Phoenix has garnered well-earned praise as one of the world's top five golf
destinations. As the sixth-largest city in the United States, with nearly
1.3 million residents, Phoenix offers a multitude of cultural and
recreational activities. Greater Phoenix gives visitors the opportunity to
enjoy countless activities ranging from outstanding museums, galleries,
performing arts, fine dining, horseback riding and cowboy shoot-outs. The
climate makes outdoor activities, such as desert jeep tours, hot-air
