Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino announces 2009 Golf Stay and Play Packages

(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) - Radisson Fort McDowell Casino Resort Announces Arizona Stay-and-Play Packages for 2009.

"We are excited to announce our 2009 packages," said Kevin McCormick, National Golf Sales Manager for the Radisson. "The Radisson Fort McDowell Resort and Casino is uniquely located on the same property as We-Ko-Pa Golf Club and a short shuttle ride to Eagle Mountain Golf Club and SunRidge Canyon Golf Club. The Radisson provides exclusive resort packages to players coming to town to enjoy award winning desert golf, casino action and dining."

We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is a preferred golf experience. With 2 award-winning layouts, it has quickly become recognized as the flagship for Arizona desert golf. Designed by Scott Miller, Cholla is a 7,225 yard layout and was named No. 38 Best Resort Courses 2009 by Golfweek and No. 35 Golf Magazine Best You can Play 2008. The Saguaro course was designed by Ben Crenshaw and opened in December 2006. It was awarded No. 44 Best You Can Play by Golf Magazine 2008 and recently received No. 16 Best Resort Course by Golfweek 2009. In addition, We-Ko-Pa is distinguished as Golfweeks No. 1 Public Access Course in Arizona 2008 and No. 8 Best Casino Course nationally.

SunRidge Canyon Golf Club - Designed by Keith Foster, this desert layout is a 6,823-yard, par-71 with non-returning nines. Your golf adventure begins at the upper mouth of the canyon and descends switch-back style to the canyon floor. Along the way, the golf course follows the rugged natural terrain of stony ridges, rock outcroppings and secluded hollows. Because the fairways are not parallel, players enjoy a true sense of serenity and oneness with the golf course. SunRidge is a short courtesy shuttle from The Radisson Fort McDowell Golf Resort.

Eagle Mountain Golf Club is a local favorite and located in the rugged McDowell Mountains minutes from The Radisson. This Scott Miller design dramatically weaves its way through shaded box canyons and around majestic mountain peaks unique to this scenic corner of the Sonoran desert. Miller's desert golf creation seamlessly blends spectacular views of the Valley below and this stunning layout has earned numerous awards including: "Best of Phoenix Public Golf Courses" in 2006 by the Phoenix New Times and " No. 1 Public Golf Course" Arizona Magazine, 2006 & 2007.

"This is a great opportunity to take advantage of great airfares to Phoenix, great weather, and 4 Diamond lodging," McCormick added.
