The Arizona desert is known for its championship-level golf and some of the best courses in the country, but when summer rolls around, it can be hard to play without breaking a serious sweat.
This summer, the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is giving golfers the opportunity to enjoy their favorite summer pastime without having to deal with the triple-digit desert weather. Night Flight golf is a unique way for golfers to escape the heat of summer by playing at night at the city's Palo Verde Golf Course, a 9-hole course in central Phoenix. The special tournaments will be held during the months of June, July, August, September and October.

The Night Flight golf program features a course lined with glow lights. Players receive a glow necklace and glow ball, and each foursome is given a flash light to help guide the next foursome. No golf carts are used during Night Flight golf, for safety reasons, so golfers walk or pull a cart.
Night golf costs $100 per foursome, and each event will be run in a four-person scramble tournament format that includes prizes and goodie bags for all participants. Pre-registration is required for the Night Flight golf, so grab your favorite golfing buddies and get ready to swing in the cool of the night.
