Looking for recommendations on courses in Scottsdale for a long guys weekend trip in early June. Would love advice for anyone who has played out there. Thanks!

If you search for it there's already a pretty good all encompassing thread on Scottsdale.

Gold canyon dinosaur mountain is another solid course a little to the east

Thank you for the recs and I found the old thread

I played Whirlwind during the Waste Management trip. Absolutely loved it.

We're doing a quick weekend trip the first weekend of May

Fri - TPC Champions/Troon Monument
Sat - Both Greyhawk courses

Looking forward to it!

Our April trip is TPC Champions, both WeKoPa courses, and Sunridge Canyon.

This. If you're going to Scottsdale to play golf and not playing one of the We Ko Pa courses than you're doing it waaayyy wrong.

Boulders course - two of them are both pretty spectacular

We tried for WeKoPa but it didn;t work out it being booked up for an event.

We settled on Greyhawk but WeKoPa was certainly our first choice.

Guess it gives a reason to go back

That seems to be the consensus from those I've talked to as well as this board

Played both Troon courses one day and then both Wekopa the next day….and cancelled our reservations somewhere else to play both Wekopa again the third day. We enjoyed the fact that there were zero houses.

We stayed there - nothing special but not horrible lodging. They have the casino - Wekopa = "we take yo money!!""

Seriously though, loved the courses and will go back.

Greyhawk and We Ko Pa are fantastic. TPC is extremely underwhelming.

Looking for help with a couple food choices for our group next month. We are staying near Shea Blvd. and North Scottsdale Road. This group is cheap so no Steak 44 or higher end spots. Looking for maybe a little nicer burger, pizza, or place with a patio/ view? I know that's a broad range and we may end up just grabbing something after the round at the course. I just dont want to go to a Hopdoddy type place every night. Would like to maybe go to Old Town on Saturday night. Thanks.

You could do the other location for Pizzeria Bianco, which is a bit closer to Scottsdale. You'll need a reservation well in advance (like call them today) as its very hot these days

Collins Bros. Chophouse, great food and reasonably priced

We just went spring break and had a great trip.

I HIGHLY recommend playing BOTH Greyhawk courses. In a trip full of amazing courses, the courses and overall experience at Greyhawk experience ranked #1 for us. Best greens of the trip too. We got paired with none other than MLB legend Chile Davis so that was a ton of fun!

Next in line I would rank we-ko-pa (either/both courses). There is a 1/2 price replay so play both same day. We stayed at we-ko-pa and had a good experience.

Next I would rank Troon north. We played monument. It was awesome, but we didn't love the bentgrass greens as much as grehawk (rye) or we-ko-pa (bermuda).

We also played Gold Canyon Dinosaur Mountain. Spectacular views and well worth the drive out there. Lots of elevated tees. I forgot which hole, but there was a 285 yd par 3 that played only 215.

Next time we will stay close to greyhawk and play there twice, and likely we-ko-pa in addition to some new ones.

In order.

Just got back. TPC Champions was our first course played. In pretty good shape. Felt like we were part of the runway with all the smaller high dollar planes landing overhead. Jill at the outside bar was fun.

To be honest it's the course I'm least looking forward to. I was making a push to play elsewhere for that round but the group won out.

Still better than being in the office though!

Yeah I was kind of limited to $200 per round in my group and it was close to where we were staying. It worked out for an arrival day round.

Your other courses will be much better.

Kilt lifters all around !!

I thought TPC Champions was great considering it's right in town and was in great condition. For the price and location being right next to airport it's a great course to kick off your trip there.

Is there a Mickelson designed course nearby?
