  • Scottsdale Courses

    Doing some research for a late May/Early June trip to Scottsdale. Any good value courses that may fly under the radar on a typical search? Looking to play desert style courses.

    Re: Scottsdale Courses

    so many to choose from.

    Scottsdale is the most expensive place in the area for EVERYTHING including golf, value and Scottsdale do not go together

    being end of May June you will get better rates on golf than prices are now in peak season, they will be roughly half of current fees.

    if you are willing to drive a bit try
    Poston Butte - best unknown course in the area , 14th best course in Arizona , a Troon facility and should be well under $100. I have not payed more than $60

    Gold Canyon- Dinosaur Mountain course, great views and reasonably priced.

    Johnson Ranch- haven't played it in a few years but a nice , value oriented sleeper course and should be in the $50 range

    Verrado - spectacular course and can get great pricing, as low as $70 in peak season , we played 36 with cart for $60

    Wickenburg Ranch- bent grass, great course, very reasonable

    Southern Dunes- great routing, tons of bunkers, fab service

    These are all excellent courses IMO but tend to fly under the radar a bit and wont break the bank.


    there are the usual list of high priced courses like Troon North ( a fav) We Ko Pa ( great courses and worth playing once but severely overpriced IMO) TPC Scottsdale is better post renos but wayyy overrated. Quinterro perhaps my fav course , wont be too bad in end of May-June but will still be approaching $100 US.

      I live here in the Valley. Really depends on how much you want to spend..the sky is the limit here. Marquee courses are those mentioned in the previous response. Late May, early June you should be able to get some good deals as it's HOT !!!

      Take a look at Legend Trail in N Scottsdale, one of my favourites and very recently priced, also Verde River which has some pretty awesome views and you can get some good deals.
      We Ko Pa i'd say are the top public courses in the area and fun to play but a bit of a drive out to Fountain Hills. The Boulders also has 2 very courses in North
      Scottsdale.

          Silverado GC in Scottsdale is a fun course and should be very reasonable the end of May. Quintero is almost a must and will also be low priced at that time of year. Both are easy to get to as well.

            Played it last September and it's a beautiful course but houses, grass, trees and has more water than any course in the area.

            I don't recall any desert at all.

              I am going down to Scottsdale for a conference on February 13. I decided to give myself a Valentines gift by staying one extra day for a round of golf.

              What's the one course you would recommend out of those listed in this thread? I'll take care of the rest, including finding out if they accept single bookings and whether they have decent LH rental clubs.

              Am itching to play.

              Thanks for any advice.

                There are so many great courses , I would base it on where you are staying.

                That said, If there is only one course that I had the choice to play it would be Quintero.
                Quintero Golf Club offers an award winning golf course that has been voted #1 in Arizona and has world class amenities for guests in Phoenix and Scottsdale

                  I agree with Weirfan. QUintero is my number 1 course. In my opinion, the 4 other A plus courses are We-Ko-Pa, Boulders, Troon North, and Grayhawk. There are several other fantastic courses that would cost less money-Las Sendas, Dove Valley Ranch, Wildfire, Kierland, Whirlwind, Eagle Mountain, Sundridge Canyon etc. You can't go wrong with any of the above.

                    Quintero. Well worth the trip and easy access from Scottsdale.

                      You're planning for a very hot time of year. You're call....! Quintero and Wickenberg two great tracks north west of Scottsdale. Both expensive but worth it. A sleeper is McDowell Mountain, owned by the Mickelson group and located right in Scottsdale. Reasonable......!
                      If St. Andrews is the home of golf, Askernish is it's soul......!

                        Definitely look at Longbow Golf Club in Mesa. A little cheaper than the others, but still a great facility and desert golf inside the City.

                        With the Apache helicopters taking off from the Boeing facility across the street - you'll feel like you're in the securest place in the U.S.

                        And for scenery and golf experience try We-Ko-Pa in Fort McDowell. You won't go wrong.

                            The Karsten Course at ASU in Tempe is a real bargain at that time of year. More of a parkland course (one of the last AZ courses built before acreage restrictions went in years ago), but well worth it. A couple of hackers named Mickelson and Rahm played their college golf there.
