Recent Jw Marriott Desert Ridge Review: "Large resort just north of the loop. You'll need a car, but otherwise not too far to Paradise Valley restaurants, or to Mayo Clinic. This resort seems to cater to families, who enjoy the many pools, and to golfers. My sons enjoyed the 2 designer courses even in the 105 degree heat. Look for a discount package if you are into that. Breakfast good, with  made-to-order omelettes, but expensive. Meritage steak restaurant also expensive, but very good. The hotel was well-kept and rooms comfortable and tastefully done, but what most impressed me here was the service- everyone was well-trained, cheerful, and helpful."

    A short guide to Scottsdale

    Scottsdale’s golf courses form a green oasis amid Phoenix’s arid surroundings. This premier golfing destination has about a dozen golf and country clubs. Baseball fans hit a fevered pitch at Scottsdale Stadium, a Major League Baseball spring training facility. Art galleries, restaurants, and shops abound in Old Town Scottsdale. Nearby, Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece Taliesin West is open for tours.

    Recreation

    Graced by desert plantings, palm trees, and blossoms, the resort's four-acre water complex includes a 150-foot-long freeform pool containing a stone-pillar waterfall topped by a fire ring after dark. The JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa also contains a 60-by-25-foot lap pool; a 15-person spa tub; a serpentine, 225-foot-long plunge pool bordered by sundecks; a 600-foot-long lazy river; a 100-foot waterslide; and a secluded sundeck with a 26-person freeform spa tub and a firepit. The entire complex is bordered by stone walkways edged with flowers and includes stone waterfalls.

    Revive Spa includes a 75-by-30-foot outdoor lap pool and 13-person spa tub. Use of this area is confined to guests age 16 or older who pay daily surcharges for access to the spa's recreation facilities and to guests booking spa treatments. The spa also includes a fitness center with cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights, with personal trainers available. For surcharges, the spa's exercise studio offers classes such as spinning, yoga, Pilates, and tai chi/qigong, with a complimentary power walk scheduled daily.


    The resort's two championship courses at Wildfire Golf Club include one designed by golf pro Nick Faldo, a layout with generous fairways and expansive landing areas that feature views of the McDowell Mountains, Camelback Mountain, and Squaw Peak. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the second course wanders through the desert and features undulating bent-grass greens. The golf club includes a driving range, putting and chipping greens, a practice bunker, a pro shop, and a 25,000-square-foot clubhouse with women's and men's locker rooms. Lessons are available.
    A tennis complex includes eight lighted courts and a pro shop. One-on-one instruction, daily clinics in season, daily private lessons, matching services, and ball machine rentals are available. Hiking/biking and nature trails wind through the resort's 316-desert acres, with bicycles available for rent. Additional activities include Segway tours, jewelry making workshops, stargazing, watercolor workshops, and dive-in movies (schedule varies).

    Some guests may choose to walk to the nearby Desert Ridge Marketplace which features a movie theater, as well as shopping and dining venues. Bowling is available with a half-mile.
