Overview
The Other Course, built by David Kahn and Tim Jackson, is the second 18-hole course at Scottsdale National. Owned by PXG founder Bob Parsons, the course is one of the new century’s most exciting, creative design expressions—golf presented as a physical and psychological journey—though very few people have seen it due to the extremely private nature of the club.

Review
“Bob Parson's playground in the desert is immaculately manicured at all times and the exclusive nature of the club means that conditioning is always top notch. The routing includes six par 5s, six par 4s, and six par 3s, a concept that this panelist feels should be explored more often."

Review
“Impressive design and conditioning on what started as a flat featureless property. Bob Parsons of PXG has created a very good desert course. The comfort stations are well stocked with complimentary food and drink. Very exclusive, so don’t pass up an opportunity to play this one."
