I live on McCormick Ranch Golf course and feel just a bit spoiled waking up to these beautiful views each morning.
Here’s a Flickr photo set of the golf course, so you can see more of photos of the course. Also you can subscribe to this photo set, so you will be updated as I add more pictures of this centrally located public course.
For more information about the specifics of playing on the centrally located public course, your can visit the McCormick Ranch Golf Club site.
I may seem a little hung up on traffic this weekend, but I’ve been told more than once that over a million extra bodies are expected in downtown Scottsdale this weekend. Sounds like a huge party to me!
The City of Scottsdale does a great job keeping residents updated. I got an email at 10 p.m. last night, updating me on where to park if I was headed downtown for one of the many parties. Here’s yet another email update on how to avoid the bottlenecks.
SCOTTSDALE’S “SUPER WEEK” CONTINUES
The world is watching Scottsdale this week – and up to 1 million visitors are expected in town to check out our special events.
The FBR Open golf tournament continues at the TPC Scottsdale, the Sun Country Circuit horse show continues at WestWorld and dozens of Super Bowl related activities will unfold in Scottsdale right up to the big game this Sunday, Feb. 3.
To accommodate special events, the following street closures are taking place in downtown through Feb. 4:
** Stetson Drive, from Fifth Avenue to Scottsdale Road
** Sixth Avenue, west of Scottsdale Road to Stetson Drive
** The north and south sides of the SRP Canal from Goldwater Boulevard to Scottsdale Road
** Marshall Way, south of Via Soleri DriveMore information on these closures is available at:
http://eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/capitalprojects/proj_report.asp?proj=D0703&status=D0703There are a number of ways residents and visitors can keep up to date on parking and traffic conditions at the various event venues.
Information will be available on the city’s Web site at:
http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/events/specialevents.aspScottsdale also will list special event traffic and parking information on the 312-CITY phone, as well as the Arizona Department of Transportation’s “511″ phone system.
General information about special events and city services is also available by calling 312-3111.
You can also have traffic updates sent to your phone this weekend.
A special service is being offered from the City of Scottsdale this weekend only:
Scottsdale is offering a special cell phone text messaging service to alert Downtown businesses about significant traffic emergencies, such as the unexpected closure of a major road or intersection, during the weekend. Subscribing to the weekend service is simple. Send the keyword “SBNEWS” to the number 25827 and you’ll be automatically subscribed. You’ll receive a return message verifying your subscription. The city will send texts ONLY in the event of a major road closure or problem that causes a significant and unexpected traffic diversion. Businesses may find it useful to subscribe to the service to alert customers who are on their way to an event or trying to head home. This service is offered free by the city, however, your carrier’s text messaging fees will apply.
Winter gets a bit crazy in Scottsdale with its continual stream of special events, and the City of Scottsdale keeps a events page on their web site for visitors and residents to keep track of what’s going on.
Scottsdale’s special events season is about to blossom.
From Super Bowl events to classic car auctions and the FBR Open golf tournament – residents and visitors can get information on what’s taking place when by visiting the city’s special events Web page at: http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/events/specialevents.asp
Traffic and parking information also will be featured on the page and once again, the city is teaming with the Arizona Department of Transportation to provide up-to-date traffic and parking conditions via the state’s “511″ phone system.
Enjoy the season – and remember the city’s special events Web site and ADOT’s 511 phone line are available to help plan your Scottsdale activities.
