Why The Copper Cup? Arizona's Five C's are: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate. In the early years of the state, the five C's served an important role in the economy, with many jobs in agriculture, ranching, and mining. The Five C’s represent a modest impact on Arizona’s economy today, but they still play a strong cultural role.

Cool. Great course. Would be fun to watch if it was broadcast somewhere.

Played there a few years ago. Good Schmidt-Curley design. The majority of holes are dogleg right, but at this level of play they are just a series of straightish shots with odd aiming points. Relatively flat tract.

Their website says Fred Couples was involved. I do have the course in my regular rotation.
