You can't talk about Scottsdale without talking about golf. With over 300 days of sunshine and warm weather, beautiful scenery, and fabulous hotels, Scottsdale, Arizona is known as a preeminent vacation destination in the world for golf. There are over 50 golf courses in Scottsdale and more than 200 golf courses in the surrounding area that draw avid fans and professionals from around the country.

More than 100 golf tour professionals call the Scottsdale area home, including Tom Lehman, Paul Casey, Kirk Triplett, Billy Mayfair, Andrew Magee, and Tim Herron. Scottsdale also features some of the finest golf instructors: Golf Digest named four golf instructors in Scottsdale among its "50 Greatest Instructors," and seven Scottsdale golf instructors made the Top 100 list at Golf Magazine.

With so much to offer, it's no wonder that golfers find the Valley of the Sun irresistible. Here are just a few of the favorite Scottsdale golf experiences.

The Kierland Golf Club features 27 holes of very playable golf on three courses -- Mesquite, the Ironwood and the Acacia -- designed by Scott Miller. Emerald green fairways are etched into golden-colored desert grasses, sweeping over constantly changing elevations to flawless bentgrass greens. More than three hundred bunkers guard the way, along with lakes, dry desert washes and strands of desert trees. In the distance is craggy Pinnacle Peak. In fact, standing in the lobby of the Westin Kierland, you can actually look out the wall of glass at the ninth hole of the Acacia. The Kierland Golf Club also hosts the Golf Digest Golf
