Are you planning to visit the Phoenix/Scottsdale region for the WM Phoenix Open, an annual party on the PGA Tour. Perhaps you were able to get tickets to see the Eagles play the Chiefs at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who will be able to attend both.
Pack your clubs and get out there, because the Valley of the Sun has many great public-access courses. We recommend these 10 top-rated courses for most of the year. You can only choose nine options for the Super Bowl and WM Phoenix Open as TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course will host the pros. But you get the idea.
Golfweek’s Best ranks courses all over the globe using a pool of over 800 course raters. The Best Courses You Can Play list, which includes public-access layouts from each state, is the most popular ranking list in the program. We started by looking at the rankings for Arizona to determine the top 10 public-access golf courses in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas. We then included courses located within a 90-minute driving distance of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This airport is about halfway between State Farm Stadium and TPC Scottsdale.
These are not your only options. You can find even more courses in Arizona by visiting the state-by-state list . You will need to be prepared to pay a premium for a tee-time during the Super Bowl or PGA Tour event. Many courses in the valley use fluctuating on demand pricing throughout the year. All courses will experience a spike of demand on the busiest week.
