There are very few places in the world where you fly in on a private jet and within a five minute drive, you can go to the most well known and attended PGA golf tournament in the world, and the top classic car auction show that attracts the world’s most influential and powerful people. That place is North Scottsdale.
Scottsdale Airport, located nine miles north of downtown Scottsdale, is a hub for private aviation and luxury convenience. It is one of the busiest single-runway facilities in the United States, but more importantly for the Valley’s high-net-worth visitors, it’s the front door to a lifestyle of close by golf, world-famous events and fine dining options.
Before stepping off the tarmac, you can enjoy a fine dining experience and beer/cocktails with a restaurant featuring views of the airport. Enter Volanti Restaurant, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and cocktail happy hour while watching planes takeoff and land right on the terrace.
Volanti offers brunch and dinner menus in an upscale yet casual dining experience right at Scottsdale Airport.
After landing, you’re less than ten minutes way from TPC Scottsdale, home of the legendary WM Phoenix Open which is known as “The Greatest Show on Grass.” Each February, the Stadium Course becomes the epicenter of the PGA Tour, hosting over 700,000 fans throughout the weekend to watch the top golfers in the world including Scotty Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Adam Hadwin, and Scottsdale local Wyndham Clark. For many top executives who rented a suite at the iconic 16th hole, the convenience of flying directly into Scottsdale Airport and being at TPC Scottsdale well within the hour is a luxury that’s hard to compete with anywhere else in the country.
The start to the year is an especially exciting time for Scottsdale because of the cooler weather, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people escape the harsh winter to temperatures ranging from 60-80 degrees during the day. And right before the WM Phoenix Open, just 10 minutes down the road at WestWorld of Scottsdale, the world famous Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction takes place.
What began in the 1970s as a small regional car show has evolved into one of the world’s most prestigious automotive events, attracting global collectors, celebrities, and investors who descend on Scottsdale to buy, sell, and showcase some of the rarest vehicles ever made including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, concept cars and more.
Beyond TPC Scottsdale, North Scottsdale features a collection of world-class private golf communities.
- Silverleaf and DC Ranch, set against the McDowell Mountains, offer challenging play and panoramic desert vistas.
- Estancia and Desert Highlands provide exclusivity and architectural beauty, where every home is crafted for privacy and luxury.
- Troon North and Desert Mountain round out the elite golf scene with courses designed by legends like Tom Weiskopf and Jack Nicklaus.
