Phoenix area golf

I played Whirlwind several years ago. It was a fun desert course. LPGA Tour played there earlier this year & the conditions looked good.

Las Sendas was a little off the beaten path but a good experience and going to be a little cheaper than some of the Scottsdale spots.

Wife just told me that she wanted to go to Sedona for our anniversary in October. The hook was “and I want you to play golf”. She is obviously up to something.

We-Ko-Pa as mentioned.

The TPC courses and Troon North are both good to very good, but I am not sure I would pay the prices with the alternatives around there.

Quintero is absolutely majestic but a bit of a haul to get to. My favorite course point blank that you can play in the area and one of my favorites anywhere in the country that you can play. It doesn't get the pump that Streamsong, Sand Valley, Pinehurst, Whistling Straits, et al all get, but I would put it favorably against all but a handful of the courses on the big, well-known resort properties around the country. They just did a fairly serious renovation last year, so not sure how that's going quite yet (and if the greens are truly grown in yet).

Last year I played The Phoenician (stayed there and like that layout on the back 9), and TPC scottsdale. as many said, tpc is probably insane around tournament time in feb, i was there in july and it was just a nice course. but it was fun playing it from the tips.

prior year, Raven, Eagle Mountain, Phoenician.

We-ko-pa as mentioned multiple times, never had openings when I was there.

Where did you end up? Went in Feb for the WM but only played once while there - primarily because the greens fees were through the roof that weekend.

Going back over Father’s Day weekend. Have stadium booked on Sunday but still deciding on the Saturday round. Thinking Quintero or Troon North.

Update. I ended up playing Palm Valley 3 times as the price and conditions were great and it was only 5 Minutes from my hotel. Made a run up to cave creek to play Ranch Manana. It was tight and extremely difficult, but the views were absolutely amazing. I'll have to leave TPC on the bucket list for now but there's also a few more I want to check out but that will be for another time. I'm headed to the toledo Ohio area on Sunday for 2 weeks and I've already scoped a few out in that area. Trying to add as many as I can to my logo ball collection.
