As one of the youngest courses in Arizona, the Ritz Golf Club at Dove Mountain not only showcases 27 enchanting holes of Nicklaus design but also a primo dining establishment known as Cayton’s. And although the clubs carries with it a Ritzy reputation, the venue couldn’t be more down to earth. With happy hour specials seven nights a week, Cayton’s patio is an ideal place to unwind and take in a post-round desert sunset. Cocktails and appetizers are served from 3 p.m. until dusk with half off select appetizers and beer and wine specials from 5-7 p.m. Flat screen plasma TVs and signature cocktails like the prickly pear margarita or strawberry mojito parlay a relaxing atmosphere further punctuated by live acoustical guitar music every Friday evening.

The Dynamite Bar and Grille at Troon North Golf Club is another Valley hot spot for kicking back after a day on the links. Open every day of the week, Dynamite Bar and Grille is known for its classic American-style cuisine like burgers grilled to a tee and clubhouse staples done up gourmet style. The Grille’s windows and patio capture breathtaking views of the Pinnacle course’s 18th hole.

Whether you’re celebrating your lowest round ever or nursing a rough day spent out of bounds, the club’s watering hole is the best place to reminisce or forget about it all.
