5-day Phoenix golf trip for TAIWANESE

[Ray Huang]

Hi Golfers,

This is a hello from Taiwan.

We, party of 6, are heading to Phoenix at the end of April for 5-day golf adventure. I am wondering if there any chance to get a agent to book the decent golf courses with reasonable green fees?

Any suggestion? I really appreciate for your help.

This may help you get started in looking for the kind of courses you want to play:

You can book tee times on your own thus avoiding the cost of having to pay an agent to secure your tee times.

April green fee rates will be a bit cheaper than the winter rates… but not by much. For example, you can book a tee time (1 player for the Stadium Course) at TPC Scottsdale at the end of April for $216. This is less than the $299 it costs to play it now; but again, not by much. The trade-off for people like me who live here is that I can play it in the summer when it’s only $50, but it is also 115°F.

Good advice. Thanks a lot. Booking on the website is the only way to get the price quote? In asia, we usually can get a discounted offer from the travel agent instead of booking the tee time ourself. The agent can negotiate with the club to get a discounted group fee most of the time.

Maybe this is the different way of doing business in USA??

I've always booked myself for Phoenix, but have used middlemen in other places. Point is, I can't vouch for these places personally but they look ok. Maybe someone else can vouch for them. Just Google Arizona golf packages for more.

Best way to get discounted tee times here is through the web. The web has put most travel agents in this country out of business.
