Scottsdale's Premier Golf Experience
The centerpiece of Gainey Ranch's golf program is our impeccably maintained 27-hole championship course, harmoniously set against the awe-inspiring McDowell Mountains.
Michael Poellot, the former chief architect for Robert Trent Jones Jr., and Bradford L. Benz, another renowned golf course designer, designed the golf courses at Gainey Ranch. The two architects worked together to create a challenging and enjoyable golf experience showcasing the Sonoran Desert's natural beauty.
Additionally, we've recently completed renovations to bunkers and putting surfaces, enhancing the overall golfing experience on our 27-hole championship course.
The Lakes Course
With it's lush greenery, sparkling waterways and spectacular waterfall at the ninth hole, The Lakes Course is both a challenging Scottsdale golf course and a delightful one.
The Dunes Course
Surrounded by the indigenous desert, The Dunes course requires accuracy off the tee and a gentle touch on the greens.
The Arroyo Course
As the longest of the three nines, The Arroyo Course requires both power and placement, ending with its infamous peninsular green on No. 9.
