Although not required of golf homeowners, membership at Desert Mountain gives residents access to the world's largest collection of private Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses, and one distinct par 54 championship course; No. 7 at Desert Mountain, one of only two such rated courses in the country. Each course provides an individual playing experience for all skill levels.  

Dramatic elevation changes, impeccable course conditions, and far-reaching views of metro Phoenix-Scottsdale distinguish Desert Mountain's 126-holes from other desert layouts. Through winter, spring, summer, and fall, northern Scottsdale's azure skies are always sunny, and thanks to Desert Mountain's exclusive "cool season" turf, all the golf course grasses are green all year long.
