Concierge.com's insider take:

The Fairmont Scottsdale is a favorite of duffers—probably because it's adjacent to the 18-hole Stadium Course, site of the annual FBR Open, the Phoenix area's only PGA tournament. (If you're in town for the weekend of the FBR, talk to the concierge about getting into the Bird's Nest, the legendary after-party.) A standout in the Fairmont brand, the pink palace covers more than 450 immaculately landscaped acres and has a series of pools and waterslides that attract an eclectic mix of couples, families, and guys on bachelor weekends. Readers of Condé Nast Traveler picked Willow Stream Spa here as one of America's top resort selections in 2007. The menu of spa selections is peppered with funky treatments for golfers—check out the Golf Performance Treatment, combining massage, stretching, and acupressure to help improve mobility. The 651 guest rooms' heavy Southwest look is a bit much, but there is a great selection of villas, suites, and casitas. There are several restaurants to choose from here, but sadly, the Marquesa—which had a legendary brunch—has closed.
