It fosters community activities in the form of the South East Valley Home-and-Homes, Intra-Club, and Summer tournaments with Sunbird, Ironwood, Cottonwood, Oakwood, and Sun Lakes Country Club.

Cottonwood Sunday Couples and Cottonwood and Palo Verde Twilight Couples

Cottonwood Couples host events every Sunday through out the year.  Couples are invited to sign up as a twosome or foursome on the Event Section of our Chelsea Reservation System. A list of games played is in our annual calendar.

Cottonwood Twilight Couples events are 9 holes of a scramble format. They will be four person teams and the Pro Shop will make the pairings. Twilight Couples do not use the Chelsea Reservation System as there will be a sign-up sheet in the Pro Shop each week.

Palo Verde Twilight Couples begins in May and runs through September. PV will also host another exciting Night Golf event at the end of September. 

Both Sunday and Twilight Couples Events are an exciting way of meeting friends and developing new relationships.
