@daphnesheadcovers The best public golf in Arizona the magazines won’t tell you about.
1) Dinosaur Mountain - Gold Canyon, AZ
Every shot has a risk-reward factor. Great up, down, left, right routing. Epitome of desert golf.
2) Los Caballeros - Wickenburg, AZ
Set on a dude ranch, it’s a nice escape from Phoenix. You can play bentgress greens without joining a country club.
3) Sterling Grove Golf Club - Surprise, AZ
Brand new Jack Nicklaus course. Wide fairways, tons of grass for Arizona. You get a country club experience at a public course.
4) Elephant Rocks - Williams, AZ
A quirky alpine golf course that you can play for ~$50 in the summer.
5) Oak Creek Country Club - Sedona, AZ
Open to the public. Amazing views of Sedona’s red rocks. The dogleg design might curl you into a vortex though.
