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???

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 is a great course.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
