Scottsdale private options

[Bizzle80]

Booking scottsdale trip w a couple buddies end of November/early Dec and looking at some private club options. 

 

We are locked in for 36 with one of the guys being a member at Scottsdale National...but any recs between Estancia, Mirabel, Desert Mountain, Silverleaf? I am sure all are first world problems...but any order for those clubs? or are there any public access courses someone would recommend over those?

 

thx

I agree with this, but I would put Silverleaf ahead of Mirabel if you have the choice.  Im sure I have bias though.  I generally prefer Weiskopf over Fazio designs (although Fazio designed Estancia and it is better than Silverleaf).  Desert Mountain is a distant fourth IMO.  

 

**Edit  Remember Desert Mountain has 7 courses. So it matters greatly which one you are playing.

I would take Desert Mtn off the list. They are most likely going to be cart path only through December on the courses that are open.
