Winter is Scottsdale’s high season. Days are warm, the courses are in their best shape, and the trails are at their most comfortable. For a group of friends or family who want sun and a break from the cold, it is one of the easiest trips to plan. Here is how we would do it.
Back to the estateJanuary and February are the busiest months, and February brings the Phoenix Open. March is often the best month overall, with warm days and Spring Training games. If the group wants lower prices with good weather, look at late November or the first half of December. The best time to visit Scottsdale guide compares the seasons.
Winter is the best time for a real round of golf and a morning hike. Ask for the pool and spa to be heated for the afternoons, and the golf simulator and pickleball court for the days the group wants to stay in. For courses and booking tips, see the golf course guide. For trails, see hiking near North Scottsdale.
