Why Summer Golf in Scottsdale Is So Cheap

Demand drops, so courses slash rates to fill tee sheets
High-end resort courses offer deep discounts you won’t find any other time
Early morning and twilight rounds are cooler and often under $100

You’re trading 70-degree air for 105, but if you’re smart, the savings are worth it.
