Ahwatukee residents recently complained to city officials about the privately-owned shuttered Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Club.

The course has become a "mess of browned fairways, dying trees and drying lakes with scum floating on the surface," according to a recent article.

The neighbors say it's an eyesore, and city officials could take action later this month to prevent closed golf courses from becoming sources of blight.

The story got me thinking about eyesores.

Fellow editor Chris Coppola recently asked readers of The Scottsdale Republic to send in suggestions for that city's biggest eyesore — and the results were enlightening.

I'd like to do the same for Phoenix.

So what do you consider the city's biggest eyesore?

We'll use the same rules Chris set out for his project: The eyesore should be something that a fair number people may see.

So if you have an eyesore you think is among the worst in the city, shoot me a note (better yet, take a picture and send that, too), with as much information as you have.

Again, no calling out your neighbor's weeds or abandoned car. The idea is to identify things that more than a few people probably are wondering about.

I'll share the results. You can e-mail me at christina.leonard@arizonarepublic.com.
