2014 Spring Training Guide Presented By GolfTEC

Courses to play, places to stay, where to eat during Spring Training in Arizona

Thanks to the second-worst road record in the National League last year, your Colorado Rockies pulled up the rear in the division. With Todd Helton now lacing line drives on golf courses and Dexter Fowler, Jonathan Herrera and half of last year’s pitching staff now playing elsewhere, the team will look considerably different when players report to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick this spring. But will the results be any better once the games count in April?

A visit to Arizona this March lets you form an informed opinion—and also escape Colorado during the state’s snowiest month. The Rockies and 14 other Major League Baseball teams train within a 35-mile radius in the Phoenix/ Scottsdale area—home to more than 200 golf courses, endless hotel and dining options, and a wealth of activities.

We listed the options closest to each team’s ballpark, but nothing here is more than an hour’s drive—tops—from anything else. Check out the other teams, such as the Cubs, which have a fabulous new stadium in Mesa, or see the Rockies play one of their 13 away games. They did have a winning spring record (16-15) last year, fourth in the Cactus League and tops among National League West teams.
