Scottsdale Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Scottsdale Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We always recommend visiting Scottsdale during Australia's spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May). You'll find the weather beautifully mild then, perfect for a full round without battling the intense summer heat or the cooler, sometimes wetter, winter days. The course conditions are typically at their peak, offering firm fairways and true greens.

What kind of challenge can I expect at Scottsdale Golf Course - is it beginner-friendly or more for experienced players?

Scottsdale offers a fantastic challenge that leans towards the experienced player, but it's still enjoyable for a mid-handicapper looking to test their game. You'll encounter some clever bunkering and greens with subtle breaks that demand precision, especially on the back nine. Don't let the scenic views distract you too much - focus is key here.

What's the one thing that truly sets Scottsdale Golf Course apart from other Australian courses?

Without a doubt, it's the incredible wildlife you share the fairways with - particularly the resident kangaroos. We've played many courses, but seeing a mob of kangaroos grazing peacefully just off the green at the 7th hole is an unforgettable, uniquely Australian experience. It adds a truly wild, natural element to your round that you won't find just anywhere.

How do the green fees at Scottsdale Golf Course compare, and is it worth the investment?

Scottsdale sits comfortably in the mid-to-upper range for Australian public access courses, but we absolutely consider it a worthwhile investment for the experience. You're paying for impeccably maintained fairways, challenging holes, and those unparalleled wildlife encounters. Book online in advance for the best rates, especially if you're flexible with your tee time.

Any practical tips or local insights for someone playing Scottsdale Golf Course for the first time?

Our top tip is to arrive a bit early and spend some time on the practice putting green - those greens have more undulation than they first appear. Also, be prepared for potential wind gusts, especially on holes closer to the perimeter of the property; club selection can be tricky. Finally, bring your camera for those kangaroo sightings!
