Scottsdale National (The Other Course)
Quirky, fun, and impeccably maintained — golf entertainment at its finest
About the Course
If The Mine Shaft represents traditional golf exclusivity, The Other Course at Scottsdale National is its rebellious sibling—a deliberately unconventional layout designed purely for fun and entertainment. Bob Parsons commissioned this course to be different: think 23 holes instead of 18, a massive double green, holes designed for gambling games, and a cadence that encourages match play and friendly competition. The conditioning rivals any course in Arizona, with manicured fairways and pristine greens, but the atmosphere is loose and playful. Members often play the famous 'gambling loop' or enjoy the unique routing that allows for multiple 9-hole configurations.
