Arizona Alliance for Golf (AAG) unifies local allied associations, non-profits, private industry and consumers to speak with one voice for the purpose of protecting Arizona’s golf industry by educating the broader community, policymakers and governmental agencies about issues shaping the future of golf in Arizona.

Syngenta Golf’s sustainability docuseries, The Green Report, traveled to Arizona to film a three-part episode about sustainable use of water on desert courses. When faced with tough new water restrictions and hostile media coverage, the local golf community joined forces under the Arizona Alliance for Golf to successfully engage the public and policy makers on why golf was good for people, the planet and prosperity.

In 2021, Arizona’s golf industry produced $6 billion in economic activity while only using 2% of daily statewide water to serve 16.6 million golf rounds. This supported nearly 66,200 jobs, provided $2.3 billion in wages and generated $518 million in state and local tax revenues.

Golf in Arizona gives back to local communities in many ways by fueling charities, uplifting families, and creating opportunities for people who may not even play the game. From the first swing to a lifetime playing the game, golf supports neighborhoods, inspires the next generation, and drives positive impacts far beyond the golf course.
