Arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor and enjoy a scenic 30-40 minute transfer to your resort in North Scottsdale — likely the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess or The Westin Kierland — where friendly staff will help with check-in and luggage. After settling into your room, take a gentle walk around the property to locate the tennis complex and practice courts, introduce yourself to the resort pro, and pick up your activity schedule and welcome packet.
Join the resort orientation and a short on-court warmup session with the tennis director to assess your level and set goals for the week; courts at the Kierland Tennis Center or Princess Tennis Complex offer shade, ball machines, and stringing services if needed. Afterward, tour the golf clubhouse and driving range (book a tee time for Day 3), then relax with an iced tea by the resort pool or enjoy a light lunch at the onsite restaurant — Toro or La Hacienda are good nearby options.
Attend the resort's welcome reception or meet-and-greet at the clubhouse to connect with other guests and your tennis/golf coaches, followed by a casual dinner on the patio — try the resort's signature Southwestern cuisine or farm-to-table fare at La Hacienda or Bourbon Steak. Finish the evening with a short stroll through the illuminated desert gardens or a nightcap at the bar, resting up for tomorrow's tennis clinics and spa recovery session.
Wake up energized for a focused morning on the courts with the resort’s tennis director — join the intermediate clinic at the Kierland/Commonwealth Tennis Center (or the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Tennis Complex) for drills on serve placement, transition volleys and situational point play, supplemented by short sessions on the ball machine and live-feed video analysis. Finish with a cool-down and a brief strategy chat with your pro to set targets for match play later in the week.
After lunch poolside at the resort’s signature café or Toro (depending on your property), treat yourself to a restorative spa package at the resort spa — opt for a sports massage and hydrotherapy circuit at the Fairmont Spa or the Well & Being Spa at The Westin Kierland to ease muscle fatigue and improve recovery. If you prefer light activity, take a gentle walk on the property’s desert trails or hit a few friendly practice serves on a shaded practice court to keep loose.
Reconnect with fellow guests at the resort’s casual dinner — try Southwestern specialties on the patio (La Hacienda at Kierland or La Plume at the Fairmont) while you recap the day’s improvements and upcoming tee times. Cap the night with a short visit to the fire pits or an outdoor lounge for a nightcap, enjoying the cool desert air and a relaxed preview of tomorrow’s 18-hole round.
Rise early for a hearty breakfast at the resort (try the full spread at La Hacienda or the Fairmont’s Bourbon Steak breakfast buffet) before heading to the tee time you reserved during orientation at either the Kierland Golf Club or the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess’s Palmer/Golf Club course. Warm up on the driving range and practice putting green with a short lesson or pre-round tips from the resort’s golf pro, then enjoy a relaxed, scenic 18-hole round through desert-lined fairways and strategic bunkering — keep an eye out for sweeping mountain vistas that define Scottsdale golf.
After your round, refuel with a leisurely lunch at the clubhouse patio (the Kierland Clubhouse or the Fairmont’s Ironwood Terrace are great picks) and compare notes with playing partners over a local craft beer or iced tea. Spend the late afternoon swinging by the resort’s short game area for a quick skills tune-up or relax poolside with a recovery smoothie and light stretch to ease any lingering stiffness before tonight’s activities.
Return to the resort for a freshen-up and join the group for dinner at a signature on-property restaurant — consider Toro or La Hacienda for Southwestern flavors or Bourbon Steak for a refined option — then head to the clubhouse fire pits or lounge to recap the day’s best shots and plan strategy for upcoming match play. If energy allows, book a brief sports massage at the spa to speed recovery and set yourself up for the next day’s resort match play sessions.
After a restorative night and optional short warm-up on the practice courts, meet your tennis pro at the Kierland Tennis Center (or the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Tennis Complex) for organized match-play ladders and doubles rotations tailored to your level. Expect competitive, coached sets with live feedback, short video clips for quick technique tweaks, and a mid-morning recovery break with iced electrolyte drinks at the courtside cabana.
Refuel with a leisurely lunch at the Kierland Clubhouse patio or the Fairmont’s Ironwood Terrace, then swap courts for the resort’s short-game area—if you booked one—where the golf pro will run a 45-minute wedge and bunker clinic to sharpen touch for upcoming rounds. Alternatively, take a restorative dip in the heated pool or a quick sauna session at the resort spa to loosen muscles and review match notes with partners before tonight’s dinner.
Dress for a relaxed but refined clubhouse dinner at Bourbon Steak (if at Fairmont) or Toro Azul / La Hacienda at Kierland, where Southwestern flavors and seasonal cocktails provide the perfect end to a competitive day; reserve a patio table to take in desert sunset views.

Return to the hotel for a leisurely poolside lunch at the Parker’s Norma’s or the Hyatt Regency’s pool café, then spend a restorative afternoon alternating laps in the heated resort pool and lounging under a private cabana; the spa at the Parker or the Agua Serena Spa at nearby La Quinta offer quick recovery options like an express sports massage or cold-compression therapy. If energy allows, take a short stroll down Palm Canyon Drive to browse galleries and pick up sunscreen or a light wrap for evening plans.

As the desert cools, enjoy dinner at a Palm Springs favorite like Workshop Kitchen + Bar or Lulu California Bistro to celebrate a great round, then stroll Palm Canyon Drive to browse galleries and pick up a souvenir.

After a light clubhouse lunch at the La Quinta Resort’s Adobe Grill or the Hyatt’s Terrace Café, join a focused 90-minute private or small-group session with the resort tennis pro at the La Quinta Tennis Center, concentrating on aggressive serve placement, approach shots and doubles positioning especially tuned to the faster desert court conditions you’ve been experiencing.

Refuel with a leisurely clubhouse lunch—try the PGA WEST Grille or the Adobe Grill patio—and then spend the afternoon easing into resort mode: refine your putting on the practice green, book a 30-45 minute short-game tune-up with the resort’s golf instructor, or relax in a private cabana by the pool with a recovery smoothie. If you’re feeling social, meet fellow travelers for a post-round beer at the course patio to trade highlights and discuss strategy for tomorrow’s coastal drive.
Return to La Quinta Resort & Club (or your Hyatt property) to freshen up before dinner at Morgan’s in the Desert or Johnny Longboats, where regional wines and seasonal fare complement mountain views.

Unpack and refuel with a leisurely lunch at Liberty Public Market or the hotel’s seaside restaurant, then spend the afternoon exploring the Embarcadero or Balboa Park: stroll the waterfront, visit a museum highlight, or warm up on a public court at Crown Point or Balboa Park’s courts for light hitting to keep your swing sharp. If you prefer relaxation, reserve a pool cabana at your hotel or book an express recovery massage at the hotel spa to loosen muscles from the drive and earlier rounds.
As golden hour approaches, head to La Jolla Cove or Coronado Beach for a sunset stroll and watch sea lions bobbing offshore before dinner at George’s at the Cove or Peohe’s for fresh seafood with ocean views.

Start the day with an invigorating beachfront tennis session at Crown Point or the scenic courts near La Jolla Shores, where a local pro will lead serve-and-volley drills and situational doubles play with ocean breezes and viewlines to the Pacific.

Keep the tempo relaxed with a mid-afternoon visit to Balboa Park or the Embarcadero—browse a museum exhibit or pop into the Spanish Village Art Center—then return to the hotel for pool time or a restorative sports massage at the spa to soothe any tightness from morning practice. If you’re up for more play, grab a few casual sets at the hotel’s courts or a public court in Mission Bay to cement your doubles positioning before evening plans.
Head to La Jolla Cove or Sunset Cliffs for a classic San Diego sunset, then savor a oceanfront dinner at George’s at the Cove (upstairs for skyline views) or Peohe’s on Coronado for fresh seafood and sunset cocktails.
