Why Trust A Scottsdale Packager?

Hello, my name is Dick Schaefer and I have been a resident of Scottsdale, Arizona for 23 years. You can read more about me in the "About" section of this blog where I list background information and the various roles I have enjoyed within the Scottsdale Hospitality Industry. The reason I decided to do a review site and provide "insider" information is simple: after fielding thousands of phone calls over the years from golfers who did not know the answers to questions as basis as: "I was here in August and the price was XX, how come it's so much higher just four months later?" (How many times have I gotten a call for a trip in March only to hear a gasp when prices are discussed, "but I was there last October and only paid xxx") And while that may be true, March (coming in the height of peak season) is a whole heck of a lot different than October! Understanding Scottsdale's four distinct seasons and the pricing structure for each is only one of many insider tips that will help you plan a Scottsdale golf vacation.

How about the calls like; "why should I go through a packager when I can do it myself?" Sure you can and I encourage you to do so, if you have nothing better to do with your time. And even then you can't be sure you have done it right unless you ask an expert. IF however, you want to guarantee that you get the experience that you pay for, I urge you to work with a local packager. They can offer all kinds of money-saving suggestions, tips and will provide all the information than you will ever need about where to stay and play. The reasons for using a golf packager are many, only one of which is getting the best bang for your buck.

So, if I talk enough about my roles in hotel management and golf packaging over the years I hope that you start to get the impression that I know what I am talking about. After 23 years of packaging golf & lodging in Scottsdale I ought to know something. And because I am the watchdog that ensures your vacation is put in the hands of experts I am putting myself out on a limb by recommending certain packagers. But I am not worried, they won't let either of us down.
