Scottsdale is home to some of the finest golf courses in the country, where breathtaking desert backdrops meet world-class course design. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a casual player seeking scenic fairways, exploring the best golf courses in Scottsdale is a must:
Troon North Golf Club
Widely considered the crown jewel of desert golf, Troon North features the Monument and Pinnacle courses, both carved into the rugged landscape with dramatic elevation changes, natural ravines, and panoramic views. Impeccably maintained and visually striking, it’s a must-play for serious golfers.
Grayhawk Golf Club
Home to the Raptor and Talon courses, Grayhawk offers a lively atmosphere and professional pedigree. The Raptor course has hosted high-profile events like the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Championships, while the Talon course winds through Sonoran desert terrain with precision-demanding design.
TPC Scottsdale
Best known for its role in the PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open, TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course allows everyday golfers to walk in the footsteps of champions. The 16th hole, famed for its rowdy grandstands during tournament play, is a fan favorite.
The Boulders Golf Club
Nestled against towering granite boulder formations, The Boulders Golf Club has two courses that offer a serene and unique golf experience. With lush fairways, rugged terrain, and a deep sense of seclusion, it’s as much a nature escape as a golf outing.
We-Ko-Pa Golf Club
Located just east of Scottsdale on Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation land, We-Ko-Pa’s Cholla and Saguaro courses are completely free of residential development, offering uninterrupted desert views and a pure golf experience. It’s ideal for golfers looking to immerse themselves in the landscape.
Quintero Golf Club
Often described as a hidden gem, Quintero features immaculate conditioning and dramatic elevation changes. Designed by Rees Jones, it's a scenic, strategic course that rewards careful shot selection and course management.
Talking Stick Golf Club
Offering two distinct layouts — the O'odham (North) and Piipaash (South) courses — Talking Stick combines minimalist design with accessibility. The surrounding open terrain offers views of Camelback Mountain, and it’s a favorite for both resort guests and locals alike.
From dramatic desert vistas to PGA-caliber play, Scottsdale's golf scene is as diverse as it is unforgettable. Whether you’re planning a week of back-to-back rounds or a relaxing long weekend, these premier courses set the stage for a truly elevated golf trip.
