Well-placed mounds will provide some awkward lies in these fairways, and expect a number of bunkers to creep into play in the landing areas and around these greens. CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2007. |

|
| |
Description:
NORTH SCOTTSDALE. A masterpiece of architecture based on indigenous materials and organic forms, this Frank Lloyd Wright-designed complex rests on 600 acres of Sonoran desert at the base of the McDowell Mountains. Wright's crew constructed the site and buildings (conceived as a winter home for his architectural students and for himself) from local stone and desert sand. Now designated a National Historic Landmark, the working campus is open daily for tours; the best months to attend are October to May. "Taliesin," a nod to Wright's Welsh heritage, means "shining brow" and refers to his belief that homes should be built not on the peak of a hill but just below, so they appear to have arisen naturally from the landscape rather than crown it. Reservations requested for in-depth tours. |

Description:
SCOTTSDALE. Extremely exclusive, this course offers six different sets of tees, allowing all levels of golfers to find a comfortable challenge. Treacherous desert areas that are nearly impossible to play from line the fairways. Many of the holes are long, but if you get too aggressive and miss the fairway, you probably won't be happy; that is, if you find your ball at all. |

Description:
SCOTTSDALE. Featuring rolling terrain and changes in elevation, this challenging course tests every shot. Its mounded fairways cause uneven lies, making approach shots to well-protected greens even more difficult. With relatively little water in play, the course advises you to be concerned with cross-bunkers and natural desert areas when getting off the tees. |
