Grayhawk Golf Club

Overall Ranking: #7

Grayhawk Golf Club is world renowned and one of the first public, desert golf courses built in the world.  Following shortly behind Troon North’s entrance on the desert golf world, Grayhawk built a gem in the North Scottsdale desert.  Boasting 36 holes and the best clubhouse in the Phoenix area, Grayhawk fulfills every golfer’s desires.  The course designs and terrain are very good, but depending on opinions, might not be in the top 10 in the valley.  The star is the clubhouse, practice facility and restaurants!  The course offers 4 restaurants, 2 practice facilities, numerous putting greens and landscape that rivals many 5 star resorts. Grayhawk’s location is nicely located 20-25 minutes from the Scottsdale hot spots.
