daily fee courses and #1 in Golfweek as well as #58 among America's

TROON NORTH PINNACLE
- Designer: Tom Weiskopf
- Course Rating/Slope: 73.4/147
"The tradition continues. When Monument at Troon North opened,
it certainly caught everyone's attention and has held it. Another
masterful Weiskopf design, built around huge boulders and striking
elevation changes. A strong resemblance to its slightly older brother,
Monument, it's obvious and certainly an asset. PINNACLE is everything
we expected and more."

GRAYHAWK RAPTOR
- Designer: Tom Fazio
- Course Rating/Slope: 71.5/121
"For those who left Talon wanting more, Grayhawk’s second
18-hole course, Raptor, continues to test the strategy and shot
selection of players of all levels. Long carries over box canyons
leave you irons in to closely guarded, tucked pins on multi-tiered
greens. The more traditional style companion to the Talon Course."

LAS SENDAS
- Designer: Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
- Course Rating/Slope: 73.8/149
 "The
flow and ambiance leads these fairways to be generous, and the greens
subtle. So if you choose to take on this Wild West course, you’d
better bring your six-gun (or your "A" game) because you’re
going to have to shoot well here. One of the most challenging public
courses in the Valley."

RAVEN SOUTH MOUNTAIN
- Designer: Gary Panks & David Graham
- Course Rating/Slope: 73.3/130
"A spectacular new golf course unlike anything else built in
the Valley during the past 20 years. Truly a unique experience. Set
against the Superstition Mountains, this south Phoenix course is the
only desert course in the valley with pine trees. The superb course
conditions reflect the excellent services of the staff. Recognized
as the #2 daily fee facility in Arizona, Raven's close proximity to
Phoenix Sky Harbor airport makes it a perfect course to play on your
first or last day in the Valley."
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB
- Designer: Bill Johnston
- Course Rating/Slope: 71.2/135
" A beautiful layout that weaves its way through rugged terrain
that borders the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and offers spectacular
views of both Lookout Mountain and Squaw Peak. An exciting golf
course for players of all skill levels as it presents the finest
characteristics of both desert golf and traditional golf course
design."
TPC STADIUM
- Designers: Tom Weiskopf & Jay Morrish

the Phoenix Open. The Stadium Course is set in the Sonoran Desert

KIERLAND
- Designer: Scott Miller
- Course Rating/Slope: 72/133
"Kierland's new 27 holes offer a great links design that fulfills
the promise of its original nine-hole layout. Each nine has it's
own unique characteristics - a links, a desert style, and a nine
with a traditional look. Excellent bunkering and use of elevation
changes. A quality job throughout."

RANCHO MANANA
- Designer: Bill Johnston
- Course Rating/Slope: 67.8/125
"An incredibly tight, true test of desert golf. Brilliant
design with elevation changes that send you down into valleys and
canyons and up into the hills as you manage your way around the
course. Great views are enhanced by the mountains, where saguaro
forests line the fairways. Be prepared for a racaus gallery of coyotes,
hawks, deer, havellina and quail."
Course review: Rancho Manana Golf Club
TALKING STICK NORTH & SOUTH
- Designer: Ben Crenshaw & Bill Coore
- Course Rating/Slope: 73.8/125
"One of the states most unique courses, a throwback to Scottish-link
design. A very walkable course, and pleasantly affordable for an
upper-end course. This 36 hole layout is located on a vast stretch
of unspoiled desert, with a rough-less design, creating unique tee
shots and approaches. South course features trees, ponds, and streams
to enhance your shot making challenge. Huge greens with subtle breaks
will test your abilities with the flat stick."

OCOTILLO 
- Designer: Ted Robinson
- Course Rating/Slope: Blue-Gold 72.2/132

be the only one you'll see all day."
