Day-by-day itinerary
- Day 1
Fly in & stretch the legs

Stadium day
- TPC Scottsdale (Stadium)18 holes· Morning
Play the home of the WM Phoenix Open and take your shot on the famous 16th. Spend the afternoon at the pool — you've earned it.

- Day 3
Pure desert
- We-Ko-Pa (Saguaro)18 holes· Morning — Cholla optional in the afternoon
We-Ko-Pa sits on tribal land with no homes on the property — just saguaros and mountain views. Saguaro is a walkable Coore & Crenshaw gem; add Cholla for a 36-hole day.
Evening: Private chef dinner at the house.
- Day 4
High desert & boulders
- Troon North (Monument or Pinnacle)18 holes· Morning
Troon North's granite boulders and elevation changes are classic North Scottsdale. Afternoon free for a spa, jeep tour or spring training game in March.

- Day 5
One more & home
- Grayhawk (Raptor)18 holes· Early tee time
An early round at Grayhawk Raptor, a Tom Fazio design, then lunch at the clubhouse and a 30-minute drive to PHX.
