Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Scottsdale, Arizona
The Deal
Play After the Pros Play: two nights in a room with a patio and a wet bar; one round per person on the Stadium and Champions courses at TPC Scottsdale; transportation to and from golf; half-hour video swing analysis
The Golf
The Champions, formerly called Desert, reopened in November after being completely renovated. Lengthened and fitted with new bunkers and contours, it’s no longer the insipid sister to the famed Stadium, host of the notoriously well-attended FBR Open.
Price
From $885 per person until April 5; from $832 until April 15; from $718 until April 26

Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino Fountain Hills, Arizona
The Deal
Golfer’s Golf package: one night in a room with Native American decor; green fees for two, with cart, at We-Ko-Pa (whose second course, Saguaro, opened in late 2006), SunRidge Canyon or Eagle Mountain; breakfast
The Golf
Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Saguaro belies the notion that desert golf means target golf: Here, the bump-and-run is often the best option. And with tee boxes set close to the preceding greens, golfers can easily walk the course.
Price
From $609 per room per night until April 5; from $509 until April 27

The Deal
Fore: stay in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip in a room with a sitting area and marble bath; one round per person at the Rees Jones–designed course at Cascata Golf Club; limousine ride to and from the course
