Scottsdale Links Resort by Diamond Resorts is a peaceful family resort, right next door to TPC Scottsdale Champions Golf Course. Avid tennis players should bring their rackets for a game on the resort’s courts. Lounge in the shade of the palm trees by the pool or hop into one of the two hot tubs for a soothing soak. You have two pools to choose from, a family pool and an adult pool. Little ones will love the splash pad. There’s a BBQ area, perfect for a family cookout. Stay in shape in the fitness center or indulge in a massage, provided by the resort.

One- to three-bedroom condos sleep four to eight guests. Air conditioned units allow you to escape the Arizona heat. All condos have full kitchens because sometimes a mini fridge just doesn't cut it. The kids will be begging to help make your famous chocolate-chip cookies (and be the official taste testers). When the eggs and flour decide to go rogue, you’ll be thankful for the in-suite washer/dryer. Throw in a load of laundry while the cookies are baking. Up for a low-key night in? TVs with Cable and DVD players have you covered. Bring favorite movies from home, or browse the selection of DVD rentals at the resort. Grab the cookies, pop some popcorn and call everyone into the living room for family movie night. First kid on the couch gets to pick the movie!

The resort’s concierge will quickly become your new best friend, offering restaurant recommendations, information on local attractions and help arranging tee times. With all of the golfers in your crew, it shouldn’t be too hard to gather a foursome willing to disappear for a few hours of friendly competition at TPC Scottsdale Champions Golf Course. Get ready to shop until you drop at Kierland Commons Mall; it’s just a ten-minute drive from Scottsdale Links Resort by Diamond Resorts. Here you will find a variety of shopping and dining options.

Chang’s. Get your caffeine fix at Starbucks. Baseball fan? Head to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the Spring Training home of the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
