Arizona has quite a few fantastic Golf Resorts<\/mark><\/a>, including We-Ko-Pa, Ventana Canyon, Troon North and AK-Chin Southern Dunes, but there are plenty of terrific daily fee public courses as well should you want to plan a winter get away that doesn\u2019t crush the wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You always want to look for a good deal, but its key to find one at a solid track so you don\u2019t end up wasting a precious day on the links–and now is the time to begin planning because Phoenix temps <\/mark><\/a>have begun pushing into the 70’s and will continue north through February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a head start on that, we\u2019ve compiled a list of our 25 highest rated AZ public daily fee courses\u2014with details including a link to the course website and google maps for location and directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona native Gary Panks<\/mark><\/a> designed 5 of our Top-25, including The Talon course at Grayhawk (#4), Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia (No. 8), The Legacy Golf club (No. 12), and Raven Golf Club in Phoenix (No. 17).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first family of golf course architecture, Robert Trent Jones<\/mark><\/a>, RTJ II and Rees Jones<\/mark><\/a>, also made substantial contributions to Arizona public golf including #2 Quintero (Rees Jones), #3 Las Sendas (RTJ II), and The Oakcreek Country Club in Sedona (original Robert Trent Jones with RTJ II renovations).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Trent Jones II<\/mark><\/a> also designed Arizona National (#11) and Dove Valley Ranch (#19).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Nicklaus<\/mark><\/a> (#10–The Golf Club at Estrella) and Tom Fazio<\/mark><\/a> (#4–Raptor at Grayhawk) contributed a pair of desert masterpieces as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
