JW Marriott Desert
Ridge Resort & Spa

The chilly northern winter brings millions of sun-starved visitors to the Valley of the Sun each year. Most have beautiful desert golf on their mind, and they've come to the right place. The Phoenix/Scottsdale area is made up of over 200 courses, many of which on the high-end. Scottsdale is the newer, richer side of Phoenix, featuring some of the classiest and most luxurious communities, clubs and resorts in the southwest. The golf resort, which usually features spacious rooms or suites, private balconies to bask in the desert sunset, and onsite location is the choice for many of these guests.

All the elements are in place at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. Fire, water, earth and sky are the theme here and have been woven into every design aspect, from floor-to-ceiling windows and sparkling waterways. Guest rooms each have stunning views of the wildflower garden, pools, lakes or golf course. 35 luxury suites and 38 executive suites offer a wide variety of room options. Two 18-hole courses are on the property at Wildfire Golf Club, with designs from PGA greats Nick Faldo and Arnold Palmer. The Meritage Steakhouse provides fine course-side dining.
