WHERE TO PLAY
>> Grayhawk Golf Club: Opened in 1994, the 36-hole facility that was the site of the Frys.com Open for three years helped to set the standard for quality and service that marked the country-club-for-a-day experience.
>> Kierland Golf Club: The 27 holes at the Westin Kierland Resort is one of the few facilities offering the singular thrill of riding the golf version of the Segway to roll down the fairways in distinctive style.
>> Legend Trail Golf Club: Rees Jones designed a test that isn’t long at 6,845 yards, but the hazards presented by the desert and Jones’ strategic holes make it difficult to shoot a low score.
WHERE TO STAY
>> The Boulders: The casitas, villas and haciendas are spread over a property that features 36 holes that meander through a desert landscape dotted with gravity-defying rock formations that give the resort its name..
>> Fairmont Scottsdale: Attendees of the Waste Management Phoenix Open may like hanging out at the Bird’s Next, located next to the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, but the real scene is at the resort’s Stone Rose Lounge.
>> Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale: Located at the foot of iconic Pinnacle Peak, this resort is a bit away from the bustle and provides easy access to the two courses at Troon North Golf Club.
WHERE TO EAT
>> Mastro’s Steakhouse: Offering a large variety of steaks, chop and seafood, this restaurant, which also provides private dining for special events, is the perfect way to cap off a day on the links.
>> Rancho Pinot Grill: This trailblazer in the area’s slow food (think opposite of fast food) scene has meals anchored by selections like flat iron steak and diver scallops that no diner will want to rush through.
>> Zinc Bistro: This classic eatery in Kierland Commons, an upscale shopping and dining center near the Phoenix border, features Continental favorites like short ribs and roast chicken.
