Phoenix is the best winter golf destination in the US. October through April offers perfect conditions — temperatures in the 60s and 70s, no humidity, and some of the best resort courses anywhere. Summer is 110F+ and genuinely dangerous for afternoon golf. Book Scottsdale resort tee times 30+ days ahead for January through March.
⚡ Phoenix Golf at a Glance
TPC Scottsdale — Stadium Course
Home of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The infamous par-3 16th stadium hole is worth the price of admission once.
Troon North — Pinnacle Course
Desert target golf at its best. Requires accurate iron play — miss fairways and you are in rocks and cactus.
We-Ko-Pa Golf Club — Cholla Course
Scottsdale layout with authentic desert feel. One of the best-value courses in the valley.
Papago Golf Course
Phoenix city-owned municipal course. Best value in the metro. Bentgrass greens and solid conditions.
