London Bridge Golf Course : This home is located in the London Bridge Golf Course neighborhood, just across the street from the course. This facility has two regulation eighteen hole courses. The London Bridge Course is the championship course because it's the more difficult of the two. Water hazards come into play on six holes, and numerous sand bunkers have been incorporated throughout the entire course design. A Pro Am is held here every year. Jack Snyder redesigned four holes in 1984. The London Bridge East Course features narrow fairways lined by houses. The greens are medium-sized and fast. The signature hole is #10, on the London Bridge Course, a 385-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee to a fairway featuring a sand bunker in the center (located 260 yards out), then an accurate approach shot to a well-bunkered green with a pond protecting the front. Private and group lessons are provided at this facility. Walking is allowed on the West Course only.

Lake Havasu: Welcome to Lake Havasu City – America’s Home of the London Bridge! There is an ecological utopia in Arizona, and it is Lake Havasu. For travelers seeking unpredictable, rugged desert freedom, Lake Havasu City – nestled amidst craggy desert peaks on the Colorado River in northwest Arizona – represents a rare segment of quiet, jaw-dropping scenery. Admirers of the outdoors will appreciate this region’s stark beauty, embodied within the spectacular convergence of Lake Havasu’s desert ecology, 450 miles of breathtaking shoreline and sparkling waters. Lacking crowds and swarming tourists, this small town offers travelers a unique opportunity to explore the drama of a desert habitat – offering everything from hiking and jeep tours to bird watching and exploring hidden trails with Indian petroglyphs. Warm, dry air, rich animal life, and good fishing, hiking and camping attract travelers every summer.

The London Bridge: In 1962, London Bridge was falling down. Built in 1831, the bridge couldn't handle the ever-increasing flow of traffic across the Thames River. The British government decided to put the bridge up for sale, and Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, submitted the winning bid of $2,460,000. The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Reconstruction began on September 23, 1968, with a ceremony including the Lord Mayor of London, who laid the cornerstone. On October 10, 1971, the bridge was dedicated. London Bridge crosses a narrow boating channel that connects with Thompson Bay on the Arizona side of Lake Havasu. Prior to the arrival of London Bridge, the land upon which the bridge was placed was a peninsula.
