Great — Scottsdale is one of the best places in the U.S. for winter golf. Below are practical places to stay (by style), nearby courses/access, and quick booking tips for the winter golf season (typically November through April). I’ve included reputable sources so you can follow up on specific properties or packages.

Best-by-style (with golf access)

• Luxury resort + on-site or partner golf

  • Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North — resort access to Troon North courses; top service/spa after rounds. (GolfCourseHomes.com)
  • The Phoenician — large resort with on-site 9‑hole courses and extensive pools/amenities; centrally located at Camelback Mountain. (azgolfhomes.com)
  • Fairmont Scottsdale Princess — big resort near TPC Scottsdale and other premium courses; popular for group stays. (GolfCourseHomes.com)

• Classic golf resorts (great course experiences)

  • The Boulders Resort (Carefree area north of Scottsdale) — two 18‑hole courses with desert scenery and resort service. (GolfCourseHomes.com)
  • Omni Montelucia / JW Marriott Camelback Inn — good access to Camelback-area golf and Old Town Scottsdale. (GolfCourseHomes.com)

• Centrally located / Old Town options (close to many public courses)

  • Scottsdale Marriott Old Town / boutique hotels in Old Town — easy access to Talking Stick, Papago, and Grayhawk. Good if you want nightlife + short drives to multiple courses. (Axios.com)

• Vacation rentals & gated golf communities (best for multi-week stays or groups)

  • Vacation homes in Troon North, McCormick Ranch, Grayhawk, or Desert Mountain — excellent for long stays, private course access (Desert Mountain is private/semiprivate), and practice facilities. Use local vacation-rental sites or a golf-homes specialist. (GolfCourseHomes.com)

• Nearby public clubs worth proximity

  • Troon North, We‑Ko‑Pa (near Fort McDowell), TPC Scottsdale, Grayhawk — these are winter favorites and within easy driving distance of most Scottsdale hotels. Book tee times early. (18Away.com)

Practical tips for planning

• Peak season and booking: winter golf season runs roughly November–April; busiest months are December–March. Book lodging and tee times 60–90 days ahead for the best tee slots and stay‑and‑play packages. (18Away.com)
• Stay‑and‑play packages: many resorts and GolfPass/GolfNow/individual clubs offer stay‑and‑play packages that bundle rounds, cart fees, and sometimes transfers — good value if you plan multiple rounds. (GolfPass.com)
• Transportation: renting a car is recommended if you plan to play multiple courses across the Valley; some resorts provide shuttles to partner courses. (GolfCourseHomes.com)
• If you want tournament atmosphere: schedule around the WM Phoenix Open (TPC Scottsdale) in early February if you want that event — otherwise expect heavier demand and higher rates that week. (en.Wikipedia.org)

If you tell me:

• how many golfers, approximate dates/months, desired budget (economy, mid, luxury), and whether you want on‑site golf vs. driving to courses — I can suggest 3–5 specific hotels/resorts or rental listings and check current stay‑and‑play packages and rates.
