A walking friendly budget priced course near old town Scottsdale

[Ollieb]

Hi all

 

Im in town at the moment and am playing a few of the top courses in the area WeKoPa/Grayhawk/Troon North. However I'm looking to choose one budget course (say $40-$70) for my last day of vacation. Here is my criteria, would welcome some advice!

 

a) Please please please is there a golf course that I can walk? I know in theory all courses are walkable but having played WeKoPa and Grayhawk the distance between green to tee is quite long and everyone else is in carts so when in Rome! However I just much prefer walking if possible.

 

b) Needs to be within say 20 mins of old town Scottsdale as I need to get around quick before catching a flight home.

 

c) It doesn't need to be a 'desert style' course.

 

Having been re-reading a few threads Papago seems to be an option...and am I right in saying most of you guys favour this over Orange Tree/ASU Karsten?

 

Any other ideas gratefully welcome!

We Ko Pa Saguaro is the definition of an easy walk so if you don't think that one is walkable I am not sure what you are looking for. Maybe try Camelback Ambiente. ASU Karstwn and Orange Tree are both terrible golf courses but Orange Tree is more walkable if you must play one of those.

Ok thanks, I've only played Cholla so far, playing Saguaro in a couple of days so good to know that I can possibly dump the cart for that one.

Papago hits every requirement you posted. The course is very walkable and unlike We Ko Pa you won't be the only person out there walking.

Cool, many thanks!

Usually everyone I play with walks it, including my significant other and she's not what I'd call tough. :). The only course I walk regularly where I am the only one walking is Troon North Pinnacle but as you know I strongly prefer to walk and carry.

 

Cholla is not a walking course though.

Papago. No reason to think about ASU or Orange Tree.
