Why it matters
We-Ko-Pa's Saguaro Course (2006) is Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw's desert-walking masterpiece, built on Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation land 30 minutes east of Scottsdale. No houses are visible from the course; there are no cart paths (a Coore & Crenshaw signature); walking is the standard. Consistently /r/golf's favorite round in the Scottsdale area for everyone who values architecture over spectacle.
How to play it
Walking encouraged with caddies; carts available on demand. 30 minutes east of Scottsdale, 50 from PHX. Pair with the Cholla Course next door for a 36-hole day; the Cholla is the Scott Miller spectacle counterweight.
