Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Desert Mountain Club is an oasis of relaxation and recreation. It’s a private golf club and community, where residency may also let you into one of the best country clubs in the entire nation.
Of course, it all starts with the 8,300-acre community, with plenty of houses to choose from that you can turn into a home for your family. You have elegant estates, courtyard homes, and various custom home sites for discerning buyers. It’s very common to find home prices here that go over $3 million, and you might consider that as one of the costs of getting into the desert mountain club.
Of course, the cost may well be worth it, and that’s especially true if you’re a fanatical golfer. Where else in the world can you find 6 Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses? That’s not a typo—it’s really six. There’s also a 7th short executive par-54 course, if those six courses weren’t enough. That means you can visit the club every for a week, and each day you can play on a different golf course.
The golf courses offer a wide range of different experiences, and they’re meant for players of all skill levels. If you’re determined to get better, you can also take advantage of the Jim Flick Performance Center, as it’s one of the best practice facilities in the whole state. Here you can find 4 practice ranges, along with lots of areas for pitching, chipping, and putting practice.
After the golf courses, you still have plenty of other amenities and features to savor. We counted 8 different restaurants here, ranging from fine dining to grills and cafes. There’s also a gastropub for fun outings with family and friends, along with live entertainment.
There are plenty of areas reserved for tennis and pickleball, along with a fitness center and a spa. Outdoorsy folks will enjoy the trails for hiking and biking, and there’s a nature preserve as well. \
Membership costs can vary at any time, but the most recent reports say that the initial contribution for a full equity golf membership starts at $85,000. The pricing is market-based, so it’s likely to get higher.
The lifestyle memberships require an initial contribution of $15,000, while it’s $5,000 for a junior membership.
