Public, resort, or private — which fits you?
Scottsdale offers a uniquely democratic golf scene. Top-100 courses like Troon North’s Monument and Grayhawk’s Raptor are open to the public year-round. Resort courses (TPC Scottsdale, Boulders, Phoenician, Camelback) are accessible with a stay or a daily fee. The true exclusives — Scottsdale National, Whisper Rock, Estancia, Desert Mountain, and Silverleaf — remain members-only and typically require sponsorship.
If your dream is to play different courses every weekend, base yourself near Grayhawk or Troon North where 12 top courses are within a 15-minute drive. If you want the same caddies and bartenders to know your name, target DC Ranch Country Club or Desert Mountain.
