Summer in Scottsdale means three things: blazing heat, wide-open tee sheets, and unbeatable golf deals. If you're willing to brave the triple digits (or plan your rounds strategically), you can play top-tier courses for a fraction of the price you'd pay in peak season.

Here’s where to find the best summer golf discounts in Scottsdale, plus insider tips for staying cool, safe, and well-fed during those sizzling rounds.

Quick Answer: Best Summer Golf Deals in Scottsdale

The best summer deals come from early tee times, twilight rates, and hot-weather promos at high-end courses like Troon North, We-Ko-Pa, and Grayhawk. Book direct or through sites like TeeOff or GolfNow and aim for June to early September.

Why Summer Golf in Scottsdale Is So Cheap

While winter draws snowbirds and peak pricing, summer flips the script:

  • 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.

How to Find the Best Summer Golf Rates

Use Tee Time Aggregators

  • Compared with booking directly, sometimes you’ll get a better rate or perks.

Sign Up for Course Newsletters

  • Book the earliest or latest tee times (before 8 AM or after 3 PM)
  • Bring electrolytes, sunscreen, and a cooling towel
  • Ride, don’t walk
  • Take breaks in the shade or cart
  • Know when to call it, safety first
