Phoenix area courses

[cruzthepug]

My wife is going to Phoenix for work the end of the month and I was thinking about tagging along and getting in a few rounds while she works. What are some of the must do courses? Hidden gems? If I decide to go we'll be there the 24th thru the 27th and I'll probably try to play at least 2 rounds maybe 3. Thanks

Do a search.  Must be 20 threads on this topic already.

You didn't say how much you want to pay.  Some can be pretty expensive around here this time of year.  Here are 2 mid-tier courses (probably $60-$100)  I would recommend that you probably don't hear a lot about.

Superstition Springs in Mesa, AZ

Longbow in Mesa, AZ

They are both great courses and good value.

Not sure if they are hidden any more, but Vista Verde and Southern Dunes are two of the best courses in the area that aren't known to all tourists.

Not sure what you mean by over rated, but if you don't think Saguaro is a top 5 public course in the PHX area IMO you'd be wrong and part of a very small minority.  I like Cholla too and wouldn''t argue if you prefer it to Saguarao, but both are among the best public courses in the PHX area.  On the other heand, Kierland is not in the top 15 of the courses I've played in the area.

There are a ton of great courses to choose from.  Two courses I'd recommend are the Wigwam (3 really great courses, but the Gold Course is definitely my favorite) and the Arizona Biltmore (I prefer the Adobe over Links).

It's a little ways southeast of Phoenix (in Florence), but I liked Poston Butte.
