Agreed! Also, I’d suggest considering a golf package deal, which often includes accommodations and green fees.
For transportation, renting a car is the best option. Public transport is scarce, and you’ll want to explore different courses and restaurants.
I found ride-sharing services like Uber to be a great alternative to renting a car, especially if you’re staying close to the courses.

That’s a good point! I used Uber last time and it worked well. Just remember to check the app for surge pricing during busy nights.
Are there any specific courses you all would recommend for a mixed group of beginners and experienced golfers?

Definitely! I’d say consider the Continental Golf Course for beginners. It’s more forgiving and has a fun atmosphere.
For experienced players, the Phantom Horse Golf Club is incredible! Challenging layout and stunning views.

Looks like a must-visit! I’m excited to compare courses. What’s your take on the local food scene post-golf?
Scottsdale has a vibrant food scene! Make sure to hit up The Mission for great Mexican cuisine or Olive & Ivy for something a bit more upscale.
You can’t forget to try some local craft beers after a round! The area’s breweries have some great options.
Definitely! Enjoying local brews is a perfect way to unwind after a long day on the course.
Just to add a humorous twist, don’t forget your sunscreen or you might end up looking like a lobster after the game!
So true! A sunburn could ruin the trip! Reflecting on past experiences, I’ve learned the hard way to always be prepared.
Planning a golf trip to Scottsdale sounds great! You’ll want to bring a good set of clubs, but don’t stress if you don’t have any—most courses offer rentals. Also, make sure to check the course’s website for any specific gear recommendations.
I totally agree! I rented clubs last time I was in Scottsdale. They had great quality options, which was perfect for a beginner like me. Just remember, a decent putter makes all the difference!
What about shoes? Should I bring my own or rent those too? I’ve seen mixed opinions on that.
Great question! I prefer to bring my own shoes for comfort and fit, especially if you’re playing multiple rounds. Just make sure they’re spikeless for the courses in Scottsdale!
Pro tip: Don’t forget to bring a good sunscreen! The sun can be intense out there, and you don’t want to end up with a nasty burn ruining your trip.
Sounds like you all know what you’re talking about! I’ll be a beginner, which courses would be best for me to start with?

For beginners, I recommend courses like Talking Stick or Topgolf—they’re more forgiving and beginner-friendly. You’ll feel less pressure there!
