For several reasons, our #1 lodging choice for groups heading to Scottsdale, AZ on golf vacations is Hyatt House Scottsdale/Old Town. With pretty much all amenities that you could ask and hope for while on your customized golf trip, it really can't be beat. Here's what we love about it. No doubt, you and your group will feel the same about it as well.

I often get this question . . . "We're planning a buddies golf vacation and never been to Scottsdale - Why should we go there over other places?" A great question, and one that I enjoy answering and talking about. I enjoy it simply because I absolutely love playing golf in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area. The region is littered with great golf courses. The downfall, you simple cannot fit them all into one golf vacation!

"You're a golf addicted idiot!" Says the wife of a customer of ours, that will remain nameless, but I can say his name does start with a "Jay" . . . I mean "J" . . . Anyway, allow me to get back to teeing this one up before getting to the destination ideas . . . "You're a golf addicted idiot!"

This bucket list has been inspired by a customer of ours that has set out a personal goal for himself to play and knock off one golf course a month that is played on the PGA Tour for the next 12 months. As a result I have created a list to work off of - A Bucket List Challenge, so to speak - to play 13 fantastic PGA Tour golf courses in the USA in a 12 month period. I have arranged this list in order of the upcoming PGA Tour Schedule.

Unfortunately, the cold winter months are fast approaching. So it's a perfect time to start brainstorming some ideas for you and your buddies for the perfect "Get the Heck out of the Cold & Snow" winter golf package.

The Saguaro Course at We-Ko-Pa - a Coore & Crenshaw design - opened for play December 2006, and has not looked back as the top golf course the public can play in the state of Arizona (Golfweek Magazine).
