The Gainey Ranch Golf Club experience is Scottsdale golf taken to a whole new level. We set the gold standard for other Scottsdale area 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.
