Beautiful mountain views and mature trees line the course. The cart paths are all paved, and the course’s new irrigation system makes for a wonderful golf experience.
Grande Sports World
Grande Sports World has helped solve the recreational needs of the community, while providing the local economy with a much-needed boost. Located on 50 acres of land adjacent to Francisco Grande, Grande Sports World is a state-of-the-art facility whose scope of operations and activities stretch 365 days a year. Grande Sports World currently includes eight football and soccer fields, a 59,000 square-foot training facility that houses a weight-training exercise area, therapy centers, classrooms, locker rooms, meeting rooms and laundry facilities that can accommodate up to four full-sized professional teams. The public-private partnership allowed the city to build the facility while turning the day-to-day operations and maintenance over to the Francisco Grande Hotel & Resort. The city also aligned with other groups to help make Grande Sports World a hub for training, fitness and recovery activities. Additional partnerships were formed to market Grande Sports World globally and drive professional and aspiring athletes to the Performance Institute. Furthermore, Casa Grande has partnered with Major League Soccer teams and the U.S.Soccer Development Academy to house their player development program at the site. Ultimately, the Grande Sports Academy will provide world-class instructional programs in soccer, tennis, football, golf and physical and mental conditioning for children from 7 to 18 years old. Grande Sports World has hosted multiple tournaments, and many more are scheduled over the course of the next year. Despite the many things that occur at Grande Sports World, one of the most important aspects of the facility is that it is also used as a venue for local recreational activities. Youth and adult leagues in Casa Grande also have opportunities to schedule dates, reserve the fields and otherwise enjoy the facility.
Paul Mason Sportsplex
The Paul Mason Sportsplex is home to four adult-sized lighted softball diamonds and scoreboards, a concession stand and restrooms.
