I will be spending the 3rd and 4th week in Phoenix. What courses should I play. I already have a tee time for TPC Scottsdale on the 24th. What other courses should I try for?

I wanted to play Gold Canyon Dinosaur but it will not reopen after over seeding till the 30th and I will be coming home that day.

Assuming you are coming in October, many of the courses will be early into the overseed grow-in period. A fair warning that many courses will open before the conditions are acceptable given the prices they charge.

Please read my post about overseed conditions in this thread:
http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29799

You can find the published overseed schedule here:

I would look for courses that started their overseed in Sept for the best conditions.

Enjoy your visit.

Ocotillo in Chandler is a great Troon course. It isn't your typical arizona golf. Lots of water, little dessert.

Grayhawk will probably be in the best condition of any valley courses being that it will host the Frys.com Open 10/22-10/25. As others have stated, most courses are overseeding for winter. AZGOLF.org has a good listing of the overseeding schedules.

Kind of a long drive but one of the most unique courses I have ever seen. Apache Stronghold. I think it was lke an hour and half drive but I have never seen such a golf course, condition was pretty good but the course itself was probably built on over 1000 acres and is in the middle of nowhere on an indian reservation, they also have a casino and a small airport right across the street. I think the back tees were about 7500 yards or more. Interesting golf course to say the least.

I vote for TPC, Troon or Camelback (either course).

Don't let them talk you into playing forward tees at TPC. Play it from the back, if they have the forecaddies this time of year they'll help a lot, if you need that kind of thing. We played right after the FBR. Not only was the course perfect the view is beautiful.

    • You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.

    • Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

    • I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
