was designed by Tom Fazio and is also an Audubon sanctuary, replete with shimmering wetlands. \u201cThe hospitality of<br \/>\nFour Seasons extends to the course \u2013 lots of daily fee courses don\u2019t offer complimentary bottled water and fruit anymore, but they do, along with Titleist<br \/>\nPro V1 golf balls at the driving range, the best quality range balls you can

and you can see Pikes Peak, Devils Head and Mount Evans from the green.\u201d In the winter, Budzius says, herds of elk often frequent the course. \u201cThey shy away during the warmer months, but in

says it\u2019s hard to top his current home turf, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.troonnorthgolf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Troon North Golf Club<\/a>, just minutes from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/scottsdale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s honestly two of the best desert golf courses that you&#8217;ll see here in the Southwest or anywhere in the world,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s typically beautiful desert on both sides of the holes, with huge rocks and distinct elevation changes.\u201d And though you\u2019re playing a centuries-old game, at Troon North you can expect 21st-century amenities: \u201cOur golf carts have GPS that will give you exact yardage to the pin. Or you can order off the food and beverage menu and have it delivered to your exact location.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">OFF THE GREEN: LIVE MUSIC AND DESERT HIKES<\/h2>\n<p>Thursday nights are beloved at the club\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.troonnorthgolf.com\/dynamite_grille\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dynamite Grille<\/a>, thanks to live music and delicious barbecue. \u201cThe chef smokes unbelievable brisket, and the sliders are phenomenal as well,\u201d Budzius says. The area\u2019s unique landscape also offers ample opportunity for adventure. Budzius enjoys hiking the 2,704-foot-tall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenix.gov\/parks\/trails\/locations\/camelback-mountain\/trails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Camelback Mountain<\/a>, about 40 minutes away. \u201cIn summer, be sure to go in the early morning when it\u2019s cooler, but in high season it\u2019s great all day. If you go all the way up and back, it\u2019s as good a workout as you could ever get, with beautiful rock formation views to boot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_18\"
