Hey guys, newbie here looking for advice.  I'm planning a trip to Scottsdale next Jan/ Feb, at the same time as the WM Open, and I'm looking for advice on courses to play.  We'll probably play 3 days, so 4-5 rounds will be the goal.  So far, I think we've narrowed it down to Playing both Troon North and We-Ko-Pa courses, and maybe Grayhawk.  I'd like to play courses that are relatively close to TPC, since we'll be staying about 5 miles North of there.  Are there any others that you'd suggest?  I realize that we're coming at a busy time, so I'm assuming green fees will be bringing top dollar.

It's been close to 10 years since I played golf in the PHX area.....last time I was there, we played Legend Trail, Ocotillo, and Seville G&CC.

Scottsdale 2019 is booked....I was finally able to make the last tee time a few weeks ago.

Wed- Raven Golf Club

Thurs- Troon North (both courses)

Fri- Dinosaur Mountain

Sat- WM Open

Sun- Papago

I tried to get on at WeKoPa, but they were already booked up.....even though I called before their booking window even began. In any case, I'm looking forward to a few days of desert golf for my 40th birthday.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
