Overview
The Mineshaft course is the original of the three courses at Scottsdale National, previously known as The Golf Club of Scottsdale, which was purchased by PXG owner Bob Parsons in 2013. With little built-up infrastructure around the property, the secluded course is a true desert-golf experience. There are plenty of panoramic views of the McDowell Mountains and Four Peaks, especially on the tee at the downhill par-3 16th. Scottsdale National is an extremely private club owned by Parsons, who says that “We have one rule: no member shall ever impede on another member’s good time.”

Review
“I last played this course in 2007 when course was known as Golf Club of Scottsdale. After Bob Parsons bought course, 3 holes (15, 17, 18) were changed. Holes 17 and 18 on the side of a hill were previously poor holes. Bob Parsons “blew up” the hillside, and Jackson/Khan greatly improved the holes by moving 17 further downhill to the right and moving the tee of 18 further to the right."

“Fantastic experience and really nice course. It was very enjoyable to play with a lot of variety. Few holes that were really unexpected and unusual. #10 was a really good use of dual fairway. Favorite holes: #4, #5, #6, #8, #10, #13, #14, #15, #16 Least favorite: #1, #9, #17"
