Top Arizona Golf Courses

Friday, October 15th, 2010

We-Ko-Pa

Travelin’ Joe on Golf.com recently rated the Phoenix / Scottsdale area as one of America’s top golf destinations.  It’s also his hometown, so he may be somewhat biased.  All the same, we were happy to see some of our favorite Arizona golf course on his list of the best of the best.  Travelin’ Joe’s list includes:

  • We-Ko-Pa’s Saguaro – Walkable greens with extra wide fairways.  Because this course is owned by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, it remains free from encroaching residential and commercial development.
  • Troon North Pinnacle – Best public course in Scottsdale.  The Monument course is also available at Troon North.
  • Grayhawk Golf Club – This course literally rocks, with class rock piped through faux-rock speakers on the fairway
  • Longbow  Golf Club – A hidden jewel located 15 miles east of the Chicago Cub’s spring training facility at HoHoKam Park.
  •
