I hate paying several hundred for crap, which can happen in Scottsdale in winter, so I’d go for WKP

Played WKP cholla thanksgiving week, in great shape.

Either course (saguaro is the other one) are very nice. Little casino there as well, if you are so inclined.

Quintero is very nice but way north and west. They also just reopened after being closed for months to redo greens. Work colleagues just played there and were not happy with current conditions.

For the other courses mentioned near WKP, I prefer SunRidge Canyon over Eagle Mountain. The Fountain Hills Golf Club course is not worth your time.

I really enjoy both Verrado courses, but they are way out west in Buckeye.

As others have mentioned, Raven is nice, but it is not at all a desert course, if that’s what you’re looking for.

As mentioned below, Ak Chin Southern Dunes is a great track…

But about 30 minutes south of greater Phoenix.

Whirlwind and Devils claw are good as well (and again, connected to a casino, if that’s something you may be interested in).

The Talking Stick courses are trash.

Played We Ko Pa Saguaro last November. Good course. It’s a ways out there.

I’ve played both TPC courses. Champions was a lot cheaper than Stadium. Stadium was probably not “worth” it, but I like it.

Also played Papago, where ASU has their practice facility.

Troon North is also great but pricing has gotten insane. It’s not worth $300-$400

Sun Ridge Canyon is a good under the radar course. Lots of houses but fun layout. It’s tough

Troon a bit too tight if memory serves*

Conditions can be iffy. That’s the thing there. Fun track though.

Prices everywhere here are batshit nowadays.

Just bonkers even for middling tracks.

You hear me talking, hillbilly boy?

Terrific venue. Hard yes.*

I remember it as very nice. We played the older course as the new one wasn't open yet.

Also played the ASU course in Tempe which was pretty good and another one in that same area that I can't recall.

Karsten no longer exists... sadface*

SunRidge Canyon all great public tracks (or were). TPC not worth it IMO. Too many other great courses. Grayhawk fantastic, but private/resort only now?

Sunridge... greens are iffy... McDowell Mtn is ok... Dino Mtn better than both IMO*

That stretch of holes in the low area with the power lines is so bad. The rest is perfectly fine.
