The Best Golf Courses Near Our Arizona Vacation Rentals

Arizona is a golfer's paradise, with more than 300 golf courses across the state and some of the most iconic layouts in the American Southwest. The East Valley, where our Gilbert, Mesa, and Queen Creek vacation rentals are located, offers exceptional golfing options for players of every skill level — from championship courses to family-friendly municipal layouts.

Championship Courses

TPC Scottsdale, home of the Waste Management Phoenix Open (the most-attended golf tournament in the world), is just 30 minutes from our properties and offers two courses open to public play. We-Ko-Pa Golf Club in Fort McDowell features two stunning desert courses designed by Scott Miller and Bill Coore that regularly rank among the best public courses in Arizona. Whirlwind Golf Club in Chandler delivers 36 holes of top-tier golf with dramatic desert and mountain views.

Best Value Courses

You don't need to spend a fortune for great golf in Arizona. Longbow Golf Club in Mesa offers a challenging and beautiful layout at reasonable rates. Arizona Grand Golf Course provides 18 holes in a scenic setting near South Mountain. Many courses offer twilight rates starting in the early afternoon, cutting green fees significantly — perfect for families where golfers can hit the course while others enjoy the pool.

Family and Beginner Friendly

For families with young or beginner golfers, TopGolf in Gilbert offers a driving range experience combined with games and great food — no golf experience required. Kokopelli Golf Club in Gilbert has a well-maintained course that's welcoming to all skill levels. Many courses offer junior rates and family packages that make golf accessible for the whole group.

Golf Season in Arizona

The prime golf season runs from October through April, when temperatures are comfortable and courses are in peak condition. Summer golf is available at dramatically reduced rates — but prepare for extreme heat and tee off at sunrise. Spring training season from February through March combines great golf with baseball, making it the ultimate sports vacation from your vacation rental.

After 18 holes in the Arizona sunshine, there's nothing better than returning to your LoveYourVacationRental.com property, cold drink in hand, and sharing your best shots with the family poolside.
