With more golf courses than any other city in the United States, Scottsdale is a golfing paradise - most of the year. There's that unfortunate little fact about being situated in the middle of the desert, sometimes making mid-summer golf a little uncomfortable. Still, golfers visiting (or living in) this part of the Valley of the Sun have over 50 courses to choose from (assuming you can get inside the gates of the private clubs). The surrounding scenery is uniquely beautiful and there are dozens more golf courses to explore in the neighboring communities, including Phoenix and Tempe.
