Given the weather in Arizona, you don't even have to wait long for a perfect day to hit the greens. After all, there's a reason it's one of the most popular golf destinations in the country. Tee off at five golf courses in Chandler, Arizona. more Whirlwind Golf Club At Whirlwind Golf Club, you'll find 36 available holes to play and a unique theme on each.

In fact, the name itself references the commonality of the whirlwind pattern among native weavers in the area. The 36 holes encompass two courses: the Cattail and the Devil's Claw. As the name suggests, the Devil's Claw course is much more difficult, with numerous hazards and elevation challenges. San Marcos Golf Course While Chandler is home to numerous desert golf courses, San Marcos Golf Course was historically the first to feature grass instead of sand back in 1913. It has come a long way since then, as the whole 18-hole course has been entirely renovated.

You can always partake in the pitch and putt course as well if you're looking for a more family-friendly experience. Ocotillo Golf Resort The legendary Ocotillo Golf Resort was designed by Ted Robinson, and it's frequently heralded as one of the must-play courses in the region. Its 27 holes can be quite challenging, as 24 of them feature difficult hazards to navigate. Should you find success, you'll be rewarded with stunning features, such as waterfalls and vibrant flower beds, around the course. Lone Tree Golf Club If you're a golf beginner, the Lone Tree Golf Club may be the perfect destination for a game. It has 18 holes with a par 71, without extensive hazards or other features that make the game more challenging. Instead, you can enjoy a straightforward progression that's still satisfying and rewarding. There are some hazards, of course, so make sure you keep an eye out for the waterfall hazard. If you're looking for easy access, they offer discount rates around twilight. Bear Creek Golf Complex At the Bear Creek Golf Complex, you can enjoy a varied golfing experience that's suitable for all skill levels. There are two courses available: the Bear Course and the Cub Course. If you're looking for a challenge, you can try to conquer the Bear Course with its rolling fairways and strategic bunkering. For an easier experience, the Cub Course offers a quick experience with a par-3 in all but five holes. With these golf courses in mind, it's easy to find a satisfying course for a game regardless of your skill level.

If you need to tow equipment, a trailer, an RV, or other heavy loads, you want to be certain your vehicle has the power to do so. With the new Ranger, you can rest assured that you'll get your load to your destination without issues. Acceleration You'll get plenty of punch with the accelerator, especially if you drive in Sport Mode. The four-wheel drive Ranger went from zero to 60 in just 6.8 seconds in testing by Edmunds. Acceleration like that will make you feel like you own the road. Navigating Terrain The Ranger's Terrain Management System gives you options for any terrain, with modes including normal, sand, mud, ruts, grass, gravel, and snow. You can also get the available Trail Control for even nimbler navigation of rough terrain. Whether you're battling ice or crossing rocks, you'll be well-equipped to embark on your best adventure yet. The 2019 Ford Ranger is equipped with the power you need to master the road, whether you're cruising down the interstate, going on an off-road adventure, or hauling a heavy trailer. The new Ranger also has the tech features you need to connect with others, find your way, and use voice activation to keep your hands on the steering wheel for safety. If you're excited to check out the 2019 Ranger, feel free to contact us at Earnhardt Ford. We'd be happy to give you a test drive and put you behind the wheel of your favorite new 2019 Ford Ranger.
