JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa holds golf tournament to support Paradise Valley High School golf teams

Wildfire Golf Club will be the host to a charity tournament benefiting the Paradise Valley High School boys and girls golf teams on Sunday, July 24.

       Faldo Championship Golf Course at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort’s Wildfire Golf Club will be the host to a charity tournament benefiting the Paradise Valley High School boys and girls golf teams on Sunday, July 24.

       A victim of the state and district educational cuts, the PVHS Boys and Girls Golf teams’ hope to raise money to help subsidize various expenses throughout the teams’ season. With no uniform stipend and costly tournament fees the PVHS Golf teams’ hope to raise enough money to stop any players from being excluded due to cost and help absorb any added participation fees for the parents.

       Sunday’s July 24th event is $85 per player and includes golf fees, range balls and lunch. Registration begins at 6 a.m. and a shotgun start at 7:30 a.m. Afterwards, a live action, raffle and awards ceremony will take place at the resort's upscale Meritage Steakhouse.

       Call 602.499.5369 or email plindmark@cox.net to sign up for the golf event.

       JW Marriott Desert Ridge Faldo Championship Golf Course plays 6,846 yards, sits on a 174-acre site and offers a slight variation from the typical desert-theme courses. It features generous fairways, large greens and tee boxes. The surrounding mountains and century-old saguaro cacti as well as 108 sand bunkers, reminiscent of the Australian sand belt courses, provide a spectacular setting for the tournament.
