Nothing caps off a memorable round better than an equally unforgettable meal. After playing Troon North, head to the scrumptious Talavera at the Four Seasons Scottsdale at Troon North (talaverarestaurant.com), a modern take on the classic steakhouse with equally vibrant sunset views. Another post-round indulgence is The Grill at The Boulders, which boasts an exhibition kitchen, a fireplace, and newly renovated patio seating with grand views of the lush 18th hole fairways. theboulders.com
