Troon North (Pinnacle or Monument?) - Pinnacle, although they are both very nice.
 |
| Troon North Pinnacle #10 |
Grayhawk (Raptor or Talon?) I prefer Raptor, seems to be in a better condition, and more of a desert feel on the course
Wigwam (Gold, Red or Blue?) Always go with the Gold. More distance and an overall better course.
Boulders (North or South?) I like the South. More scenic and holes adjacent to the "boulders."
Gold Canyon (Dinosaur Mountain or Sidewinder) - I much prefer Dino Mountain, with large elevation changes and views of the Phoenix area.
Superstition Mountain -- only played Lost Gold, but heard Prospector might be a little better course.
McCormick Ranch (Palm or Pine?) - Pine
Camelback Golf Club (Indian Bend or Padre?) Padre is better but there are renovating Indian Bend. (http://www.marriott.com/golf-hotels/phxcb-jw-marriott-scottsdale-camelback-inn-resort-and-spa/camelback-golf-club/5256759-HWM/course-overview.mi)
Phoenician (Desert, Canyon or Oasis?) I prefer Canyon with the holes right up against Camelback Mountain.
Talking Stick (North or South?) North is a better track, but they both have similar feel.
TPC Scottsdale (Champions or Stadium?) No experience like the Stadium Course (for big $), but I think the Champions Course is interesting and fun after the renovation. For the money, Champions. For the experience, Stadium.
Whirlwind (Cattail or Devils Claw) Devil's Claw is the better side in my opinion.
Arizona Biltmore (Links or Adobe) - Definitely the Links course.
Other courses with 36 which I have only played 18 or not played at all: Wildfire, Whisper Rock (still dreaming for this one day), Ventanna Canyon, Desert Mountain.
Great list! But you might want to try the Fountain Hills - Sonoran Golf Trail, its the best Arizona golf course and it features six spectacular desert golf courses set in Arizona's Lower Verde Valley, a lush desert environment with some of the Southwest's most unspoiled vistas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Feonica. I have played Eagle Mountain, We Ko Pa, and Sunridge Canyon, which are featured on the Sonoran Golf Trail. I really enjoyed those courses. I appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you again.
ReplyDeleteI agree Devils Claw is the better of the two but prices are outrageous. All the courses you have posted are either near the $100 mark or more. It really makes it difficult for avid golfers to go out and play weekly with those prices. I love playing new courses but at those rates ill take a step down in quality to just play.
