Arizona's first fully lit golf course adds new element to Valley golf scene.Tempe, Ariz. (December 4, 2023) – Phoenix area golfers can now play under the lights as Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills flipped the switch on Arizona’s first fully lit 18-hole golf course on Friday, December 1st. Tee times for night golf, as well as morning and afternoon play, can be made at https://grassclippingsaz.com. The golf course is open daily, with play available nightly until midnight Friday through Sunday and 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday.More than 78 LED lights illuminate the golf course, which plays as a par 54, par-3 golf course at night and as an executive-length golf course (with par 3s and 4s) during the day. Golfers are able to track ball flight through the night sky on holes that range from 90 to 200-plus yards, while enjoying 360-degree views of downtown Tempe, Sky Harbor Airport, downtown Phoenix, the Phoenix Zoo and the nighttime silhouette of Papago Buttes. The course is available for charity tournaments and events, competitions, skins games, or just fun day or night golf with friends.The introduction of lights and night golf is the second phase of redevelopment for the golf and entertainment venue, the flagship location for Grass Clippings’ cutting-edge vision. The team is also in the process of renovating the clubhouse, adding a new Mexican food restaurant, a patio bar and refurbishing the former Rolling Hills golf shop. In addition, Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills will add a hilltop bar near hole 8, an activity lawn and video display, and an entertainment site for live music, markets, and events, with full completion of all projects targeted for fall 2024. The Grass Clippings team will also soon implement junior golf programming that will extend access to the golf course and venue to a diverse community of young golfers.
