Many people consider Scottsdale a sleepy little rich neighborhood near Phoenix. But it's much more than that - Scottsdale is a place every golfer must visit at least once. It's considered by many as the Palm Beach of the West!

What you'll find in Scottsdale is immaculate golf courses, hotel and resorts ranging from plush to accommodating, and some serious night-time activities ranging from the big 4 professional sports teams (Arizona Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Coyotes) to bar-hopping in downtown Scottsdale, Tempe or Phoenix, Arizona.
