Ohio Golf Journal July 2020

available for rent in Scottsdale can be a daunting task. The Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale was my home during this trip, and I could not have had a better experience. This Scottsdale institution opened its doors in 1959 and was an instant success and became a favorite of locals and Hollywood celebrities alike. The original resort closed in 2004 but came back in grand style with a complete reconstruction which was finished in 2017. Re-opened with the same name, it now has every modern amenity, beautiful suites, a majestic pool, fine dining, spa, as well as, an enticing lounge. Mountain Shadows Resort is also home to The Short Course, one of the best 18-hole par 3 courses you’ll ever play. The greens are wildly breaking at times, but subtle at others. You will need a deft touch with your putter, plus your thinking caps strapped on tight to avoid three and four putts. It’s great fun and along with the views of Camelback Mountain it makes for a terrific golfing experience. Check out www.experiencescottsdale.com to plan your next winter golf getaway to Scottsdale. With exceptional golf, exquisite dining, plus enjoyable nightlife, culture, comfortable accommodations, and glorious sunshine, I guarantee, you will have a great time! Ohio Golf Journal
