Golf Tournament
A Must-Play Golf Course!
Gainey Ranch Golf Club, an award-winning 27-hole private golf club, offers unparalleled golf on three distinctive, championship nine-hole courses: The Lakes, The Dunes and The Arroyo. Nestled in the heart of paradise, Gainey Ranch was once a historic Arabian horse ranch owned by Daniel C. Gainey. With panoramic views of the McDowell Mountains, the allure of the Sonora Desert and breathtaking blue skies, Gainey Ranch is Scottsdale golf taken to a whole new level. Our Scottsdale golf club boasts great holes of golf designed by Michael Poellot, the former chief architect for Robert Trent Jones Jr. His craftsmanship has more than lived up to his reputation in designing each of Gainey Ranch’s golf courses.
With its lush greenery, sparkling waterways and spectacular waterfall at the ninth hole, The Lakes is both a challenging Scottsdale golf course and a delightful one. Surrounded by the indigenous desert, The Dunes course requires accuracy off the tee and a gentle touch on the greens. As the longest of the three nines, The Arroyo requires both power and placement, ending with its infamous peninsular green on No. 9. All three of our world-class golf courses combine to make Gainey Ranch the top choice for exceptional golf in Scottsdale.
Costs:
Greens Fees $175
Rental Clubs $80
One Mulligan $5
Three Mulligans $12
