First Tee in Phoenix, Arizona, sits on the southern edge of Papago Park, bordered by the Salt River Project canal and the Red Mountain Freeway. The course is maintained by the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and functions as a junior-focused facility with an 18-hole putting course and a full driving range. Fairways are narrow and lined with desert landscaping, including creosote, brittlebush, and occasional stands of ironwood. Water hazards are absent, but the terrain includes several arroyos that cross play. Greens are TifEagle bermudagrass, overseeded with rye in winter, and are rolled daily during peak season. The course is walk-only except for golfers with mobility permits; a single cart path serves maintenance vehicles. Shade structures are limited to the practice range and starter building. The property shares its eastern boundary with the Phoenix Zoo and is directly across the street from the Desert Botanical Garden.
