Recreation Oasis – Arizona Golf Destinations

Scenic national parks and the raw beauty of the desert make Arizona a unique destination for exploration and reflection, while its lively cities rich with shopping and nightlife make the Grand Canyon state an ideal vacation spot for luxury travellers.

Beyond that, family and business-friendly resorts and miles of lush professional golf courses are sure to thrill any sporting enthusiast, while nature lovers can appreciate the grandeur of the natural surroundings. Come to watch the sun sink below the red rock valleys each night, and marvel at the colossal cliffs of exposed earth from the terrace of one of Arizona’s numerous luxury golf hotels.

Where to Stay in Arizona

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess: In true Arizona style, this luxury golf hotel in the heart of Scottsdale is an oasis of decadence on a truly grand scale. Leave everything up to the Fairmont’s top-notch staff, which includes a team of golf concierges to offer suggestions and arrange tee times. Then, unwind after a day on the course in the Willow Stream Spa, which has been ranked among the top hotel spas in North America. This family-friendly establishment also offers a host of amenities for all ages to enjoy, including five swimming pools, a fitness centre, miniature golf and a children’s lagoon.

Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort: Located 45 minutes outside of downtown Phoenix, one of the country’s renowned golf hotels offers all of the charm and beauty of Arizona without the noise and bustle of the city. Stay in the John Wayne or Pat Boone suites, both named after former patrons of this historic establishment, or any of their other guest rooms with balconies overlooking the expansive champion golf course. Indulge in one of the hotel’s array of massage treatments including the Golfer’s Massage, specially designed to treat golf-specific strains and improve your swing.

What to Do in Arizona

The Grand Canyon: No trip to Arizona is complete without visiting the Grand Canyon. The 277-mile chasm of rock is an awe-inspiring national treasure revealing millennia of geological history. While the site is worth simply looking at, there are plenty of recreational activities to take part in and around the Grand Canyon, including white water rafting, hiking, running and helicopter tours among others. Within the Grand Canyon National Park, one of the oldest parks in North America, this natural phenomenon draws thousands of visitors each year.

Shopping: Take a break from the dessert heat and splurge a little with some shopping at one of Arizona’s 20 high end malls featuring everything from Banana Republic to Cartier. Or stray a little from the designer path, by stopping by one of the traditional Western trading posts selling authentic Native American crafts.
