Summer Is A Swingin’ Time For
Golfers At Royal Palms Hotel And Casitas

By Robert Lewis

After a day on the links, a cool drink under the desert stars or a Mediterranean feast in the award-winning T. Cook’s provides a relaxing interlude. Complimentary services, incorporated in the golf packages, include all gratuities (except food and beverage), use of the fitness center to loosen up, in-room coffee, valet parking and even a shoeshine. And, of course, the pool, set against the backdrop of Camelback Mountain, beckons always.

The Troon Vacation Package offers some of the world’s best golf at any one of the five legendary Troon courses including Troon North, Kierland and Talking Stick. This Royal Palms exclusive program is a two-night package, priced at $380 single and $545 double, per night and includes one round of golf for each one night’s accommodation, continental breakfast, and all taxes and gratuities.
