This is a truly spectacular golf resort and should top your list of golf destination vacation ideas in Arizona. You have access to 54 championship holes on 5 different courses.

The Wigwam has been around since the 1930s and is considered an Arizona landmark. All 400 acres of this luxury golf resort are perfectly manicured and landscaped including 8,000 rose bushes!

They have over 300 rooms and besides the legendary golf course, the whole family can relax and play. There are 4 pools plus a fun 25 foot high water slide.

A few of the other amenities include the Elizabeth Arden Spa, children’s programs, fine dining restaurants, Hopi tribe Native American cultural events. The staff at The Wigwam can arrange off-site activities such as shopping trips or a Grand Canyon tour.

It gets its name from the desert backdrop of boulder rock formations and dramatic views of the Black Mountains. You will have 36 challenging holes in a beautiful desert setting.

Another top course in the Scottsdale area is SunRidge Canyon. It’s actually in the town of Fountain Hills, a few miles outside of Scottsdale. SunRidge Canyon is rated among the top 100 public courses in the nation.

The rocky terrain makes this a challenging and fun course to play. Be sure to bring a few extra balls as you are sure to lose a few. Three other public courses to consider would be the Tournament Players Club of Scottsdale, Coronado Golf Course, and Continental Golf Course.

One way to save some money while playing at some of the best Tucson courses is through Wildcat Trail Golf Vacations. They work with the golf course to get you the best prices available. Here are the courses that are part of the Wildcat Trail. Arizona National Golf Club, Canoa Hills, Canoa Ranch, Forty Niner Country Club, San Ignacio Golf Club, The Golf Club at Vistoso, Torres Blancas. Of course, you could arrange your golf vacation directly with the course rather than use a service like Wildcat Trails.

While not on the golf course, visit the town’s four historic districts that feature many old 19th-century homes. There are three nice museums, Smoki Museum, Sharlot Hall Museum, and Phippen Museum – Art of the American West. For excellent outdoor activities you can head out into the Prescott National Forest.

You can enjoy a simple scenic drive through the forest and enjoy the great nature photography opportunities. Or get a little more adventurous and explore the forest on foot, on horseback or on a mountain bike. If you plan your vacation for the week of July 4th, you can enjoy the fun of Frontier Days which features parades, fireworks and the World’s Oldest Rodeo.

Besides golf there is much to do here. You can hike up to the state’s highest waterfall, the 365-foot tall Bridal Veil Falls. Off-road four wheeling is a big attraction in the surrounding mountains. The golf course is located in Mountain Village. Designed as a modern European Alpine village, Mountain Village is a cluster of shops, restaurants, hotels, and condos situated to take full advantage of the sweeping mountain scenic views.
