TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course in Arizona, home to the PGA Tour’s WM Phoenix Open this week, was designed by the team of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. It opened in 1986 and was renovated in 2014, and the desert layout has been the site of the Tour event since 1987.

Quintero Golf Club. 8. Sunridge Canyon Golf Club. Constructed in 1995, SunRidge Canyon is one of the best value, premier daily-fee golf club offerings available in the area. Designer Keith Foster adopted the ‘less is more’ approach and fully utilized the canvas that Mother Nature provided.
The Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale naturally gets all the attention for hosting the Waste Management Phoenix Open, thanks to the famous Par-3 16th known as ‘The Coliseum’. Everyone loves to play where the Pros play, however right across the street is the underrated Champions Course, which is less expensive and very walkable.
A relative new-comer to the golf world due to the extreme climate and harsh landscape, there have been more than 300 courses built since the 1960s in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area.
Scottsdale is the perfect destination for the US golf break you've always dreamed of... see which courses we recommend to ensure your trip is amazing! Golf courses in Scottsdale offer desert golf at its best.
Boulders Resort & Spa. As its name would suggest, this unique resort sits in the Sonoran Desert foothills nestling among massive granite boulder formations. Quite a surreal setting for golf, with both Jay Morrish, designed championship courses offering spectacular views.
Ak-Chin Southern Dunes. Within the Ak-Chin Indian Reservation, amid uninhibited 360-degree views of Arizona’s desert expanse, the Ak-Chin Southern Dunes course is ranked in the Top-5 ‘Best Courses to Play in Arizona’ by Golf Monthly.
Another great 36-hole facility, with both courses designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and situated on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. Adjacent to each other on flat land, and therefore very walkable, the O'odham (formerly North) course has a links feel whilst the Piipaash (formerly South) course is shorter but with more water and trees.
It's hard to believe there are more than 200 golf courses, and several dozen grand golf resorts, in the greater Scottsdale area of Arizona, but it's true.
Arizona has long been one of the world’s top golf destinations, not only because of its wealth of golf courses, but also because of the weather: it’s predictably good most of the year round, and you can count on more than 300 days of sunshine annually.
Blair Howard is a freelance writer and photographer specializing in vacation and golf travel with more than 2,500 published articles. It's hard to believe there are more than 200 golf courses, and several dozen grand golf resorts, in the greater Scottsdale area of Arizona, but it's true.
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. Troon North's Pinnacle Course, set against the base of Pinnacle Peak, is classic desert target golf. Generally considered the better of the two, however, Troon North 's Monument Course is named for the monument boulder on the third hole. With tees perched high above fairways, it has a few forced carries and a lot of great vistas from the tees. Both courses feature great views as well as some spectacular homes that are set well off the course. Practice facilities are also outstanding, and there's also a short course if 36 holes isn't enough or you want a great warm-up before tackling either course.
But the jewel is the recently redone, 50-year-old Gold Course. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. (Patriot is also RTJ) and updated by Tom Lehman, the Gold really is pure gold with a smattering of strategic bunkers, water, doglegs, plenty of pines and eucalyptus trees -- and lots of memorable holes. 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. On one nine, tee shots even funnel toward the middle of generous fairways, so it's difficult to get in trouble off the tee.
Troon North's Pinnacle Course, set against the base of Pinnacle Peak, is classic desert target golf. Generally considered the better of the two, however, Troon North's Monument Course is named for the monument boulder on the third hole.
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.
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.
