Front nine at Arizona's
Legend at Arrowhead
affronts golfer

(Feb. 14, 2007) - The front nine at the Legend at Arrowhead golf course in Glendale, Ariz., had little to offer in the way of challenge except for the chewed-up greens and the sucker pin placements (one actually caused a six-putt).

The back nine felt slightly more like what we expected to find at a mid-level course in Arizona. Greens seemed to fill out and the holes got slightly more interesting.

All in all not a terrible $52 spent. However, the the practice of closing the clubhouse early to would-be thirsty warriors is something I don't comprehend. (This also happend at the Biltmore with a much bitchier bartender. I don't get it.)
