Recreation

Arizona residents typically enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. The five-acre community park, complete with playground and picnic areas, will not disappoint. Basketball, tennis, and each volleyball can be played year-round at the conveniently located facilities near the community center. There are also two pools and a spa for aquatic fun and relaxation. The community has access to 40 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails, some of which connect to neighboring communities. Trails of varying lengths can take you to the Scottsdale Public Library, the Citizen Service Center, or the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Golf

The McDowell Mountain Golf Course, originally designed by Randy Heckenkemper and Phil Mickelson, was renovated in 2011. Improvements included widening the playing corridors, renovating the fairways, adding teeing areas, and carefully planned waste bunkers to significantly enhance the golf experience. The club now provides a premier golf course for beginners to experienced professionals. The course features coexist with the natural desert scenery to create a pleasant outing. Clear signage and tasteful sculpture throughout the course make it easy to see why the upscale course is a favorite for community residents and members. After a game, dining is available at the Mesquite Grill with a unique view of Camelback Mountain. Weddings, corporate events, parties, and other social gatherings can be arranged in the recently designed lawn and the Palo Verde event room.
