The Golf Scottsdale Team
Golf Scottsdale is maintained by a small team of local golf enthusiasts who have collectively played hundreds of rounds across the Valley's courses. We're not paid by courses to write reviews—our recommendations come from genuine experience on the fairways.
Our contributors include residents who have called the Phoenix-Scottsdale area home for years and know the nuances of each season, the hidden gems that don't get the press they deserve, and which big-name courses truly live up to the hype.

Why Scottsdale?
Scottsdale has earned its reputation as one of the premier golf destinations in the world. With over 300 days of sunshine, stunning desert landscapes, and courses designed by legends like Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Weiskopf, there's something for every golfer.
From bucket-list venues like TPC Scottsdale and Troon North to hidden gems offering exceptional value, the variety is unmatched. Whether you're a scratch golfer seeking a championship challenge or a casual player looking for a relaxing round with mountain views, Scottsdale delivers.
Peak season runs from January through April when the weather is perfect and courses are in prime condition. But summer twilight rounds offer incredible value, and fall brings pleasant temperatures with smaller crowds.
