If you were not aware that Phoenix and Scottsdale are two of the nation’s biggest golf destinations, then please send us a picture of the rock you have been hiding under for the past few decades…it must be colossal. Dozens of top ranked golf courses dominate the Phoenix/Scottsdale desert landscape as harsh, barren sand juxtaposes with lush, fertile fairways in a manner that makes the eyes swim. In the words of golf amateur, Petra Yancey, “You’ll know where the fairways are,” and the contrast of famine and feast is so uniquely intoxicating it is of no surprise that many golfers consider golf in Phoenix and Scottsdale as a one-of-a-kind golf destination. Scoring well has never felt so good, especially if the achievement is punctuated with a stay at one of the many resorts and spas in the area. Here, golf is a prequel to an abundant vacation, as golfers can nurse old grievances or celebrate recent victories with a soothing massage, or they can even out that golfer’s tan at a poolside. If you need to perplex a resident of the area, pack your umbrella and bring it to a dinner party. You will entertain the audience for hours, as your foreign article of “strange design” will puzzle all who gaze upon it. The weather is pleasant and the golf superb, but the unfortunate truth about Phoenix and Scottsdale golf is that once a poor soul visits, other golf vacations will never be as spectacular.
