Scottsdale. Pure Golf. Pure Sunshine.
GolfWorldGEMS
With 200 courses of every variety and a near-perfect climate
where the sun seems to always shine, it's no wonder so
many golfers consider Scottsdale, Ariz., America’s ultimate golf
destination. Add in luxurious resorts, elegant fine dining and
one-of-a-kind golf events, and selecting your next great
vacation is as easy as a “gimme.”
Yes, nobody does it better than super-chic Scottsdale,
where the Waste Management Phoenix Open is the PGA
TOUR’s most well-attended event and the new Waste
Management Scottsdale Open affords amateurs the chance
to live their own dream.
The Waste Management Scottsdale Open tees off January
13-15, two weeks prior to the Waste Management Phoenix
Open. With a two-man team format featuring three divisions,
the WMSO will be contested on Scottsdale’s terrific trio
of Troon North Golf Club, Grayhawk Golf Club and TPC
Scottsdale. For one of golf’s most exciting opportunities, visit

Looking to play more golf? Troon North has two
outstanding layouts in the Monument and the Pinnacle, which
both boast bent-grass greens. Managed by industry leader
Troon Golf, the service and course conditions at Troon North
have set the standard in Scottsdale for the past two decades.

The same could be said of TPC Scottsdale, which
features two awesome alternatives in the Stadium and
Champions courses. The Stadium, selected as one of
the top 10 public golf courses in Arizona by Golf Digest,
has it all, including the one-and-only par- 3 16th – the loudest
hole in golf. The Champions completes a solid, one-two
punch at less than half the green fee. For tee times, visit
tpc.com/tpc-scottsdale.
Another “must-play” is Legend Trail Golf Club. Built in
North Scottsdale with dramatic views of the surrounding
mountains, Legend Trail offers annual memberships and
loyalty cards, and is the home of the John Jacobs’ Golf
School & Academy. Scottsdale Golf Group, which owns
Legend Trail, recently acquired another “must-play” in
Orange Tree Golf Club, which offers similar amenities. For
