tl;dr
Now I have a situation I'm hoping some of you that have been here longer may be able to help me with.....my wife is a school teacher at the same school my kids go to. Over next years fall break in mid October, they're making the drive to Disneyland. Because I'll have a big empty house, it looks like 7 of my golfing buddies from NC are going to come out to visit. It'll be partly a golf trip, but mainly just a hang around the pool and drink/catch up trip.
Since this will probably be a couple weeks into October, I'm guessing you see where my problem is....overseeding. Unfortunately the schedule isn't flexible so this is when it has to be. I don't really want to wait till they get here to start looking for courses to play. How far in advance do courses post when they'll be closed for overseeding? Also, is there a site that I can go to that shows the overseeding schedule for all the courses in the area, or is it a matter of checking with each one I may be interested in?
We're not going to be looking to spend big money on courses. Quite the opposite actually. I'll be looking for the best valued courses in the "cheaper" category. We used to go to Myrtle Beach or Pinehurst each year, but they've decided they're willing to fly out here this year. Since they're having to spend 3-400 on airfare, I don't want to kill them with high end courses. I went back to last September/October in this thread and read through looking for names of courses to check out in this area(thanks tuq and durango). I put together a list of recommendations, but anything that jumps in your head that might work for me, feel free to let me know. I want to show them some decent AZ golf, but am not sure how realistic it is that time of year.
Cliffs:
-friends coming into town from NC in October
-need overseeding schedule
-need good value courses
-need Durango's friends and all their hookups
