golf. Often courses that are just a bit off the beaten path get overlooked even though the quality of the experience and the value they offer stack up well against all competitors. Such is the case for Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia, one of the Valley’s true hidden gems.

 Though it’s not exactly “out of the way,” just minutes from the new Loop 303, it was developed and came of age at a time when most serious golfers didn’t look to the northwest corner of the Valley for tee times. However, that’s a habit and an attitude that is rapidly changing.

Newer developments and newer golf courses are bringing renewed interest to the area, and Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia is, in many ways, the benchmark for excellence that others aspire to emulate. Its course has a standout design crafted by celebrated Arizona golf course architect Gary Panks, the designer of Grayhawk’s Talon Course and the popular Raven South Mountain. At Vistancia, Panks arguably started with the best natural terrain of any golf course project he designed in the Valley. And, he made outstanding use of its flow and features. The routing incorporates beautiful desert mountain backdrops, native arroyos and subtle elevation changes to present players with a golf experience as varied and thrilling as it is beautiful. Panks’ thoughtful design offers exceptional shot values and numerous risk/reward opportunities that challenges golfers to make the most of their skills should they choose to test them. However, its generous fairways and receptive greens make it a joy to play for all players. So good is the overall experience. Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia is the only Golf Digest Five-Star designated golf club in Arizona.

Making it all the more attractive this summer, Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia has introduced a simple pricing structure that will begin June 6th. Rates will be $40 before 10 a.m., $30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and $20 after 1 p.m., making it truly perhaps the best value in Arizona golf. And, equally enticing, the club is reintroducing $1 beers (Bud Light and Coors Light) available from the beverage cart all summer long.

Award-Winning On and Off the Course
Of course the fun doesn’t end after the 18th green. The award-winning V’s Taproom, located within Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia, has become one of the most popular 19th Holes and neighborhood hangouts in the entire Valley. Recent recipient of the Golden Fork Award from Golf Inc., which recognizes the best on-course dining establishments in the country, V’s Taproom features fresh, locally sourced ingredients with items made from scratch daily. Selections range from the delicious Kale Veggie Salad to the restaurant’s signature “Millionaire Burger” and four-hour braised short rib “street-style” tacos. Pasta dishes include Shrimp & Angel Hair Pasta, Tagliatelle Bolognese and Basil Chicken Pasta. There’s even a showcase Pizza Bar where V’s pizza artisans prepare fresh, gourmet pizzas while guests watch.

In addition to national favorites, V’s Taproom offers a wide selection of craft and locally brewed beers as well as a gluten-free cider. The restaurant also offers a selection of wines on tap – yes, on tap – from One Hope Wines from the Central Coast of California. In addition to providing the innovative tap wine option, One Hope gives back to society by directing 50 percent of the profits to benefit groups that fight breast cancer and childhood autism.

The ambiance is set with upscale, intimate booth seating around unique butcher-block style tables made of indigenous Arizona mesquite wood. Large windows bring in natural light and beautiful views of the golf course and desert beyond. A large indoor-outdoor bar leads to an expansive patio while multiple flat-screen televisions (including a massive 70-inch set) allow for comfortable viewing both indoors and out.
