The modern city of Phoenix developed on the foundations of an ancient Native American pueblo, growing as western farmers revived the original irrigation system to create an agricultural outpost where only the hardiest survived.
Today, nearly perfect year-round weather and several impeccably designed championship courses have made Phoenix one of the world's top golf destinations.
But there's more to this mild-mannered metropolis than pristine greens and tee times. The greater Phoenix area, including the affluent region of Scottsdale, offers an array of impressive cultural attractions such as the internationally renowned Heard Museum, which gives an in-depth look at Native American history, the fascinating Desert Botanical Garden and the Phoenix Art Museum. Theater-going is also popular with top class ballet at the ornate Orpheum Theatre and Broadway shows at the state-of-the-art Dodge Theatre.
