The 10 Best Public Courses In The Phoenix/Scottsdale Area

3 hours ago

1. Troon North Golf Club, Scottsdale. Often named as the best public facility in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, Troon North Golf Club is backed up by 36 holes of wonderfully designed classic desert golf (with a little British Open influence) by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish.
2. TPC Scottsdale. Nothing against desert golf, but I'm a big fan of green grass and wide fairways, which both the recently renovated Champions Course and Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale have.
3. Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club. Any course that gets seven years of grow-in is generally going to be in great condition, which was the case at Wickenburg Ranch, designed by Bill Brownlee and Wendell Pickett.
4. We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, McDowell. With two terrific golf courses and no homes on site, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is certainly a must for anyone looking to play the best courses in the Valley.
5. Grayhawk Golf Club, Scottsdale. Another great example of 1A and 1B, the 36-hole Grayhawk Golf Club has two superb desert layouts. The Raptor Course is the one that used to host a PGA Tour event.
6. The Boulders, Carefree. The Boulders is 36 holes laid out in a setting unlike anything you're likely to find elsewhere in the world. Giant, 12-million-year-old namesake boulders -- some perched in seemingly magical and precarious pirouette poses -- dominate the Sonoran Desert landscape.
7. Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club, Maricopa. This was a top-10 course before its recent renovation, and it's that much better now that a couple of greens were modified, bunkers were renovated and the overall routing of the course improved.
8. Quintero Golf Club, Peoria. Rees Jones really hit a home run when he designed Quintero Golf Club just northwest of Phoenix. Many of the holes are isolated in valleys, surrounded by hills, which is somewhat reminiscent of another really good Jones course, Cascata near Las Vegas.
9. The Wigwam, Litchfield Park. All 54 holes at The Wigwam resort -- which include the Gold Course, Patriot Course and Heritage Course -- are parkland, not desert golf.
10. Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, Scottsdale. With 27 holes designed by Scott Miller -- the Acacia, Mesquite and Ironwood -- there's nothing about the Westin Kierland that isn't fun.
