This week: Discover 10 underrated golf holes in the valley. Twilight gems, muni standouts, and desert stunners that locals love but tourists always miss.
I’ve known Cory, the founder of Hubble, since our mini-tour days over a decade ago. The guy’s been obsessed with this vision ever since.
Hubble makes junior golf tournaments easy to find, plan, and afford — all in one sleek, intuitive platform.
But this isn’t just about golf. It’s a launchpad into the $ 500 B+ global sports travel market.
Whether you’re a parent, coach, or athlete, Hubble saves you time, money, and migraines.
Skip the stress. Plan smarter.
It was 7:11 PM in Tempe, Arizona. 92°. Empty tee.
My water bottle had gone full swamp temp. But the 14th at Grass Clippings? Unreal.
Downhill. Framed by rolling hills. Slick with sunset.
Nobody talks about this hole. So I made a list.
These are the 10 most underrated golf holes in the Phoenix area.
And none of them show up in influencer reels.
🔟Grass Clippings – Hole 13 (Par 3)
📍 Tempe
Tiny. Elevated. Wind-exposed. This downhill par 3 is 145 yards but feels like threading a needle in a gust.
“Grass Clippings Rolling Hills is the purest golf hang in town. Walkable, vibes, and built for twilight.”
9️⃣Arizona Biltmore (Links) – Hole 15 (Par 3)
📍 Central Phoenix
80 feet downhill. Camelback. City skyline. And just enough wind to make you question everything.
“Tied my personal low with a 62 at the Links Course. One of those rare rounds where everything clicks and the game feels simple. Might never see another day like it, but I’ll chase it forever.”
8️⃣Aguila – Hole 6 (Par 4)
📍 South Phoenix
Links-style carry with South Mountain in the background, a public golf course hidden gem.
