The rules of the game may be the same, but the golf experience here is different. Because Phoenix is surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides, it offers a panoramic sideshow that makes golfers pause on every tee. Additionally, golf is a terrific way to experience the Sonoran Desert, widely considered the most scenic, diverse and captivating desert in the world.

There are 200-plus courses in the Phoenix area. And with an average of more than 325 mostly sunny days a year, this is an outstanding sports environment. Superior course conditions and excellent customer service are trademarks earning golf courses numerous and well-deserved accolades. The National Golf Foundation describes Phoenix as “The Golf Capital of the World.” Throughout the area, both target golf and lush oasis courses are readily accessible and most courses even have more than one signature hole.

The peak season for Phoenix golf is November through April with shoulder seasons in May and September through October. Take advantage of the fantastic summer deals when golf fees, even at area championship courses, are a fraction of peak-season rates.

Add it all up and this is golf heaven. With so many exceptional courses to choose from, it's easy to book a tee time that matches any style and budget.
