Great walk and a cool design from C&C. Greens have some challenge, but most of the bite comes from tough tee shots (at least from back tees). Fun alternating stretches of short scoring holes followed by holes that protect par heavily.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Scottsdale, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
