There are a few hundred golf courses in Arizona, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding one to play on any day that the mood strikes you. Still, we always want what we can't have, don't we? I remember spending days out at the LPGA tournament at Superstition Mountain when it used to be held there, and thinking, gosh -- I'd love to play this course. But I couldn't. It was a private, members only club.
Some of those members-only golf courses are looking for other opportunities to generate revenue. One way they are doing that is by opening up a limited number of tee times to outsiders -- that's you and me.
These golf courses offer tee times to the public by listing them with GolfNow.com (Buy Direct), a company that offers discounted rates form online booking in more than 40 states.
