Golf Communities in Scottsdale & the Phoenix Area
From private high-desert clubs in North Scottsdale to active-adult golf communities in the West Valley, each community pairs its homes with a different golf and club experience.

Buying a home and joining a club are separate considerations, and how they connect varies by community.

Comparing Golf Communities
Location & Homes
Compare drive times to shopping, dining, medical care and airports, along with architecture, home ages, lot sizes, privacy, views, and custom versus production homes.
Golf & Membership
Golf-course access and club membership are not the same thing, and owning a home rarely includes membership automatically. Membership types, fees and availability vary by club and change over time, so current details are confirmed directly with each club.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Fitness, tennis, pickleball, dining, pools and social programs can matter as much as golf. Larger communities offer more variety; smaller ones can feel more close-knit.
