Traditional Golf In Scottsdale
If you favor a traditional golf experience in the desert this is the place. Lakes, tree lined fairways and gently rolling terrain define a Scottsdale course that has been a local favorite since 1988. Conveniently located in north central Scottsdale, Starfire Golf Club offers beautiful views of the McDowell Mountains and [...]

SunRidge Canyon Golf Club

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

SunRidge Canyon Golf Club is a one-of-a-kind desert, target style golf course with a spirit all of it's own. A Keith Foster masterpiece that utilizes nature to the fullest begins at the upper mouth of a scenic canyon and descends via golf switch-backs to the floor of SunRidge Canyon. Players are lulled into a false [...]

Eagle Mountain Golf Club

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

Eagle Mountain Golf Club is one of those great golf courses – you could play it every day and not get tired of it. I am particularly partial to courses with hills, elevation and lots of character. Eagle Mountain has all of that and more. I challenge you to find a better golf course for [...]

Camelback Golf Club

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

The Camelback Golf Club is another Scottsdale Golf Facility that, along with great golf, provides me with a shot of nostalgia whenever I get a chance to play there. A hundred years ago in 1991, I was a young go-getter, fairly new to Scottsdale and trying to make a name for myself in the Scottsdale [...]

Talking Stick Golf Club

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

On the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community just south and a bit west of Casino Arizona and the 101 Freeway lies the Talking Stick Golf Club.  Managed by Troon Golf, this 36 hole Ben Crenshaw, Bill Coore designed facility is all you could ask for in a challenging but fair test of golf in the [...]

McCormick Ranch Golf Club

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

This is a 36 hole facility that I have enjoyed immensely throughout my years in Scottsdale but it took the Mid-West golfer in me to finally appreciate the concept they have created there. It's 36 holes of traditional golf in a desert setting smack in the middle of Scottsdale's "resort row," located as it is [...]

Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club

If you and your sticks have been idle for a while and you come to Scottsdale to play some golf this winter this is a good place to tune up your game before you hit the big courses. At 6,313 yards from the tips (Par 70) you can stretch those golf muscles without having to [...]

Up in the foothills of Scottsdale's McDowell Mountains and just north of the acclaimed Westworld equestrian center, home of the Barrett Jackson Classic Car Auction and the world-renowned Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, lies the Sanctuary Golf Club, a SunCor Golf facility.  Golf course architect Randy Heckenkemper transformed the Bureau of Reclamation's storm water retention area [...]

Kierland Golf Club

Another of Scottsdale's fine courses open to the public. Designed by Scott Miller and managed by Troon Golf, this facility boasts three distinctive nine hole golf courses, named after the dominant vegetation on each, Mesquite, Ironwood and Acacia. A bit different from any other desert golf experience you will find in Scottsdale as it is [...]

Legend Trail Golf Club

Thursday, January 17, 2008

Legend Trail GC is a stunning golf oasis in the middle of the high Sonoran desert that features great conditioning, wide fairways, perfectly level, island tee boxes, bent grass greens, strategically placed bunkers and crushed granite cart paths. Small wonder it has been chosen as one of Golf Magazine’s Top 100 courses. Also rated by [...]
