Starfire Golf Club
Scottsdale, AZ — The Heritage Club at Pawleys Island, a pristine Dan Maples design, offers a magnificent Lowcountry golf experience where time seems to stand still. Built on the historic grounds of the True Blue and Midway Plantations, the course is enveloped by a dramatic array of century-old oaks draped with Spanish moss, old-growth pines, and freshwater lakes and marshes. Maples' design philosophy skillfully integrates these natural elements, particularly using trees to shape many tee shots on the front nine, demanding thoughtful placement over brute force. The back nine introduces more water, culminating in large, well-undulated Champion Bermuda greens often guarded by water, trees, or sand. Notable holes include the challenging par-3 13th, requiring an all-carry shot over water to a slender green, and the formidable par-5 18th, a true three-shot hole with water guarding the green. Ranked among America's 100 Greatest Public Courses by Golf Digest, Heritage Club is celebrated for its impeccable maintenance, friendly staff, and exceptional value, including a breakfast buffet and lunch with greens fees. It's a course that rewards strategic play and offers a truly immersive Southern plantation golf experience.

Gainey Ranch Golf Club
Scottsdale, AZ · 1.5 mi away
Donald Ross’s enduring masterpiece, Pinehurst No. 2, stands as a testament to strategic golf course design and a cornerstone of American golf history. Ross envisioned a course that would offer a fair and strategic test, seamlessly integrating with the natural Sandhills landscape rather than imposing upon it. This philosophy is evident in its wide, sandy fairways and, most famously, its iconic turtleback greens that demand precision and a deft touch. No. 2 has hosted more single golf championships than any other course in America, including multiple U.S. Opens (1999, 2005, 2014, 2024) and the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open. The dramatic finish of the 1999 U.S. Open, with Payne Stewart’s memorable putt, is etched into golf lore. Playing No. 2 is a pilgrimage, offering golfers the chance to walk in the footsteps of legends and experience a timeless challenge that consistently ranks among the world’s best courses.
