"Scottsdale courses give people something different than what they have at home," continues Jim Flick. "They see the Tournament Players Club course on TV and become aware of what can be done with natural topography. Every part of the country has its natural beauty; Scottsdale has its own distinctive look."
At its most distinct extreme, the Scottsdale look is found in target or desert golf courses. This special type of golf was pioneered in Scottsdale. Two of the most well-known desert courses in Scottsdale are found at Desert Highlands and The Boulders.
Like visitors, pros prefer Scottsdale for its ideal climate, quality and quantity of golf courses, and opportunity for top instruction. Each is available nearly every day of the year. Come January, the city adds another star to its firmament when it hosts the Phoenix Open at the TPC of Scottsdale . The stadium course, built for this event, adjoins The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort and attracts the largest gallery of any tournament on the PGA Tour. A major happening, the Phoenix Open is followed in March by the Ping LPGA Tournament, also held in Scottsdale.
