The 10 Best Golf Resorts in Scottsdale and Phoenix

By Blair Howard, About.com Guide

They say that "luxury comes natural at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona." The claim is true enough. As with all J.W. Marriott Resorts, nothing is done on a small scale. For us golfers, the main attraction must be the resort's 36-holes of championship Arizona golf. But there's more, much more: there's a signature Spa, lavish meeting space for conferences and events, hotel casitas with traditional Southwestern décor are spread throughout the resort's desert landscape. All have balconies or patios, with private pools available. The resort also boasts an extensive pool complex ideal for family vacations. All of this is located just minutes from downtown Phoenix, AZ.
