Getting to grips with golf in Phoenix & Scottsdale

With more than 200 courses to choose from around the sprawling western towns of Phoenix and Scottsdale, it would be churlish to only recommend a few, yet to gain first hand knowledge of them all would delay the addition of this initially overwhelming area to our range by some years!
We have therefore split the courses into three brackets - 1-cactus, 2-cacti and 3-cacti, with corresponding price ranges. Below you will find lists of some of the courses in each category. Although this is not exhaustive so please let us know if there is a course that you have heard of or been recommended and we shall fix it up for you. We shall also be continually revising the ratings based on your returned questionnaires and any developments in Arizona.

One thing is for sure, wherever you play you will be amazed at the quality of the layout, the greenkeeping, the welcome and the service. And if you are price-conscious don't worry, you will have a great week just playing the 1-cactus courses.

Being so far from the UK and with a considerable time-difference, we have arranged for a local golf management company to act as a point of contact during your holiday - just in case you need any help or advice whilst in the area.

Don't forget that buggies (carts) are included in all Green-fees!
