Which makes the prospect of selecting the Top 10 golf courses in all of Arizona perhaps TravelGolf.com's most insane mission yet. Nevertheless, here goes! At no. 1.

The Gary Player Signature Course at Westin Mission Hills Resort in Mission Viejo, Calif. is green. Exceedingly green. And once you play a few holes, you'll forgive their obsession with keeping it that way. Especially after the picture-perfect conditions lead you to your career-best score, as it does for many players of this lush course. While it's not an easy golf course, the meticulous Player design and impeccable conditioning will have you on your "A" game most the time.
