Living in Scottsdale, occasionally we like to try different parts of Arizona. Just to keep our putter in so to speak. Many times our wine group will travel as a golf group and the various close locations to Phoenix and Scottsdale golf make it fun to get away. If you're coming from out of town, you could base yourself in Tucson or Phoenix and still play many of the top golf courses in the world.

Tucson, wild wooly and wonderful just two short hours drive south to another world. Tucson golf courses are exceptional and different take a look at some of these babies. Take your pick of the most famous golf resorts for your Tucson golf vacation the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador with comfort and luxury or the the famous Ventana Resort, nestled against the dramatic backdrop of Tucson's beautiful Santa Catalina foothills, with the Canyon course by Tom Fazio. or play Ventana Mountain Course.

Canada Golf Course - Greens renovated in the summer of 2000, Canada currently retains the charm and challenge of high-desert golf.


Conquistador Golf Course
This recently renovated course provides an exceptional golf experience for all skill levels. 

Pusch Ridge Golf
The nine-hole Resort Course surrounds the El Conquistador resort complex. 

Westin La Paloma Golf
Looking to play a Jack Nicklaus layout? Interested in teeing it up at the most picturesque course in Tucson? Well, you're in luck.... 

Sedona - Red Rock country is in a class all by itself. The awesome beauty of the scenery  will take your breath away. When this course was first opened in the late 80's, the views were so stupendous, they were the biggest hazard on the golf course. Now some of that has been obscured by the inevitable condos and townhouses! But it's still a great course to play. Why not plan a trip to the Sedona Golf Resort, an  exceptional challenge.  Thrilling views and shots on  a 6,646-yard, par - 71 course. 

This famous Arizona golf course is only 2 hours away from Scottsdale and just minutes away from Prescott (pronounced "Preskit" for all you out-of-towners) has many great courses and has Arizona's only links course, lined by many different types of trees, such as Cottonwoods! Antelope Hills by name, built back in the 50's, and of course, as you would expect many changes have taken place since that time. Hassayampa Inn is our very favorite place to stay! Cottonwood is close by with lots of shops, and you can explore Jerome, the old mining town.

Rio Rico Resort was one of our most pleasant experiences of late. Just 3 hours south and past Tucson on the way to Nogales. Rio Rico Resort is a totally charming resort on 56,000 acres with views that are unbelievable. And lots to do besides golf (although the golf is really a fun course), you'll find lakes, state parks, ancient Indian ruins and Tumacacori Mission, dating back to the 1700's. Besides the 18 hole golf course, there are tennis facilities, horseback riding and tours to Nogales Mexico..,and if you don't get enough exercise on the golf course, try their exercise facility.

On the western side of Arizona is the London Bridge at Lake Havasu - Yeh!  you heard me right the London Bridge, back in the late 70's some guy had the wild idea of buying the London Bridge and bringing it over and that's exactly what happened. It's like an English Village. You may lose your head on the golf courses over there, but you'll be safe from the Tower. Emerald Canyon Golf Course is so wild they sell tee shirts that read "I survived the Emerald Canyon Golf Course". got your attention yet? You can get killed on #4 as no matter where your ball may land - it will probably ricochet off the canyon walls. Maybe you should just confine your visit to fishing on the Colorado River! Parker is where the Wild West is still alive and well! We like to stay lakefront at London Bridge Resort.

Phoenix Golf continues to make news in the golfing world, with the building of more new golf courses! Read up on some these amazing golf courses below. We can book a golf package at any of the Phoenix golf courses listed below or simply book Phoenix area advance tee times.   Your choice, our pleasure!
