Hey everyone Well for christmas my cousin bought me an all expenses paid trip to Phoenix for 3 days! So we are golfing 36 holes a day. We need to book as an all inclusive deal, so it will be golf and accommodations included. What i need from you sand trappers are some recommendations for places to play. They Ned to be somewhat close together and good for all skill levels. My cousin is an ok golfer and I want something of a decent challenge. Is the stadium course worth the cash? Or just the champions course? Our plan is to golf for 2 days and 36 holes each day Dates are march 1-4 I know this topic has been beat to death, but im typing thi on my phone and searching blows as my phone Internet also blows Any and all helpl is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!! PS-pretty sweet Xmas gift hey!!?????

I actually just read this post and had to create an account to reply :)

There are tons of great courses for all levels of play in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

-TPC Stadium (don't do Champions...gotta play the loudest hole in golf #16!)

-Troon North (Monument Course)

-Grayhawk (Phil M. course. I like the Raptor better than Talon)

-We Ko Pa (Challenging)

Obviously, these would be my picks for public courses. Private clubs are the way to go in this area though. You coming out in March is different than playing in November. All public courses are played from sun up to sun down....look for a five 1/2 hour round.

For the money, We Ko Pa stays in the best shape. Second is the Stadium course. Watch our for rattlesnakes and have fun!

thought i woold come back and update this thread

we ended up booking at Xona Resort and will play the Stadium Course and Greyhawk (one round each) and maybe sneek in 9 on the last day

fitting in 36 holes/day might have been tough and super exhausting (my cousin would be dead for sure!! hahaha)

March 1 couldnt come sooner!!!!

Good choices.  But it difficult to go wrong in the Scottsdale/Phoenix metro area.  Lots of great courses in the area.

On another note, does your cousin need any more family?? He could adopt me as some sort of auxiliary relative!! I could use a golf trip to someplace warm, too!! LOL...

Have a great time though... would like to hear about your experience when you get back. I have been wanting to book a trip out there for a couple years just to do something different than Myrtle!

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
