Scott Miller's Cholla Course at We-Ko-Pa opened in 2001 on Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation land and immediately landed on Sports Illustrated's list of the 10 best new public courses. The Sonoran Desert routing is prototypical desert golf done right, wide enough corridors that it never feels like target golf, but enough cactus and arroyo to punish lazy shots. Every hole reads like a signature hole. Ranked #2 in Arizona behind its sister Saguaro, and #34 nationally by Golf.com.
We-Ko-Pa: Cholla Course's peak-season green fee is around $309 per round. Off-peak rates vary by season. Call the pro shop for current shoulder pricing. Cart, range balls, and caddie fees are typically separate. Estimate the full Scottsdale trip cost
