Need help choosing Phoenix course

[Bama_Rich]

Me and a friend will be in the Phoenix area playing golf Jan. 28, 29, 30. I'm scratch and he's a 4 handicap. Granted, we're expecting 6" of snow tonight and neither one of us have swung a club since October.

 

Friday - 36 @ ??

Saturday - Unlimited play at Golf Club of Estrella

Sunday - 18 at Superstition Mountain

 

My dilemma is where to play on Friday. We definitely want to get in 36 holes. The problem is, I'd really like to start the morning at Southern Dunes. Would we have time to play 18 at Southern Dunes and drive somewhere else to get in another 18? Is Scottsdale too far? Is Raven at South Mountain worth playing?

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to play 36 look at We-Ko-Pa both the Saguaro and Chollo courses. Both are great tracks. The Saquaro course is the highest rated course in AZ, that is saying something.

I'd love to. I played the Saguaro course in September and it's my new favorite course (played TPC Scottsdale Stadium course also and Saguaro blew it away!)

The problem with 36 at We-Ko-Pa is it would run me $320 + taxes for the day. That's a little too steep for this guy. If I could get an Arizona resident to play with us that day, that's a different story.

If you're serious, I may take you up on that offer.

Another option is Grayhawk - They have two courses and a great facility as well. That said, you can't go wrong with We Ko Pa.

Longbow is pretty nice as well. Check out golfnow.com or golflink.com some great deals on there.

You gotta play wekopa.

I'd be shocked if someone didnt help you out

Decided to pass on WeKoPa this time around. We're going to do 18 at Southern Dunes and finish the day with 18 at The Duke.

Followed by unlimited play at Golf Club of Estrella and then 18 at Superstition Mountain before flying home.

Thanks for all the input!
