Scottsdale Golf Course Properties 

DC Ranch Golf Course 

DC Ranch is a nationally acclaimed private golf and residential community at the western foothills of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, AZ. 

DC Ranch is a community unlike any other. Offering a vantage point from which to take in the McDowell Mountains, Pinnacle Peak, and panoramic views of Scottsdale and Phoenix below, DC Ranch encompasses approximately 3,700 acres of developable land. 

Situated adjacent to the 16,000-acre McDowell Sonoran Preserve, there is a strong sense of the past here, as seen in ancient petroglyphs, old mines, and cowboy trails. The lush, striking landscape is made even more beautiful by the changes in elevation brought about by the immediate proximity of the McDowell Mountains, which stand serenely in the background. 

DC Ranch offers residents a wide range of amenities, including two private clubs and golf courses, The Country Club and The Silverleaf Club, Desert Camp community recreational facility, Market Street and neighborhood parks. Phase I offers 13 miles of paths and trails, with pedestrian underpasses maintaining path and trail continuity at major street crossings.  

Gainey Ranch Golf Course 

The allure of the Sonoran Desert. The panorama of the McDowell Mountains. Breathtaking blue skies. These are only a few of the reasons why Scottsdale is the Southwest's premier golf community.  

And nestled in the heart of paradise is Gainey Ranch Golf Club, an award-winning 27-hole golf course that offers unparalleled golf on three distinctive, championship 9-hole courses--The Lakes, The Dunes and The Arroyo. Everything you'd expect from a modern oasis, and a whole lot more! 

Gainey Ranch is centrally located in Scottsdale on the north side of Doubletree Ranch Road, in between Hayden and Scottsdale Roads. Close to an abundance of dining options, shopping and entertainment venues, Gainey is an active and upscale community. The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale is located in the area of Gainey and residential living is resort-like as well, with golf, tennis and swimming always nearby.

Grayhawk Golf Course 

Grayhawk Golf Course is located in North Scottsdale on the north side of Thompson Peak between Scottsdale Rd. and Pima. 

Scottsdale's Grayhawk Golf Club offers two of the Southwest's most enjoyable and challenging golf experiences.  

The 6,973-yard, par-72 Talon Course, designed by former PGA and US Open Champion David Graham and architect Gary Panks, was selected as one of Golf Magazine's "Top 10 You Can Play."  

Raptor, Grayhawk's second golf course, opened for daily fee play on Saturday, December 9, 1995. The 7,108-yard par-72 course (from the back tees) was designed by award winning golf course architect Tom Fazio.  

Located in the City of Scottsdale, Grayhawk is one of Arizona’s most desirable places to live. Grayhawk features wonderful outdoor recreation opportunities and neighborhoods with gorgeous views of Pinnacle Peak and the McDowell Mountains. 

Kierland Golf Course 

Designed by Scott Miller, this dramatic 27-hole course is set apart from any other desert golf experience. Emerald green fairways are etched into golden-colored desert grasses, sweeping over constantly changing elevations to flawless tif-eagle bermuda greens.  

More than three hundred bunkers guard the way, along with lakes, dry desert washes and strands of desert trees.  

Most notably, this high-quality golf experience is conveniently located central to the exclusive Scottsdale Road resort corridor, the Scottsdale Air Park and the attractions and facilities of Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. 

Conveniently located just west of the intersection of Scottsdale and Greenway Roads, the Kierland area is one of the most dynamic residential and retail developments in all of Scottsdale. The Kierland Commons has quickly established itself as a hub of activity for unique shopping and dining experiences and the surrounding, well-planned residential areas have become highly desirable. 

Legend Trail Golf Course
 

Legend Trail Golf Course is located in North Scottsdale on the east side of Pima Road between Dixiletta and Cave Creek. 

Scottsdale's Legend Trail Golf Club is managed by Troon Golf and offers an exceptional golf experience.  

The 6,845 yard (from the tips), par-72 Course is, according to renowned golf course architect Rees Jones, “a facility created to provide a fair and enjoyable experience for the average and beginning golfer, yet also capable of presenting a formidable test for the game's more accomplished players.” 

Located in the northern corner of the City of Scottsdale, the homes surrounding Legend Trail have been constructed by some of the valley’s most recognized quality home builders. Home sites feature gorgeous views of Pinnacle Peak and the mountains of the northeast valley. 

McCormick Ranch Golf Course 

More than just a golf course… The McCormick Ranch Golf Club offers any caliber of player two spectacular resort golf courses, which are open to the public 365 days a year. These lush, well-manicured, traditional layouts are located amidst gorgeous scenery in the heart of Scottsdale.  

The Palm and Pine championship tees are each over 7,000 yards long, in addition to enjoyable, yet challenging men’s, seniors’, and ladies’ tees.  

Meet the challenge of these fine courses, known for hosting the Arizona Amateur Stroke Play Championship, the Golf for Women National Club Championship, the Arizona Open Professional Golf Tournament, and the National Junior College Golf Championship.  

The ninth hole of the Palm Course was chosen by Golf Illustrated as “One of the USA’s top 18 water holes.”  

The surrounding residential areas of McCormick Ranch are diverse and extraordinarily well planned communities. Once a working cattle ranch, the land (4,236 acres) was sold in 1972 to Kaiser-Aetna for $.05/sq.ft. ($2,178/acre). 

The subsequent transformation of the McCormick's Ranch was based on a master plan developed by Gruen Associates of Los Angeles and Scottsdale Environmental Planners and Consultants. Development began with infrastructure and amenities. The amenities had a dual purpose by providing aesthetics, which included two championship 18-hole golf courses, more than 25 miles of bicycle paths, public tennis courts, 130 acres of man-made lakes, two of which can be used for sailing and several that are stocked with fish. 

Phase I saw the completion of infrastructure (major street, sewers, water lines), the amenities and the introduction of three resorts. In Phase II, builders purchased parcels of land, constructed the houses, condominiums, and patio homes, and did on-site streets and utilities. Since 1980, when Transcontinental Properties acquired the remaining 300 of 500 planned commercial acres, the company has developed 78 acres in a residential project, and 182 acres in commercial projects.  

For planners and developers and builders, the seven square miles of McCormick Ranch is a quantitative figure of square feet and easements and setbacks. But for the resident, McCormick Ranch is an expansively sweeping view of the mountains, well-maintained areas and curvature roads. 

Terravita Golf Course  

Designed by PGA Hall of Famer Billy Casper and Greg Nash, the golf course at Terravita Golf & Country Club offers a true desert golf experience. Wide fairways and tee boxes placed with various skill levels in mind, make this private course a fair test. However, the natural topography and vegetation of the desert can come into play, rewarding the straight and accurate shot maker. 

Terravita is located on the west side of Scottsdale Road, just south of the town of Carefree.

Terravita an 823-acre private community in the desert foothills of Scottsdal is a planned community, built by Del Webb. When it originally opened in 1993 it was a runaway hit and still commands great demand and interest due to it’s superb recreational and community features.
