So - we have favorite courses? Want to try new ones? 36 a day?

Chat it up folks - looking for any ideas.

I'm good with 18 a day and social activities. Don't mind where we play. I'll bow to the local knowledge. I just want it to HURRY UP!

Like to settle on a hotel soon as I need to arrange the necessary visitor visa waiver etc.

For the hotel I'm just not sure what to do. The last time I called and got us a 'rate', I noticed you could get the same rate from Expedia and others. Also, some used points to stay elsewhere for free.

I know my desire to limit driving when having a few drinks (especially when in unfamiliar terrotiry) is not shared by all, so I don't want to dictate that everyone follows it.

So, that said I know the place we stayed a few years ago was by far the most convenient and provided the most options within a short walk. It also got the most positive feedback from participents. So I think its safe to say I'll deem it 'Desert Storm Central' but by no means make people feel they have to stay there.

Here tis: Country Inn and Suites Mesa

Its where I will be staying anyway. Nothing like having a pub right across the parking lot to walk home from

I gotta give a Big +1 to the Hotel and surroundings.

That Hotel works for me! Plenty of pubs, resturaunts and other attractions nearby. Easy access to hwy and comfy too!

As far as courses...Whirlwind would be nice for a replay day (if it can be arranged).We Ko Pa has been knocked around for a few years, that would be nice to get back to also! JMO

Nothing like setting your goals high.
