Golf: WE-KO-PA Golf Club – Saguaro Course
With two award-winning golf courses set in the untouched Sonoran Desert just outside Scottsdale, Arizona,
We-Ko-Pa Golf Club is truly Arizona’s Ultimate Golf Experience. The Coore/Crenshaw designed Saguaro course is among the very best in the southwestern United States as judged by both golf media and players alike. With no homes, roads, businesses or development of any kind, at We-Ko-Pa, the Saguaro Course combines distinctive desert-golf traits with the timeless traditions of links-style design. It’s built for walking – extremely rare for the area – with greens situated near to the next tee. Hardly any dirt was moved to create Arizona’s No. 1 ranked public course, meaning the elevation changes, meandering hole design and natural bunkering reflect and preserve the ancient land on which it was built.

Golf: Troon North – Monument Course
Troon North Golf Club stands as a hallmark of the Scottsdale desert golf experience! With holes stretching through the natural ravines and foothills in the shadows of Pinnacle Peak. Giant granite boulders lie strewn across the rugged landscape of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, where Troon North Golf Club combines iconic golf
With the visual sensation of desert landscape, providing a standard unmatched in the American Southwest.
Revered as Scottsdale’s crown jewel, the challenge and special ambiance of Troon North sets the standard by which all other courses are measured. The immaculately groomed fairways, bentgrass greens and exceptional customer service create the renowned Troon Golf Experience. The Monument Course consistently ranks at the top of every golfer’s must-play list and one of the Top 100 Courses in American that you can play! -Golf Magazine.

Golf: Grayhawk – Raptor Course
The Tom Fazio-designed Raptor course offers thrilling challenges that command players’ respect through a high-stakes game of risk and reward. Stretching 7,151 yards from the back tees, the par-72 course unfolds over the gentle hills and across shaded natural arroyos found in this picturesque corner of the Sonoran Desert. Most of Raptor’s fairways are generous, and the greens are large with sweeping undulations. Misses tend to find deep greenside bunkers and grass collection areas, making the scramble to get up and down a true test of the short game.
Raptor is considered to be one of the finest daily fee golf courses in Scottsdale and is listed among the best public golf courses in Arizona by Golfweek and Golf Magazine. Raptor is one of only two Scottsdale golf courses to host a PGA TOUR event – the Frys.com Open 2007-2009. On the amateur side, the NCAA chose the Raptor course as the host site for the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships from 2021 to 2023.
