One of the competitions that Scottsdale hosts, the FBR Open Golf Tournament, is the best attended event on the PGA tour. This is held at the Tournament Players Club, which also happens to be a resort community. The Phoenix Open is the largest spectator golf event on the world.

Needless to say, with all the spectators flooding the area, and all the world class golfing heroes here, there is world class shopping to go with it. There is also world class entertainment, art festivals, tip-top restaurants, bars, night clubs, art galleries, and endless recreational choices.

With warm days and comfortably cool nights, the dry climate is perfect for almost anything you choose to do. In summer, temperatures average around eighty degrees Fahrenheit and in winter they average around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. However, extremes have been recorded in both seasons. The climate is a dry one, meaning that creaking lungs and aching bones will suddenly feel younger here!
