If you have never played golf here it is time to make plans and if you have you already know you will be coming back. The stark contrast of the Sanoran Desert presents a great backdrop for some of the best golf anywhere in the world. Fall is by far my favorite time of the year to travel to the Southwest, it is just beautiful at this time of year with cooler temperatures and far less crowds. It is easy to see why the Scottsdale region has become a top choice by New Englanders that enjoy golf travel each year.

Take perfect weather every day, combine it with 200 great golf courses, some of the best resort accommodations in the world, now add some of themost hospitable people anywhere in this great country, and there you have it, you’re in Scottsdale.

The airport, infrastructure and urban design of this region are well planned with growth in mind, getting around is easy.
