Question:
Looking for fairly challenging courses in these areas that I can golf for less than $70 a round in July of 2003. Hopefully the time of year will keep greens fees down in the desert. Any suggestions?
Golf in Phx is cheap in the summer due to it being SO FRIGGING HOT. I played 500 Club, (pretty easy layout), on a weekday and was the 14th golfer on the course. Apparently there were 13 other people as desperate as me, to play in this godawful heat. If in Phx, pick up the Thursday edition of the Arizona Republic, sports section. There are numerous coupons and adds. Don’t overlook Prescott, (kind of on the way to Sedona from Phx). There are some good courses there as well. Tucson, south of Phx, has some great venues as well. I played 27 holes yesterday and drank 3 liters of water and 2 – 32oz jugs of Gatorade. Hydrate or die. — Golfing in Arizona.

I’ve visited Sedona a few times and just got back from there. I also played Los Caballaros (great track) in Wickenburg, AZ. Deer crossing the fairways and practice range… In Sedona there are 2 courses… Sedona Golf Resort and Oak Valley CC. Both are outstanding tracks, very well maintained. Each round was about $80.pp including cart. 2 executive tracks. At Sedona Resort, there’s a 623yd par 5 uphill that busts your butt needing 3 outstanding shots… Both tracks are worthy tests from the Blues. Sedona has a 10under index for the blues. In Phoenix, there are many quality tracks for under $70 during the summer… G

Just got back from Phoenix. Grayhawk is $50 after 9 am … $75 before. Worth every nickel.. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Talking Stick North. It was about $50 when I played it in June. It’s cheaper and better than the big name Scottsdale courses. I did like Troon North before they surrounded it with houses, but now I’d give the nod to Talking Stick. Another option is to take a drive out to Globe and play Apache Stronghold. They had a great "stay and play" deal (the course is located next to a casino) this summer, something like $79 for a room, breakfast, green fees and cart. — John Looking for fairly challenging courses in these areas that I can golf for less than $70 a round in July of 2003.

Hey guys, You will have absolutley no problem finding inexpensive golf that time of year. Keep in mind it will be very hot..i have never drank as much water. I have played out in phoenix and palm springs the last few summers. There will be many, many specials. Go to any local golf store or get the local newspapers for coupons.. And check the web sites for each course. A few years back, I got a deal for Greyhawk…four players for $100. And i played TPC Scottsdale real cheap. Don’t rmember the price, but it was well under $75. There are some RSG’ers who live in the area and i am sure when it comes closer to the time, they could give you the latest "scoop" on current deals I love desert golf. Even though it is almost a year away, i wish you well for a great time and planning it will be half the fun. eric
