Cowboy by the campfire

Enjoy a night of songs and tales of the Old West with a real cowboy crooner, and plenty of s’mores and other campfire snacks.

Golf swing analysis

Join our top golf instructor for an experience unlike any other. Guests need only bring a six iron and a few of their best golf swings, and our instructor will do the rest. Guests can see their swing, frame by frame, next to some of the best PGA and LPGA tour stars, and participants will receive a written game plan tailored toward improvement.

Meet the pastry chef

Meet our pastry chef and learn the ins and outs of pastries at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. Guests will have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about pastry or baking.

Pinnacle Peak interpretive trails

Experience the beauty of the desert at nearby Pinnacle Peak. A guided interpretive hike starts at the base of the mountain at 10:00 am, concluding around 12:00 noon. Hikes take place Tuesday through Sunday, weather permitting. Please meet at Pinnacle Peak Park 10 minutes prior to the start time.

Photo workshop

Capture the beauty of a Four Seasons vacation with a mini photo workshop.
