(Our Rec) Well maintained par 3 course near the resort! Would recommend if you want to squeeze in a quick round.
(Our Rec) Our favorite course we have played so far in the area!
Nearest golf course to Andaz. 5 minute drive away. We have not played this course before, but it has good reviews.
(Our Rec) Come check out where Eric spends most of his free time hitting the ball way too hard at old people!
(Her Rec) Challenging hike, not for those with a fear of hikes. Great sunset/sunrise views.
(Her Rec) Another challenging hike also not for those scared of heights. Go early, take lots of water. Amazing views of the valley and a Phoenix staple. This mountain will be a backdrop for our ceremony!
(Our Rec) Shannon, Tyson, and Eric have had some great trips up to Sedona! About a 2 hour drive would be a great option for anyone looking to extend their trip or could even squeeze in a quick day trip.
(Our Rec) 3.5 hours from Scottsdale, another favorite of Shannon, Eric, and Tyson. Perfect for national park lovers!
(Our Rec) This state park has some of the best views in the area! Eric, Shannon, and Tyson went on their first Arizona camping trip here!
(Our rec) March is spring training season in Phoenix! For all our Cubs fans head to Sloan Park. Also check out Scottsdale Stadium and Salt River Field which are closer to us in Scottsdale. See link for the Cactus League Schedule.
(Our Rec) Our favorite breakfast spot. MUST get the churro waffle. Tbh it's the only thing we've ever gotten.
(Her Rec) Good for quick coffee and a treat, line may be long but moves quick!
(Our Rec) Featured on Chefs Table and the 2005 book “Slice of Heaven” declared it the best pizza in America. It has received similar accolades from the Food Network, the New York Times, Gourmet, Martha Stewart Living and Vogue. Its owner, Chris Bianco, has won the prestigious James Beard Award. So, yeah, this is a foodie's pizza joint. Eric and Shannon once waited 2.5 hours to eat here. It was pretty good, but go early or check out one of the other locations. Pane Bianco is also a good option!
(Our Rec) Outstanding wings, pizza, and BBQ
(Her Rec - but Eric had no complaints eating the Tomahawk) GREAT Mexican restaurant- but make reservations in advance its a tiny place! Reservations open up at 9am Arizona time on the first of every month for the following month.
(Her Rec) This is Shannon's favorite restaurant in Phoenix! Surprisingly great seafood for the desert! Don't skip dessert.
(Our Rec) Great option if looking for a fancy dinner! And great desserts! We love "The Ultimate" warm vanilla carmel cake and have been known to order it to go if we're in the area.
(His Rec) Still Eric's all time favortie pizza!
(His Rec- but this is a Morelock Family staple) Ask Eric's college roommates what they thought about this place.
(His Rec) Eric's favorite wings. Several locations in the Valley.
(Her Rec) Asian fusion with bottomless (food) brunch. YEAH bottomless FOOD!
(Our Rec) Casual restaurant with lots of TVs and options for everyone. Bags, Ping Pong, misc yard games at most locations. Good for if you want to grab a beer and a meal.
(Her Rec) Tater tots in a quesadilla?! Yeah crazy dilla's here, recommended for morning after the wedding if you know what we mean.
(Her Rec) A go-to brunch spot but great for any meal! Shannon had brunch here with all her friends at her bachelorette and it was a hit!
This is the restaurant at the hotel! It's one of our favorites and we recommend it if you're staying nearby.
