Aguila Golf Course is the latest addition to Phoenix's roster of municipal
golf courses. Designed by golf course architect Gary Panks, the $6.5
million, 210-acre facility features an 18-Hole
Championship Course and a Par 3 Course. Both
offer challenging layout and design. Aguila, surrounded by scenic mountain
views and Phoenix's downtown skyline, welcomes all levels of golfers
from beginners to expert (scratch) golfers. Aguila Golf Course is the
former site of the Alvord family farm. Its name is Spanish for "Eagle."
The Aguila logo adopts an ancient Aztec design of an eagle. Both courses
are flanked by numerous bunkers and holes, with transition areas of
native grasses and wild flowers. The Par Three Course includes two teeing
areas per hole. Aguila Golf Course is operated one half-hour before
