Scottsdale insiders:  I'm headed there for a little over a week in June.  Yes, I know it will be hot--I can handle it, I love teeing off at 0630, and I know I can play six times for $300, rather than once at that price at the same course if I were to go in March.

So the question is:  what are the best deals for summer golf in Phoenix/Scottsdale?  I went last summer and played Troon North (both courses) and Greyhawk (both courses).  I'm looking for good, challenging courses in good condition that can be had for a steal during the summer.  Where are the deals???

WIldfire is not a bad track, and I really like Quintero. Of course you have the TPC stadium, I know years past they have had a special were play both course and lunch for $99. Just not sure what the June rates will be.

We-Ko-Pa is $75 versus $230 in peak season and TPC Scottsdale has a $120 offer to play Champions in the morning and the Stadium in the afternoon, with lunch thrown in. That could be a long, sweaty day. Take beer!

Everything is a deal in June. :-) I would also look at Talking Stick (2 courses) plus a Top Golf and a casino for the nighttime. A short drive east of Troon North are the Rio Verde courses. I really like Tegavah and you may be able to get on at Tonto Verde which has 36 holes. (private but they sometimes allow play). Wildfire has a nice facility and is usually in great shape. Check out Moon Valley Country Club and the Pointe at Tapitio. (N Central Phoenix) A great course south of the valley is Southern Dunes but it could be 45 min to a hour S of Scottsdale)

Enjoy!

Hmm... I might be out there in mid-July. Do you think Talking Stick will still be running deals? I'd like to play that course... or maybe both of those courses. I'm a little surprised it's a half hour drive from the Talking Stick Resort Arena.

Thanks @isukgolf and @bman1313 .  The boys portion of my trip was cancelled, but I'm here with the family now.  Going to play tomorrow; choosing between Wildfire, Quintero, and Verrado.  I'm going to make some calls this am and I'll play whichever place isn't doing maintenance and gives me the best chance of finishing 36 before noon for $80 or so.

If either of y'all want to join I could push it to Thurs.

Quintero at 6:39 for $39. Stoked--I've heard great things about the course.

Quintero is a great course.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
