Common questions about Phoenix golf

What are the best public golf courses near Phoenix?
By LooperScore, the top-rated public golf within 45 miles of downtown Phoenix is We-Ko-Pa Golf Club: Saguaro in Fort McDowell (93.0), Quintero Golf Club in Peoria (92.0) and Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club in Maricopa (90.7). The full list on this page also includes resort and semi-private courses that visiting golfers can book.
How many golf courses are within 45 miles of Phoenix?
BogeyMap publishes 81 public, resort and semi-private golf courses within 45 miles of downtown Phoenix, and 81 of them carry a LooperScore. The radius is measured in a straight line, so it can include courses across a state line. Private clubs are not counted.
Can you play private golf courses near Phoenix as a guest?
Usually only with a member. Most private clubs near Phoenix require a member to sponsor or join you. Some allow limited non-member play through a hotel stay, a stay-and-play package or off-season tee times. BogeyMap Pro lists those documented paths, and the club always has the final say.
How are golf courses near Phoenix ranked?
By LooperScore, BogeyMap's own 0-100 rating. It combines course quality signals, verified golfer ratings and editorial review of each Phoenix-area course. We never republish another publication's rankings, and a course shows a score only once the supporting evidence exists, so some courses are listed without one.
