Scottsdale is the golfing capital of the United States. Outstanding courses and perfect weather conditions twelve months a year draw an increasing number of tour players from around the world and convince them to put down roots in Arizona—Geoff Ogilvy and Aaron Baddeley from Australia and Paul Casey from England are just a few examples. Golf tourists can enjoy Scottsdale to the full as well. The Hyatt Regency nestles between palms and cacti at the foot of the McDowell range, a sacred location for the Yavapai Indians. This luxury resort offers three 9-hole loops, each with completely different features. The Lakes has a wide variety of water features—which comes as no surprise. The Dunes is reminiscent of Scottish links courses, and Arroyo has wide and generous fairways that meander picturesquely through the desert landscape. How about a ride out into the desert after a round of golf? An experienced guide is at your service.
