Scottsdale Golf Course is worth maxing your credit card out to play. Hi. I'm Mitch. I've worked in tier Arizona golf industry for ten years and these are my favorite golf courses in the Scottsdale area. WeCo Pah Good Club. Both courses. Can't miss some. Best public courses in Arizona in my my opinion. Papago Golf Club down in Tempe. It's Arizona State's home course so you know it's gonna be decent. The bar is fantastic. The golf course is great. It's the same designer as Torrey Pines. Third on our list is the Boulders Resort, the South course. South, I rank, is better than north. The views out there are amazing. You have the whole namesake of the boulders right off the front gate. What holes one, two, and three are fantastic. TPC Scottsdale, the Champions Worse. Kind of a hot take. A lot of people like Stadium better. I personally like Champions. I better it's a better design and the big plus is DraftKings is right out their front door. Camelback Golf Club, the Bad Worse. The reason I like Padre Over Ambiente is it makes you feel a little less in the desert. Parkland Good Course, really neat tier lined. Some people like Ambiente. I'm a Padre guy.
