Gold Canyon Golf Resort

On the Dinosaur Course at Gold Canyon Golf Resort, central Arizona’s most spectacular mountains are on full display as you play one of Arizona’s most impressive golf courses.

Golden Egg Roll

From the name, you might assume this family-owned Chinese restaurant makes the best egg rolls in town. They’re pretty good, and yes, they’re fried to a nice golden brown. But our favorite item on the menu is the beef spareribs. Order up a plate and you’ll get four juicy, tasty ribs that are covered in […]

Golden Restaurant & Bakery

Golden Restaurant & Bakery in Tempe is a Middle Eastern restaurant with a menu steeped in Levantine culinary tradition, including excellent versions of mezze classics like hummus, baba ganoush, and ful.

Goldfield Ghost Town

Goldie’s Sports Cafe

A sports bar with wonderful food? Yes, it is possible. The steak sandwich, served on fresh homemade focaccia, is so good you won’t be able to concentrate on the game.

Goldman’s Deli

This family-owned Scottsdale eatery bills itself as a “Chicago Style Traditional Jewish Cuisine Delicatessen and Restaurant” and serves chopped liver, gefilte fish, matzoh ball soup, smoked-fish platters, and good old-fashioned pastrami-on-rye sandwiches. Bagels? Of course, there are bagels.

Goldwater Brewing Co.

What do you get when two brothers team up with their dad to brew some beer? Add a close family friend to the mix, and you get one of the Valley’s top local breweries. A few years after opening their brewery and taproom in Scottsdale, Goldwater expanded to include bars in east Mesa and south […]

The Golf Club Scottsdale

In a golf-centric metropolis like ours, one private club was designed with purists in mind: The Golf Club Scottsdale. Like any other private club, membership is limited (to 350 members in this case) and expensive ($110,000 gets you in the door). But it’s what The Golf Club Scottsdale doesn’t have that sets it apart – […]

Golfland Sunsplash

Years ago, having a large pool with a wave-maker and a slide or two was good enough to call yourself a “water park.” But thanks to establishments like Mesa’s Golfland Sunsplash, modern water parks more resemble amusement parks, with a variety of rides and water slides seemingly engineered by thrill-seeking adrenaline junkies. Sunsplash boasts attractions […]
