SCOTTSDALE SILVERADO GOLF CLUB

The elevated desert terrain creates dramatic elevation changes that transform what could be another forgettable Sonoran layout into something genuinely memorable, with several holes playing 20-30 yards different than the yardage book suggests. Water comes into play on seven holes—unusual for Arizona desert golf—forcing carries over ponds and streams that most desert courses can only dream of incorporating. The conditioning stays surprisingly lush year-round thanks to an aggressive overseeding program that keeps the Bermuda-to-rye transition seamless through winter months.
