Going to Phoenix, Chandler, Tuscon for two weeks the last weekend of March and into April. Not wealthy but want a challenge. Can't think of a better place to get some good input on three courses to try. Two in the Phoenix Metro area and one down by Tuscon.

I have been told for the money Palm Valley in Goodyear AZ is a very good course. Have also been told to try Ocotillo in Chandler, but frankly it looks like a lot of water. I get enough of that here in Washington, even in places it should not be on the course. Also been told that Bear Creek and Lone Tree are worth a try in Chandler. There are about 200 courses in the Phoenix area so I am really befuddled which to try out. Would love to try the Troon courses but price wise those are well above my means, and of course who wouldn't want to try the stadium course. It is booked already and pricey.
