Direct flights into Phoenix from the UK
make Scottsdale surprisingly accessible
and once there you have great
options on both accommodation
and golf fronts. The Hotel Indigo and
Hospitality Suites Resort are two stand
out options around the four and three-
star levels respectively. The Indigo is
located between Downtown Scottsdale
and its Southwest Village, affording ac-
cess to countless bars, restaurants and
leading shopping areas. Slightly further
south is the Hospitality Suites, catering
for a more budget-conscious golfer but
providing a welcoming Scottsdale base.
Choose either of these and you will be
well placed to discover some highlights
from the golfing capital of the
American South West. Longbow,
Trilogy Vistancia and the Golf Club of
Estrella are among those that present
that archetypal desert experience so
associated with Scottsdale golf.
Our final Arizona option falls outside
the Scottsdale net but is too good to
ignore. Dove Mountain, on the
northern outskirts of Tucson and close
to the Santa Catalina nature reserve,
has serious championship pedigree.
Stay at the deluxe Ritz-Carlton property
and you will be tackling the venue for
the annual Accenture Match Play event,
part of the World Golf
Championship series. Nicklaus-
designed, Dove Mountain boasts three
wonderful nine-hole loops (Saguaro,
Tortolito and Wild Burro) that are as
well presented as they are conceived.
As befits the Ritz-Carlton brand, a
world leader in deluxe hospitality, the
accommodation, onsite facilities and
service at Dove Mountain are second
to none. Complemented by the ever
dramatic backdrop created naturally by
the Arizona desert, Dove Mountain is
just one of an extraordinary collection
of first rate golf travel destinations in
this striking state.
