Scotch, Music and Caddies – Not Your Father’s Golf Game
Scottsdale courses are putting a hip, young spin on the traditional game with cool offerings such as the Scottish Golf Experience at Kierland Golf Club. To honor Scottish immigrants who helped develop Arizona and make the game truly authentic, don rented kilts and enjoy Johnnie Walker beverages while perfecting your swing. Finish your round as bagpipes signal the end of the day and the start of the Scottish Pipes at Sunset Series, where Bagpiper Michael McClanathan creates the melodic tunes of Old World Scotland at the Dreamweaver Canyon fire pit.

If there was one course in Scottsdale deemed edgy, Grayhawk Golf Club would be it. Not only can you swing to rock music on the practice range, but the course also has featured live tunes by EastonAshe on the patio. If clothing is your thing, check out the pro shop offering the latest golf threads from PUMA and Oakley. And coming soon to a television near you, the newest commercial from Scottsdale-based domain company Go Daddy was filmed at Grayhawk Golf Club. Stay tuned to see if it is as scandalous as their Super Bowl advertisements.
Wanna play like the pros at the FBR Open, A.K.A. the “Greatest Show on Grass?” Hit from the same tees as Phil and Tiger on TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course with the Forecaddie Experience and find out what it’s like to be a TOUR player. Caddies carry your bags, offer shot selection advice, rake bunkers, read greens and much more. Plus, get the insider’s perspective of the history and heritage of golf and the TOUR. And don’t miss the plaques inside the clubhouse commemorating the top moments of the Open’s history – JB Holmes monster drive on 18 two years ago, Tiger’s “loose impediment” that took help from the fans to move and Andrew Magee’s hole-in-one on a par four, just to name a few.
