Scottsdale Links Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Scottsdale Links Resort is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, which means owners here can use their week on-site or deposit it into RCI's exchange network to travel elsewhere. As an independent resort rather than part of a large hotel brand, it runs under its own management or owners' association rather than a corporate chain. This is fairly common for Scottsdale-area timeshares and doesn't affect the practicalities of resale or renting out a week.

Scottsdale and the Sonoran Desert

Scottsdale has built its reputation on championship golf, desert spas, and a dining and gallery scene that draws visitors well beyond the golf crowd. Old Town Scottsdale, just a couple of miles away, is the obvious first stop for art galleries, Native American jewellery, and restaurants in a restored Western-era setting. Architecture fans head to Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and studio, while Camelback Mountain offers some of the best short hikes in the valley, with trails leading up to wide views over the city. The Heard Museum, a bit further out in Phoenix, is worth the trip for its Native American art and history collections. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport sits about 12 miles away, making the resort an easy arrival point for both US and international visitors.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Scottsdale Links Resort and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because Scottsdale Links Resort is independently managed rather than part of a major branded chain, resale here typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a centralised corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with the resort's association: the current transfer fee for changing the deed into the buyer's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures vary by resort and can change year to year, so it's worth getting them in writing from the association before any money changes hands. A resale buyer typically receives ownership of the week itself and, where applicable, continued RCI affiliation for exchanges — but not any resort credits, bonus points, or promotional perks the original purchaser may have received when buying from the developer.

What Renters Look For

Renters coming to Scottsdale are usually after a specific travel window — October through April, when desert temperatures are comfortable for golf, hiking, and outdoor dining — plus proximity to Old Town's restaurants and galleries, and easy access to the area's golf courses and spas. Being upfront in your listing about the unit size, the week or season you own, and whether RCI exchange is included will help renters and buyers understand exactly what they're getting.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Arizona's desert climate means summer months (June through September) regularly see temperatures exceed 110°F, so most owners use or rent out their week in the cooler October-to-April season. A rental car is worth factoring into any listing description, since Scottsdale's golf courses, restaurants, and attractions are spread across the city rather than walkable from one base.
