Great question — Scottsdale is one of the best golf destinations in the U.S. and has many resort options that pair luxury accommodations with on-site or nearby championship golf. Below are the top places to consider for a golf vacation, with what makes each one a good pick and which courses/packages they’re known for.

Top picks (shortlist)

• Fairmont Scottsdale Princess — Best for access to TPC Scottsdale and big-resort amenities
  • Why: Resort-sized property with a dedicated golf concierge and packages that include credits/tee-time help for TPC Scottsdale and Grayhawk. It’s the longtime host hotel for the WM Phoenix Open. (Fairmont.com)
• Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North — Best for golfers who want Troon North
  • Why: On easy access to Troon North and often offers “golf retreat” packages with green-fee credits for Troon North. High-end service and desert-mountain setting. (fourseasons.com)

Booking tips and practical advice

• Book tee times early: Peak golf season in Scottsdale runs roughly from late fall through early spring (roughly October–April). Resorts often let you book tee times a set number of days in advance; check each resort/course policy and use their golf concierge. (Fairmont and other resorts publish specific package and tee-time windows.) (Fairmont.com)
• Look for resort golf packages: Many Scottsdale resorts offer golf credits, bundled green-fee packages, or concierge service to book the best tee times (examples: Fairmont’s “Scottsdale Golf Getaway,” Four Seasons “Troon North Golf Retreat”). These can save money and simplify logistics. (Fairmont.com)
• Consider course closures/overseeding: Overseeding/aeration typically happens in fall; check course calendars before booking. Resorts often note overseeding closures on their golf pages. (thephoenician.com)
• Rent or bring clubs: Most resorts and courses have high-quality rental clubs if you prefer to travel light; call ahead for availability. (thephoenician.com)
• If you’re attending the WM Phoenix Open (TPC Scottsdale), book hotels and tee times far in advance — hotels sell quickly during that event. (scottsdaleprincess.com)

If you tell me:

• your travel dates (or approximate month), how many players, and budget (luxury, mid-range, value), I can recommend a short list tailored to your needs with likely packages and green‑fee options (and check current availability/pricing).
