Fall & Winter BBQ Ideas

Often when people think of bar-b-que season they think of summer grilling and pool parties. And they would mostly be right, we enjoy plenty of that here at Superstition Mountain. But, the beauty in the location of our Arizona private golf club is the ability to enjoy outdoor living year round.

Temperature averages as per NOAA:

• October 86°/59°
• November 74° /49°
• December 66° /42°
• January 65° /41°
• February 70° /44° 

With no snow to shovel, mild winter temperatures and an average of maybe two rainy days per month, the fall and winter seasons are primed for BBQ and grilling. As we head into the heart of our season, we tapped the club’s Food & Beverage Directory, Chef Josh Nylan for a few tasty recipes.
