⛳ Round 3A short drive northwest into the Bradshaw Mountain foothills reveals one of Arizona's most underrated gems. Quintero's vast desert valley setting, near-empty fairways, and dramatic elevation make this the wildcard round of the trip.

Peak Arizona golf season. Warm sunny days of 22–26°C (72–80°F), clear skies, cool evenings, and near-zero rainfall. Perfect conditions for early morning tee times all week.
In November, Scottsdale gets roughly 10½–11 hours of daylight. Sunrise is around 6:15–6:45am and sunset between 5:20–5:35pm MST. First light from ~5:50am — plenty of time for early tee-offs. Golden hour starts around 4:30pm for stunning desert photography on the back nine.
Arizona runs on Mountain Standard Time (MST / UTC-7) year-round — the state does not observe daylight saving. In November, Scottsdale is 7 hours behind the UK (GMT). When it's 7am tee time in Arizona, it's 2pm back home.
2 hire cars for the group — 1 per 4 people, collected at Phoenix Sky Harbor Terminal 4 on arrival. All six courses are within 10–70 minutes of the Scottsdale villa. Budget £75 per person.
All 6 rounds organised through Phoenix Scottsdale Golf (Quote #51263). The $1,555 per person includes green fees, golf cart and tax. Verrado also includes unlimited golf and a $10 food voucher.
Old Town Scottsdale is minutes from your villa with hundreds of acclaimed restaurants. The villa has a full kitchen and BBQ for group nights in. Don't miss the Valley's legendary steakhouses.
Golf and accommodation are priced in USD. Using a fee-free travel card (e.g. Starling, Chase) for US spending will save on conversion charges throughout the trip. Budget uses $1.27 = £1.
UK passport holders need an approved ESTA before departure — apply at esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Allow at least 72 hours, though approval is typically near-instant. Cost is $21 per person. Valid for 2 years.
Tipping is expected everywhere in the US and is not optional. Restaurants: 18–20% of the bill. Bars: $1–2 per drink. At the golf course: $3–5 per bag to the bag drop attendant, $5–10 to the cart staff, and $20+ per person if you take a caddie. Pre-round and post-round drink servers also expect tips.
Arizona courses enforce a strict dress code. Collared shirts or mock-necks are required — no round-neck t-shirts, football shirts, or vests. Smart golf shorts or trousers only — no denim, cargo shorts or athletic wear. Soft spikes only. Check the pro shop for course-specific rules on arrival.
Even in November the desert air is extremely dry — you'll lose moisture faster than you realise. Drink water constantly on the course, not just when thirsty. Carry a large refillable bottle, apply high-SPF sunscreen (the Arizona sun is strong at elevation), and wear a hat. Most courses provide water stations at the turn.
