General Questions
There are over 370 golf courses in Arizona. The cities of Scottsdale and Phoenix are home to most golf courses, as well as the most spectacular ones. Peak golf season in the state is from January to April, but players can still find their way to the fairways during the hotter summer months. Most days are dry and sunny, with cooler evenings. The following are some of the best golf courses to play in Arizona:
- The Stadium Course: This golf course is famous for its dramatic features, including penal hazards and steep slopes. In his autobiography, Pete Dye wrote that the "featureless, barren acreage" was the "worst piece of land we ever started with" when designing the Stadium. The par-5 16th hole, known as San Andreas, features a deep greenside bunker that Dye said may be "the deepest greenside bunker this side of Mars." The Stadium has a design that favors no particular style of play, resulting in a truly balanced layout, and can be found at TPC Scottsdale.
- The Faldo Course: Resembling a sand belt golf course from Australia with expansive fairways, large greens, and over 100 bunkers, this is a course that is not about forced carries or target challenges. Four sets of tee markers and a few hybrid configurations ensure that professional and ordinary golfers can find a properly challenging distance between 5,245 yards and 6,846 yards. With its gaping landing areas, the Faldo course is fun and playable. It offers players many options on tee shots and approach shots into greens that are angled from the fairways. The golf course is part of the Wildfire Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.
- The Palmer Course: Located just northeast of the city of Phoenix, this picturesque golf course was designed by one of the most famed and praised golfers to ever play the game. The Palmer is a par 72 layout that opened in 1997, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape at every hole. The expansive fairways allow the golfer to remain in play even if they tend toward the occasional errant shot. With scenic flashed bunkering and curvy putting greens that emphasize what Arnold Palmer courses are most famous for, golfers can expect challenge and excitement. The golf course is also part of the Wildfire Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.
- The Saguaro Course: The Saguaro Course at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club combines distinctive desert-golf features with the timeless traditions of links-style design. It's built for walking, which is extremely rare for the area, with greens situated near the next tee. The course follows the natural movement of the land, and the playing corridors are wider when compared to traditional desert design. The Saguaro course was designed by world-renowned architect duo Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and ranked number one when it comes to public golf courses in Arizona. It can be played year-round and was built in 2006.
Naturally, there are numerous other notable and unique golf courses in Arizona where you can enjoy a round or two with your buddies. Other golf courses you may want to check out of you're in the area are:
- The Cholla Course
- The Pinnacle Course
- The Monument Course
- The O'odham Course
