Scottsdale and the Greater Phoenix area is a relatively new destination to the world of golf, but with nearly 300 courses built since the 1960s, this part of Arizona is now regarded as one of the best golfing destinations in the US.
Surrounded by rugged desert landscape and mountain views, it’s a stunning location, and one all golfers should experience. If you’re wondering where to play, here are five golf clubs and courses we suggest you consider…
Troon North Golf Club Located in North Scottsdale and nestled in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, Troon North Golf Club is a premier desert golf facility, home to two championship courses, the Monument and Pinnacle. Set against the stunning Sonoran Desert landscape, with rugged rock formations and panoramic mountain views, the courses are known for their challenging, yet scenic layouts designed by Tom Weiskopf. With immaculate fairways, strategic bunkering, and world-class amenities, Troon North is a must-visit.
We-Ko-Pa Golf Club Situated on Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation land, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is dedicated to preserving the local environment and protects it against commercial development. The Cholla and Saguaro courses, both highly acclaimed, offer unique golfing experiences. Saguaro, designed for walking, enhances the challenging layout, seamlessly carved into the natural landscape with elevation changes and picturesque mountain views throughout the round.
TPC Scottsdale Nestled in the Sonoran Desert, TPC Scottsdale boasts two remarkable courses: the Stadium, host to the Phoenix Open, and the Champions Course. The Stadium, a classic desert-style course, is meticulously maintained to PGA TOUR standards, featuring fast greens and lush fairways. Its signature hole, the par-3 16th known as "The Coliseum," becomes the only fully enclosed hole on the PGA TOUR during tournament week with huge grandstands that make up a lively atmosphere.
Grayhawk Golf Club Grayhawk Golf Club has two distinct and high-quality courses. The Talon, designed by Graham & Parks International in 1994, showcases a true desert theme with deep box canyons on the back nine and wastelands that challenge off-target shots. In contrast, the Raptor, envisioned by Tom Fazio a year later, is often the preferred choice. It offers a more traditional golf experience with generous fairways yet presents challenges through deep greenside bunkers and strategically placed water hazards throughout the course.
South Course at Boulders Resort The South Course at Boulders Resort, is a breathtaking desert golf course that winds through dramatic rock formations, towering saguaros, and scenic foothills. Known for its challenging layout and stunning views of the surrounding Sonoran Desert, the course offers a true test of skill with rolling fairways, strategic bunkering, and elevation changes that enhance both playability and aesthetics.

"Scottsdale is perfect for golf from November through to early April, the courses are in their best condition and temperatures reach an average high of 75°F. If you’re looking for a deal, then prices drop dramatically in the summer however it does get hot in the desert! Early fall is considered the shoulder-season, but make sure you check golf course maintenance dates as much of the work happens in this period."
