Top 8 Sights & Landmarks in South Mountain, Arizona (AZ)

September 20, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Nearly perfect year-round weather and several impeccably designed championship courses have made Phoenix one of the top golf destinations in the world. But there's more to this mild-mannered metropolis than pristine greens and tee times. The greater Phoenix area also offers visitors an array of impressive cultural attractions. Visit the internationally renowned Heard Museum for an in-depth look at Native American history or peruse the fine collection at the Phoenix Museum of Art. Enjoy a ballet performance at the ornate Orpheum Theater or or catch a concert at the state-of-the-art Comerica Theatre. In addition to golf, the city offers access to numerous outdoor endeavors including rock climbing, hot-air ballooning, desert jeep tours and more. Family-friendly attractions, first-rate shopping, dining and entertainment, and spectacular recreational activities make Phoenix a must-visit destination.

The breakfast at Morning Glory was amazing. The farm is beautiful and had such a relaxing feel. I ordered the Belgium Style Waffle (blue corn waffle topped with blueberries, whipped butter, blue corn granola crumble) - hands down the best Belgium waffle I’ve ever had!

Dobbins Lookout

Reviewed By mikex2017 - Chicago, United States

Drive to the top then climb around to your heart's desire. The drive itself is super fun and scenic too. It's very open with few if any barriers. Great place for a picnic and there are plenty of places you can climb to and be secluded!

Mystery Castle

Built by a father to realize his daughter's dream, this three-story castle, completed in 1945, is made of stone, adobe, automobile parts and petroglyphs and is held together by a cement mixture including goat's milk. Take a tour - usually led by the daughter, who still lives there - of this odd, yet imaginative dwelling.

Reviewed By MakennaC6 - Seattle, United States

This was easily my favorite thing I've seen in the city of Phoenix. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the castle. It's an absolutely beautiful and unique structure of art. The story behind it is beautiful and you can tell how much love was put into the place.

Beautiful course and well taken care of. They accommodates my bachelor party group with no issues. Service was great! It is a very busy course, so be ready for a slow pace, but the view and layout is worth it! Will definitely play again there next visit!
