Three days, three rounds, three courses that represent the top of the Scottsdale market. This itinerary is built for the golfer with a long weekend and the ambition to play the courses that define the destination. TPC Scottsdale Stadium brings the PGA Tour pedigree, Grayhawk Raptor delivers Tom Fazio's Arizona contribution, and Troon North Monument provides Weiskopf's links-influenced desert masterwork.
Fly into Sky Harbor and drive 25 minutes northeast to your accommodation in north Scottsdale. The Residence Inn Scottsdale North provides all-suite rooms with kitchens at $120 to $200 per night, positioned three miles from Grayhawk and five from Troon North.
Pre-dawn hotel pickup for a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Sonoran Desert. The 45- to 75-minute flight, launching at first light and ending with a champagne toast, provides an aerial perspective on the desert terrain that changes how the golf courses look for the rest of the trip.
Morning round at Troon North's Monument Course, the course that most clearly articulates a strategic philosophy among the Scottsdale inventory. The British links influence is evident in the firm greens, the bump-and-run approach shots, and the premium on positioning over power.
Check out and return to PHX, 25 to 30 minutes south.
The north Scottsdale base places all three courses within a 20-minute drive. TPC Scottsdale and Grayhawk are roughly equal distance south and southwest; Troon North is north along Scottsdale Road. The compact triangle minimizes driving and maximizes time on the course and in the restaurants. A rental car is necessary, and the daily distances are short enough that the car doubles as a convenient shuttle between course and dinner rather than a logistical burden.
