A Golf Paradise in the Desert
Scottsdale has come a long way since it was incorporated back in 1951 with a modest population of just around 2,000 folks.

For those looking to hit the greens while they’re in town, Golf Digest has released a guide that features the 25 best golf courses in this stunning desert city. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, there’s something for everyone. The guide showcases a mix of top-tier courses, including a renowned member of the 100 Greatest Public courses, and a few delightful hidden gems worth checking out.
One must-play course is Quintero Golf Club, which is a scenic 45-minute drive from the airport. It’s the perfect spot for both breathtaking views and a challenging round.
