Grayhawk (Talon)
Grayhawk Golf Club (Talon course): Of the two top-quality courses here at Grayhawk, it is usually the Raptor that just gets the edge over the Talon. But don't let that dissuade you from a round on the challenging and scenic Talon. In his younger days as a resident of Scottsdale, it was as much on the Talon as on the Raptor that Phil Mickelson honed his irrepressible golfing skills.
The tighter and slightly shorter of the two, the Talon was excellently designed and crafted by David Graham and Gary Panks. The layout will most assuredly test your accuracy and course management to the full, as well as your putting skills. The large, fast greens contain a mischievous array of slopes. Getting down in two can never be guaranteed on these mercurial putting surfaces. As on the Raptor, large and deep bunkers feature strongly, especially around the greens, some of them embellished with railway-sleepered faces.
On what was originally flattish terrain, the Talon's fairways were landscaped to create a pleasantly rolling character, with plenty of bumps and hollows to be navigated en route to the sometimes significantly elevated greens.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

Angela Stanford: major championship winner and Solheim Cup star, records an impressive win in her home state of Texas in the Volunteers of America Classic.
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
