Arroyo Grille, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes ready for diners, golfers in May

Written by

Arroyo Grille at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club welcomed guests back for limited on-site dining starting on Monday, May 11. The team uses social distancing guidelines to help keep diners and employees safe. Currently, the dining room is limited to 20 seats, and the patio is limited to 30 seats. Takeout is still available too.

Like many restaurants, Arroyo Grille needed creative options due to the pandemic. Arroyo Grille offered takeout service, with all of their regular weekly specials on the takeout menu. This included the fish fry on Wednesdays and the popular prime rib special on Fridays and Saturdays. They also offered a Mother’s Day meal, complete with salad, choice of entree, side dish, and choice of cheesecake for dessert. Arroyo Grille offered this great takeout meal deal for $109 plus tax and gratuity — a great way to pamper moms on Mother’s Day!

Arroyo Grille is now open for breakfast and lunch only on Sunday-Tuesday, and until 9 p.m. for dinner on Wednesday-Saturday. Reservations are strongly suggested and can be made by calling 520-426-6832. Make a plan soon to visit Arroyo Grille, where they’re looking forward to welcoming you back!

May is also Arizona Golf Month, which means plenty of specials offered at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. The Summer Six Pack is available for just $159 per person or $149 each for Troon cardholders. The package includes six rounds of championship golf, six rounds of #miniDunes, and six beverages, along with 25 percent off in the golf shop and 20 percent off at Arroyo Grille.

Early bird specials encourage golfers to get an early start. If you play in less than four hours with a first hour tee time, you’ll receive 20 percent off lunch at Arroyo Grille. It’s a great deal all around! And the Dunes Day Double Play offer includes 36 holes of championship golf and a voucher for breakfast at Arroyo Grille, all for $159.

Let’s all stay healthy and safe out there as we support local businesses like Arroyo Grille and Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club!
