There are about 200 golf courses in the greater Phoenix area. You don't have to pay $200 for a round if you don't want to.
Here are my picks for best golf courses for the money. You won't have to get a second mortgage to play! They might not be the courses that the celebrities play, but you'll enjoy yourself.
Note: All these courses charge between $40 and $80 during the November/December period. Prices will be higher in the winter, and lower in the summer. Call to inquire about course maintenance schedule, especially in November.
Prices subject to change without notice.
