I'll be in Phoenix for the weekend in a couple weeks and looking for a nice course with solid desert views to play without having to spend a ridiculous amount as I'm only a few months into my golf journey and spending $200+ to shoot a 130 and chase my ball around the course doesn't seem like the best use of my money

Longbow is one I'm looking at currently that looks solid and is reasonably priced compared to others.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Look up Grass Clippings. And go play at night. The facility and setup is amazing!! And depending on tee time. Rates will vary. Overall great experience and a ton of fun.

Best value is by south mountain - check out legacy or Aguila

ETA long bow is solid if you’re willing to pay the price you’re seeing.

Raven at South Mountain has rates just over $100 on 10/31 mid day tee times. I played there 25 years ago. It was a fun course and was in good condition.

Was there two weeks ago. Most everything was closed due to overseeding so we went out to Gold Canyon and booked at Dinosaur Mountain. I think it was around $125. It was very enjoyable. Loved the elevation differences.

This Par 3 was 235yds and had probably a 120ft drop to the green




Another Par 3. I think it was 185yds

Silverado in Scottsdale is decent for the price.

I spent 3 weeks in the west valley area of Phoenix at the beginning of summer. Palm Valley Golf Glub was absolutely amazing for the price.Open and not terribly challenging but very well maintained. If you want more scenic and want to spend just a few dollars more head just north of Phoenix to Ranch Manana. It's a much tougher and tighter course but the views are breath taking. Since I was there in the "off season" I could get on at Palm Valley at 3:30 and play 18 for like $50. Check the teeoff app also. I had TPC Scotsdale on my to do list while I was there but I flew the Fiance out and we decided to tie the knot so that took my Scotsdale day away but I will be back.I will say this as far as price and course conditions Phoenix beats anything I've played in La or Ms

Palm Valley

Rancho Manana

I assume pricing is pretty steep this time of year but when I went last year I played Ak-Shin Southern Dunes and Whirlwind. Both were at or below $100 and I really enjoyed both and thought they were great value.

It was very cool man. I loved it. This place obviously isn't TPC Scottsdale so don't go expecting Augusta conditions but it was very nice. And they were starting overseeding the next day so I probably saw it close to it's worse but it was still nice.

Some advice...use your range finder on tee shots to pick your landing area and bunker carries because it's deceiving to the eye. I learned that the hard way early on. Thought a fairway bunker was around a 230 carry, which I have. Landed in the bunker. Shot the far edge and it was a 285 carry, which I DON'T have.

have gone the last 2 years and played around 6 different courses. for the price/level you're seeking 2 that have been mentioned that I agree with are:
Raven
Eagle Mountain

we stayed at the Phoenician and that course is fun to me, especially the back 9 on the foothills of that range.

I really enjoyed this course a few years back. A friend of mine and I, with our wives, took a trip to Scottsdale and he and I played it with our wives riding along.
Not long after he was diagnosed with a terminal disease and we lost him a few years ago. That trip is even more meaningful now.
RIP DM.

There’s a cool par - 18 hole that’s lighted with food trucks and I think they close at 10-11 pm
