Scottsdale vs. Palm Springs for a Golf Trip
By Anthony Trapani • Nov 6th, 2026 • Posted in Arizona Golf NewsDeciding a Scottsdale vs Palm Springs golf trip is the rare choice where neither answer is wrong — but the wrong match is easy to spot by the second morning. Both are desert, both are sunny all winter, and both will happily take peak-season money. They differ in how the days feel: Scottsdale offers a deep bench of desert courses across a big valley with real nightlife attached, while the Coachella Valley strings its golf through a tighter set of resort towns where the course, the pool and dinner sit minutes apart. We plan trips to both, so this verdict has no home team.
