Things To See & Do in Paradise Valley, Arizona
There’s a reason why the Valley of the Sun—the Arizona haven comprising the metro regions of Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tempe—was named as such.
The sun shines more than 325 days a year. Which explains the large number of golfers who flock to this desert realm … and the preponderance of world-championship golf courses.

Golfing
You’ll find more than 200 golf courses in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area with challenging and dramatic holes set amid the desert landscape.
The Hermosa Inn has arrangements with many of the courses, and our concierge would be delighted to arrange preferred tee times for you or your group. Here are some of the area’s top courses.
