And while the unique challenges of the Bad Little Nine oen take the lion's share of tales told aer a visit to the SNGC, e Minesha and e Other Course are what make the club so idyllic. "e Other Course" (whose name makes an intentional, tongue-in- cheek, oversight of the course's world- class layout), is in truth, the club's bread and butter. Kahn explains with succinct esteem that, "the detail, the strategy, the aesthetic we put into [e Other Course], that was very special." And Kahn still enjoys playing SNGC of which he says in no small praise, "it's honestly like Christmas morning every time I get to go up there. Every time I drive through the gate I don't want to leave." e club's three-day package, aptly named "e Xperience", is an application and invitation-contingent offering, starting at $30,000. e first day of e Xperience offers a custom club fitting by the PXG onsite specialist, as well as a PXG apparel fitting, followed by a sumptuous dining experience with curated courses by the club's world-class chef. Visitors end the day in complete comfort at one of the club's five luxurious 4-bedroom villas. e second day at SNGC is one of unforgettable golf beneath the Sonoran Sun at each of the club's three world-class courses, followed by an evening in the Villa Fitness Center, the club's state-of-the-art spa. e third and final day is the client's day to make their own, without schedule or reservation, nothing but fresh air, sunshine, and the nation's top courses at your doorstep. Underberg commented in stark admiration that, "e villas are absolutely spectacular and the restaurant is 5-star quality. is is a place for them to showcase what they love to do, which is golf." Beyond Parsons' vision for a world class facility peopled with the most friendly and knowledgeable staff, is the club's unique and bold "One Rule" philosophy. e importance of the club's divergence from convention here, can't be overstated. e only rule to Scottsdale National Golf Club is, "No member shall impinge upon another member's enjoyment of the club," and yes, it's just as simple as that. Parsons made a point to do away with the arbitrary rules and criteria ubiquitous in prestigious clubs, which he believes make guests "too nervous to even take a divot, let alone enjoy themselves." It's beyond evident that members and guests here are given an open fairway to complete enjoyment. e One Rule philosophy serves to create an environment where everyone can have fun, and it seems to work exceedingly well.
