Phoenix golf… what can you say? There are approximately 190 golf courses within 50 miles of downtown Phoenix. 293 courses within 150 miles. Ranging from 9 hole "executive" courses to PGA played championship courses and everything in between. Want a links course? A desert "target course"? A pine tree lined mountian course? You can have them all (and MUCH more!) in the Phoenix area.
There are numerous public, semi-private and private courses consistently ranked in the Golf Digest "Top 100" courses list. Here is a partial list of Phoenix Area golf courses.
If you are interested in living on or near a golf course, please visit our Golf Course Communities section!
Here is our Phoenix Golf news feed.
Golf Course Communities
Golf course communities abound in the Phoenix area. If you are interested in seeing golf course homes, we can set you up to receive new listings as they come on the market. We can search for homes on "Golf Course Lots" or "Golf Course Subdivisions". A golf course lot home means you’ll have a fairway (or green or tee box) in your back yard. A home listed as being in a golf course subdivision will be off the course, but within a subdivision that contains it’s own golf course. (Typically with special playing privileges for residents.)
If you’re interested in receiving these listings automatically via email, just complete our contact us and we’ll set you up. You can also search for golf course homes right here on our Phoenix Home Search page. Of course there is never a cost or obligation for these services!
The advantages of living on a golf course or in a golf course subdivision are numerous, and probably don’t need to be explained here. The only disadvantage I can think of is insurance rates for golf course homes are *slightly* higher to allow for people like me who may put the occasional golf ball through your kitchen window!

- If you're looking for a good cool-down course, a place to get in more golf before the sun sets, Scottsdale Silverado Golf Club is a good choice. This is also a great track to play that first round in the Valley of the Sun if your game's been in winter hibernation back home. Or if you simply want to lower your handicap, play Silverado several times. - Papago Golf Course is not close to one of the best municipal courses in the country. But it's a lot better than your average muni, and it's a course worth working into a Phoenix-Scottsdale vacation. Papago is an especially good bargain at twilight, and this is actually the best time to play it. There's just something about putting out under those buttes with the moon moving into the sky. - You're probably going to be surprised by how much you like the Adobe course at Arizona Biltmore Country Club in Phoenix. It's the antithesis of all the new, modern monster golf courses that are geared to bring average golfers to their knees. Instead, it lets you enjoy a leisurely round. This is a golf day where you'll actually breathe easy. - TPC Scottsdale's Desert course has just received a yearlong, $12 million facelift that both the city and the course's architect feel will only elevate the golf course's reputation as an outstanding Arizona golf play. - JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort is not your ordinary Tucson golf resort experience. With excellent dining, a world-class spa and three Arnold Palmer golf courses, it is an excellent choice for a Tucson golfing vacation. - Excellent Phoenix-Scottsdale golf courses like Grayhawk and resorts such as the Hyatt Regency at Gainey Ranch offer great deals in November and December, making early winter the best time to take an affordable Phoenix-Scottsdale golf vacation. - The biggest knock against Loews Ventana Canyon may be that it feels like a hotel rather than a getaway resort. It's much more par than birdie. And with $200-plus high season rates, you're probably going to be expecting wows. Instead, you might end up in a room with a view out onto the parking lot. - When you're booking a golf vacation, these money-saving travel tips can help you get tee times at exclusive private courses, upgrade to a better hotel room and save money on rental cars. - Spectator sports in the Phoenix-Scottsdale resort corridor used to mean one thing: Spring training baseball. Now, though, in addition to playing great golf courses like Troon North, Boulders South and Raven at Verrado, vacationing golfers are flocking to Diamondbacks, Suns and, yes, even Cardinals games. - Tucson matches a good walk and Mark Twain's good walk spoiled like no other U.S. destination. There are some 50 golf courses in and around this little big city, and hundreds of miles of hiking possibilities.
