Taking a Scottsdale golf vacation is something every serious golfer should do at least once. Playing desert golf is a unique endeavor, and on a Scottsdale golf vacation, you can experience it in varying degrees of severity. From the mere scenic contrast of lush, green fairways against dry, brown soil to do-or-die shots that must carry cavernous arroyos and ravines, Scottsdale golf is anything but ordinary. Off the course, Scottsdale's mix of food and activities is equal parts cowboy and cosmopolitan.
