Again, as I mentioned in my post about Phoenix golf courses, it would not make sense for me to try and reinvent the wheel when there are people who are experts in the field of Phoenix golf communities and have years of experience in the Phoenix/Scottsdale real estate market, who have excellent information readily available on the Web. Once again, I would rather refer you to the source so that you can hear it “straight from the horse’s mouth” in cases like this. So with that in mind, here is a list of quality websites to check out if you want more information on Phoenix golf communities:

GolfCourseRealty

The National Golf Federation has dubbed Phoenix as the “Golf Capital of the World”—not exactly a modest title, but very accurate. GolfCourseRealty.com features some good details about Phoenix golf communities, including such shining stars as Anthem Country Club, considered by many to be the premiere golf community not only in the Phoenix area, but in the entire U.S. Hey, Anthem even boasts an on-site water park, as well as rock climbing and indoor basketball in their Community Center—hard to touch that. Other highlight golf communities include Estrella Mountain Ranch as well as Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club. Here’s the link:

There are a ton of other resources on the Web that provide excellent, detailed information on Phoenix golf communities. A simple Google search will provide more information than you probably even have time to look over, but it’s always good to know that you have that type of “Google power” at your fingertips.

The Phoenix-Scottsdale area boasts a veritable “Who’s Who” of top-notch golf course designers and architects: Courses designed and developed by Weiskopf, Jones, Moorish, Fazio, Cupp, Nicklaus, Palmer, Nash, Dye, and Hills all call the Valley of the Sun their home. An extensive array of public, municipal and private equity courses are available, all with their own unique characteristics and features. Several award-winning golf courses are located in the greater Phoenix area, each one crafted to incorporate the natural beauty of the surroundings, including rolling hills and breathtaking panoramic views. For further ease of convenience, many of the golf courses are only a proverbial “stone’s throw” from Sky Harbor Airport, a gem in and of itself.

All told, the greater Phoenix area boasts over 200 golf courses. There are just as many types of course designs as there are playing styles; you’ll see everything from the traditional links style courses (you might forget that you’re not in Scotland) to courses that incorporate the interplay of lakes, creeks, and other bodies of water to make for a more challenging and stimulating round of play. But don’t think that you have to be a professional golfer to enjoy the various Phoenix golf courses that are available; there truly is a course for every single level of play that exists. So whether you are a low or high handicapper, a novice or pro, Phoenix offers you excellent golfing on every level.
