When you think of Scottsdale, Arizona, golf is usually the first thing that comes to mind. When you think of Desert Highlands golf, many think Jack Nicklaus. The course was designed by the Golden Bear in 1983 and it has been claimed that Desert Highlands has been designed around Nicklaus' own playing style. That wouldn't be surprising given the fact that Jack spent two years and twenty visits to the site before completion.

Unusual also - each hole on the big tournament course provides four to seven sets of tees to accommodate varying levels of skills.
