Phoenix/Sedona

Winner here. Been to AZ numerous times during the winter. Tons of things to do there, and this is one of many.
Been to AZ numerous times in January/February. It's tons of fun. Get on the AZ scenic drives website and pick any of them; they're all good! Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona is a winner. Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon is awesome. The Grand Canyon in winter is gorgeous and well-worth the drive. Some of the best Sedona red-rock views can be had from the airport atop the plateau. There are several scenic drives in and around Sedona. Pink jeep tour is worth the time/money. If you don't do a jeep tour, take time to hit the hiking trails.
Evenings can be cold, getting down into the 20s, so pack accordingly.
If including the Phoenix area and renting an AWD vehicle, do the Apache Trail Road! It's awesome...especially during a thunderstorm! The Santan Brewery in Chandler has an amazing bacon burger (bacon in the patty) and really good fries!

If you’re coming from the Midwest, you may have zero desire to play in the snow, but Flagstaff is an option if you are at all interested in skiing/snowboarding.

Arizona Snowbowl Ski Resort - Where Arizona Skis
Ski resort home to 260 inches of average snowfall, 2,300 ft. vertical drop & the largest beginner terrain in the Southwest – Snowbowl is Where Arizona Skis.
Barrett/Jackson likely doing a car auction during your time there. Worth a visit if you like rare and exotic cars.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West is in Scottsdale near the site of the WM tourney. If you're into architecture, or history, it's an interesting tour.
And, you have to drive the Apache Trail Road in an AWD if you're renting one! It's well-worth the time.
Santan Brewery in Chandler is a great stop for good brews and a difficult-to-beat bacon burger with thin-cut fries.
And if your wife wants to shop, check out the Chandler Fashion Mall.

Lots of National Parks/Monuments in the area:
Sunset Crater - walk in lava fields and also ruins
Walnut Canyon
Meteor Crater
Riordan Mansion in Flagstaff is neat to tour.
Winslow AZ - 'Standin on the Corner' from iconic Eagles song. Also excellent eats at Turquoise Room in LA Posada hotel.

Definitely! Most of the courses have rental clubs, and there are actually companies out there that allow you to more specifically choose the clubs you want to rent and will have them ready at the course for you.
That's too bad..... fabulous course.Don't go chasing balls into the desert. We had a very effective visual reminder of this when we went golfing at Cabo del Sol in Cabo. We were heading to the driving range to warm up and there was a dead rattler right on the cart path.
On a side note I am disappointed to learn that what was the Ocean course at Cabo del Sol is now called the Cove Club course and is exclusive to members.The last four holes on that course are right on the ocean and an amazing experience.
Anyone been to Antelope Canton on the Navajo Indian reservation before? The wife REALLY wants to go but I’m not completely sold on it yet.
I've been there a couple of times. Really beautiful if you're into rock formations. Some of the tour groups can be pricey though.
Definitely true. The Upper Antelope Canyon is about $100 per person and lower is about $50 per person for a tour. Plus they seem to book way in advance since there's only a handful of tour companies allowed. We ended up booking the lower canyon due to price and availability.
