Scottsdale National Golf Club

Scottsdale National Golf Club is a private golf facility on a large property featuring multiple courses of varying hole counts. The grounds are surrounded by protected desert land and include practice facilities and on-site lodging options for members and guests.

The site operated under a different name until being acquired in 2013 by an entrepreneur who launched a major renovation project. This ownership change marked a turning point, bringing substantial investment in infrastructure and facilities to the property.

The Mine Shaft Course brings together the surrounding desert landscape with challenging hole designs that respect the natural environment. Players experience how the layout weaves the Sonoran terrain into every swing, creating golf that honors the land itself.

Plan your visit knowing that access requires membership or an invitation, as this is a private facility with restricted entry. The property covers extensive grounds, so familiarizing yourself with the layout beforehand helps make the most of your time there.

One of the shorter courses presents golfers with a standing monetary challenge for exceptional scoring when the course is set at its most difficult. This long-standing wager remains a topic of conversation among visitors.
