Grayhawk Golf Club

About Grayhawk Golf Club

You'll find this Scottsdale track nestled in the heart of one of Arizona's premier golf communities, where the Sonoran Desert provides a dramatic backdrop that's quintessentially Arizona without feeling overly punitive. The routing makes excellent use of the natural desert terrain, with elevation changes that give you sweeping views of the McDowell Mountains while keeping the golf challenging but fair. What sets Grayhawk apart from many desert courses is how it balances desert beauty with playability – you get those stunning saguaro-lined fairways and rock formations without the constant threat of losing sleeves of balls to the native areas. The conditioning here consistently impresses, which explains that strong 4.6 rating from over 700 golfers who've made the trip. It's refreshing to find a public course in Scottsdale that maintains standards typically reserved for private clubs, and the fact that walking is allowed gives it bonus points in my book – too many desert courses force you into carts. At Grayhawk, you can actually experience the desert landscape at your own pace, making it feel more like golf and less like a theme park ride through the cacti.
