Mountain Shadows Resort Is a Desert Oasis Filled With Golf, Sumptuous Seafood and Fun in the Sun

There’s nothing quite like summer in Scottsdale, and Mountain Shadows Resort is here to show you how to live the desert dream in sunny Arizona. Best of all, by booking your summer escape just in time for the annual seasonal sale (running May 19-26), you can take advantage of premium promo pricing and score the biggest deals of the year. Book two nights and get the third night free, or enjoy 25% off all luxurious resort accommodations when you visit through September. A pair of welcome beverages and a signature snack (compliments of the chef) will greet you upon arrival, plus an extra gift of 20% off any poolside cabana rental. Need another reason to book?

Grab your clubs and book a tee time at The Short Course, Mountain Shadow Resort’s dazzling 18-hole golf green. This putter’s playground boasts sweeping panoramic views and a variety of slopes and terrain to entice golfers of all experience levels. Originally designed in 1961, this fully renovated course makes for the perfect place to work on your swing. For a friendly tie-breaker, challenge your opponents to The Forrest Wager—a final face-off on bonus hole 17.5—before breaking for a round of refreshments at Rusty’s.

 

2 | Rent a Daybed or Poolside Cabana

Get ready for some fun in the sun. Head to the pool and claim a daybed for an afternoon of leisurely lounging, or kick back and relax with your crew in the privacy of an exclusive cabana. Like your own private clubhouse, these plush poolside digs come fully equipped with a sleek bottle-service spread and a mini fridge to chill your complimentary bottle of house rosé or round of beers. Catch highlights from the big game on your personal television and order delicious dishes and drinks on-demand from The Citizens Club. Once you’re ready, go cool off in the pristine pool—or take a toasty dip in the hot tub.

For an evening of fine desert dining, make your way to Hearth ‘61 and sample an array of American fare—with an upscale spin. Start at the bar and clink glasses with signature craft cocktails while admiring the mountains by the glow of a Scottsdale sunset. Step down into the Living Room for small plates with big views, or make it an al fresco affair on the spacious patio. With a reimagined summer menu, prepare for imaginative recipes and culinary classics to delight the senses. We recommend slicing into a juicy steak and savoring seafood, perfectly paired with your favorite vintage.
