Located at the municipal Papago Golf Club, the Arizona Golf House grand opening celebration will be held October 22. Hosted by the local golf nonprofits and associations who call it home, the event will be open to each organization’s supporters, members, students, friends and media. The Arizona Golf House will strengthen the missions of the nonprofit tenants, encouraging public participation in golf as well as all of the positive benefits that accompany the game.
“The Arizona Golf House provides a central headquarters for the state’s diverse nonprofit organizations at the heart of the local golf community,” said one of the tenants of the Arizona Golf House, Katie Prendergast, Executive Director of the Arizona Alliance for Golf. “The efficiencies and collaborative advantages of working next to their partners in the Arizona golf community will allow them to do even more for the full demographic of Arizonans they serve — especially young people.”
