The Man Behind the Tee Sheet
Scottsdale Luxury Golf was built on a simple rule: chosen with exacting standards, run by one local team. That is how you deliver a trip worth repeating.
Marcus Pickett
Marcus started Scottsdale Luxury Golf after hosting his own golf trips and watching the same problems repeat: bad hotels, rental car arguments, missed tee times, and half the group stuck figuring out logistics instead of playing.
The fix was not a better travel agency. It was curation. Hand-pick the houses. Vet the drivers. Know the courses personally. That way, when your group walks off the plane, every piece of the trip is already in place, run by one local team, not a chain of subcontractors.
Today, Scottsdale Luxury Golf runs a curated network of hand-picked homes led by five private flagship residences, a private fleet with drivers across the Valley, and a partner network of 30 championship courses. Marcus is involved in every trip, from the first call to the last ride to the airport.
Most groups come back. The ones who have been doing annual trips for years say the same thing: this was the first one where nobody complained.
A Note From Our FounderEvery house in our collection is one I would put my own name on. Every course is one I would play tomorrow. If a detail matters to your group, it matters to me.
Marcus PickettFounder & CEOHow We Curate
Every home earns its place in the collection. One local team runs your trip end to end, from the first tee time to the last ride to the airport — our homes, our drivers, our name.
5 Private Properties
Hand-picked for our collection. Maintained by our cleaning crew, stocked by our team, inspected before every guest arrives. Every home earns its place.
6-12 Passenger Fleet
Yukon black-car service, Mercedes Sprinter vans, and executive coaches and buses for larger groups, with rental cars arranged on request. Maintained and cleaned between every trip. Your driver has the keys. You never open a rideshare app.
30 Championship Courses
A partner course network with preferred tee times across 30 championship courses. Local restaurant connections. Drivers who know every road. Built over years of relationships in the Valley.

The Crew on the Ground
Drivers
Our drivers are not hired through an app. They are part of the team. They know the routes, the shortcuts, and the best coffee stops on the way to the first tee. Available on call for your entire trip.
Golf Hosts
Local golfers who know the courses, the pin placements, and the pace of play. They join your group, keep the round moving, and make sure everyone has a good time regardless of skill level.
Private Chefs
When you add a private chef dinner, we bring in local culinary talent who cook at the house. Your menu, your preferences, your dietary needs. Steaks, seafood, or something the group picks together.
“I got tired of watching guys spend more time planning the trip than playing golf. So I built something where you show up and the only decision left is which club to pull. That is it. That is the whole idea.”Marcus Pickett, Founder
