Golfers can shoot a round on some of the state's most highly regarded courses set amid mountains, valleys, lakes, and streams. Golf is very popular around Phoenix, so we have listed a few below for your convenience:

Wigwam Golf and Country Club
Phone: (623) 935-3811
The Gold Course is legendary, but even the Blue and Red courses are worth playing. These are traditional courses for purists who want vast expanses of green rather than cactus and boulders.
Arizona Biltmore Country Club
Phone: (602) 955-9655
The courses here are more relaxing than challenging, good to play if you're not yet up to par. Greens fees are $93 to $165 in winter and spring, $34 to $48 in summer. Reservations can be made up to a month in advance. There's also a championship 18-hole putting course.
Camelback Golf Club

Troon North Golf Club
Phone: (480) 585-5300
Just barely carved out of raw desert, that garner the most local accolades. This is the finest example of a desert course that you'll find anywhere in the state, and with five tee boxes on each hole, golfers of all levels will be thoroughly challenged. Greens fees are $240 to $275 in winter and spring, $75 to $90 in summer. Reservations are taken up to 30 days in advance.
Tournament Players Club (TPC) of Scottsdale
Phone: (480) 585-4334
The 18th hole has standing room for 40,000 spectators, but hopefully there won't be that many around the day you double bogey on this hole. The TPC's second 18, the Desert Course, is actually a municipal course, thanks to an agreement with the landowner, the Bureau of Land Management. Stadium course fees top out at $218 in winter and spring, $88 in summer. Desert Course fees are $59 in winter and spring and $43 in summer.
Kierland Golf Club
Phone: (480) 922-9283
Designed by Scott Miller and consists of three 9-hole courses that can be played in combination, is another much-talked-about local daily-fee course. It's affiliated with the Westin Kierland Resort. Greens fees are $140 to $170 in winter, $65 to $75 in summer. Book up to 30 days in advance.
ASU-Karsten Golf Course

Legacy Golf Resort

Ocotillo Golf Club
Phone: (480) 917-6660
or (888) 624-8899
Lush, rolling fairways abundantly sprinkled with mature trees, colorful flower beds, water falls and lakes come into play on nearly every hole. This superb 27-hole championship course has become one of -if not the -finest upscale daily fee facilities in the country. Even though Ocotillo's golf course and facilities exceed those of most upscale country clubs, Ocotillo is NOT a private club.
Trilogy Golf Club
Phone: (480) 988-0004
Eighteen holes of spectacular championship golf meander their way through the cleansed desert of the Queen Creek wash, following with every turn the subtle elevation changes of the area. Natural undulations and strategically placed mounding combine with Trilogy’s natural setting to create a course that is able to both challenge the accomplished player and accommodate the novice.
