Desert Mountain is an expansive 8,200-acre gated community set in the breathtaking High Sonoran Desert of North Scottsdale, Arizona. Bordered by the Tonto National Forest, it offers an unparalleled blend of luxury living and outdoor recreation. Originally master-planned in the mid-1980s by Taliesin Associated Architects, founded by Frank Lloyd Wright, Desert Mountain has evolved into one of the most prestigious golf and lifestyle communities in the country.

At the heart of the community is The Desert Mountain Club, a private club that began with a single golf course, a casual restaurant, and a practice range. It quickly expanded with the addition of the Geronimo and Cochise courses, accompanied by a 52,000-square-foot clubhouse. Today, the Club boasts seven courses, including six full-length championship Jack Nicklaus Signature designs, alongside world-class amenities.

To maintain its status as one of the region’s premier clubs, Desert Mountain has invested in continuous improvements. Notable enhancements include the creation of Seven, an innovative par-54 course, and a $12 million renovation of the Sonoran Clubhouse, which features a swim, tennis, fitness, and spa facility. Members enjoy ten diverse dining venues, pickleball and bocce courts, golf croquet, an expanded children's playground, and a beloved dog park. The community also offers over 20 miles of scenic hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails in the surrounding mountains, funded and maintained as a community asset by property owners. Additionally, the Club recently introduced the Jim Flick Golf Performance Center, a state-of-the-art training facility named after the legendary golf instructor.

Desert Mountain is more than a golf community—it’s a world-class lifestyle destination. With residents from across the United States and beyond, it has earned a reputation as one of the finest examples of golf course community development. For those seeking an exceptional luxury residential experience immersed in outdoor adventure, few places compare to Desert Mountain.
