Scottsdale National Golf Club

Until 2013, the course was known as The Golf Club of Scottsdale. It was renamed by Parsons after he acquired the golf course for $600,000.[9][10][11][12] In 2014, he unveiled a $35 million plan to redevelop some of the course's holes and build a new clubhouse. Since that time, a second clubhouse and member villas have been constructed, and Parsons has invested about $250 million in the property.[11]

Scottsdale National Golf Club now consists of two 18-hole courses and a nine-hole course. The original course, called Mine Shaft, is a par 72 spread across 290 acres (1.2 km2) designed by Jay Morrish and Dick Bailey. The second course, called The Other Course is a par-72 links course designed by Jackson Kahn Design.[6] The 9-hole par-3 course is called The Bad Little Nine,[13] also designed by Jackson Kahn Design. According to Today's Golfer, the 9-hole course is considered as one of the “trickiest” courses in the world.[14] Parsons has kept an offer on the table to give a golfer $1,000 if he or she finishes under par when the flags are in their trickiest locations.[13]

The club also has an extensive practice facility, which includes a driving range more than 400 yards deep, a short game area, and five different bunker and green scenarios.[10]

In 2017, construction was completed on new contemporary villas for members, which feature local artwork, as well as a second clubhouse.[10][11] Members can bring guests and stay on property to golf, dine, access the spa facilities and other amenities.[10]

SNGC hosts the annual Wild West Invitational tournament.[15] It's a three-day event for women and a four-day event for men with luxury food and drinks, and gifts for all of the players.[11] The player's objective is to win their flight and proceed to the final round, called The Stampede. In The Stampede, competitors must contend with a number of distractions that could include mobile deejays with music blaring over loudspeakers, sounds of jackhammers and helicopters, and even Bob Parsons heckling players with a bullhorn.[13]

The Xperience is a three-days golf immersion program at SNGC that includes PXG club fittings for two people by a PXG master fitter.[4] The day after the clubs are fitted, they are delivered to the participants for their playing rounds on all three golf courses. The Xperience also includes a tour of the club, accommodations and dinners.[16]
