The sun slowly creeps above the desert horizon and the manicured fairways glisten from the evening's dew. At the AAA Four Diamond, all-suite Pointe South Mountain Resort, guests are awakening to another beautiful day full of adventure, relaxation and 18 holes of extraordinary golf. Perhaps best known for Alcatraz—an island green on the 18th hole — Phantom Horse Golf Club is one of the most challenging courses in the Valley, with smooth emerald fairways that snake through Arizona’s rugged desert. Still, while a weekend spent on the links may certainly be one of the reasons guests visit Pointe South Mountain Resort , off the fairways there is still so much to enjoy at this award-winning destination. Cradled against the South Mountain Preserve with 16,000 acres to explore, the resort features 640 lavish suites, a newly renovated spa, an athletic club, five tennis courts, six distinct dining experiences, the Cactus Kids Club and The Oasis—Arizona’s ultimate water adventure! Best of all, everything is found just footsteps from the comfortable guest suites. The Oasis, which was named “One of the Top Ten Theme Parks in the Nation” by The Travel Channel, is a favorite escape for all ages. It is here where guests can race down three thrilling water slides, tube along the Zuni River, make a splash in the wave pool or kick back in the 25-person Caliente Springs hot tub. On Friday and Saturday evenings during the summer months, guests are invited to grab a raft or a lounge chair to watch a Dive-In Movie. Among other blockbusters, this summer’s movie lineup features “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Toy Story.” For the very active traveler, the South Mountain Preserve is a favorite daily retreat with 60 miles of desert trails to journey across. Guests flock here from sunup to sundown to hike, bike, ride horseback and watch the vibrant Arizona sunsets. Not to mention, capture that picture-perfect snapshot to take home. For every guest’s convenience, the resort rents bikes and provides trail maps of the Preserve. The Koli at Pima Crossing Stables is adjacently located to the resort where guests can saddle up for a very memorable ride. For those who prefer being active inside, or out on the tennis court, Phantom Horse Athletic Club is always a great choice. The resort’s 65,000-square-foot facility not only offers a variety of fitness classes to enjoy, including yoga, Pilates, kickboxing and Spinning; but also features the latest in cardio and strength-training equipment, along with five hard-court tennis courts. Named “One of the 50 Greatest US Tennis Resorts” by Tennis Magazine and rated the “28th Best Tennis Resort in the World” by tennisresortsonline.com, Pointe South Mountain Resort allows guests to serve, swing and rally amidst views of The Oasis and the golf club’s famous 18th hole.
