Scottsdale National Golf Club

The desert's raw beauty becomes your playing partner across this stunning Sonoran landscape, where saguaro cacti stand sentinel over elevated tees and strategic bunkering carved into natural washes. Tom Fazio's routing maximizes the dramatic elevation changes and expansive mountain views, demanding precise iron play on approach shots to greens that slope away from the towering Four Peaks backdrop. The risk-reward par-5 finishing hole epitomizes desert golf at its finest—bold carries over desert scrub reward aggressive players, while conservative routes still demand pinpoint accuracy to avoid the unforgiving native terrain.
