Golf Outing - Wednesday, March 21, 2018
Rivaling its famous sister course in both beauty and playability, the Randy Heckenkemper-designed Champions Course offers an ideal desert golf experience. Built on the former site of TPC Scottsdale's Desert Course, the layout was completely revamped in 2007 to flow seamlessly within the naturally rugged terrain, meandering between natural ravines and through picturesque foothills. The course was crafted to balance strategy with design, so as not to favor any one type of play. Each hole can be played a multitude of ways - providing golfers of all skill levels with a challenging experience that can be significantly different each time they play.
Guest Program - Thursday, March 22, 2018
Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West is Scottsdale's only National Historic Landmark. It serves as a prime example of Wright's organic architecture in that the structures are built of the rocks and sand of the Sonoran Desert and melds to the lower McDowell Mountains. On this most poplular 90-minute signature Tour you'll be drawn closer to Frank Lloyd Wright's world visiting his private quarters and living room in addition to his drafting studio, the Music Pavilion and the Cabaret Theatre. Following the tour you will have the option to be taken to the Kierland Commons, a stlyish outdoor shopping center with upscale designer shops and restaurants located only 3 miles from the resort. Here you can spend the afternoon at your leisure. You will be provided with the resort's shuttle transportation number to call when you are ready to return or you can choose to return on your own via a taxi or Uber.
