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.
