Since its inception in 1983, Desert Highlands has set the standard by which all other private golf communities are measured. Spanning 850 acres, Desert Highlands majestically melds Sonoran Desert luxury living with world-class amenities.
Considered one of the premier addresses in the Scottsdale region, Desert Highlands offers opulent residences in a naturally beautiful and unspoiled environment. In addition to its pristine setting, each residence possesses architecturally adapted styles and systems suited for prominent and distinguished buyers.
Living in peaceful luxury is attractive, but it’s Desert Highlands’ energetic lifestyle that consistently draws discerning families and active Boomers in equal measure – golfers, tennis enthusiasts, pet lovers, health and wellness enthusiasts. A full social calendar allows residents to also fully enjoy this peaceful community.
The community’s calling card is its Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Stretching to over 7,100 yards, this splendid layout offers a challenging, but fair test, and striking views of Pinnacle Peak and the lights of the Valley spread across the horizon in the distance below. Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson have walked these fairways, as it was host site of the first Skins Game in 1983.
Just as impressive is Desert Highlands’ Racquet Club, which sports 13 tennis courts featuring all three grand slam surfaces – grass, clay and hard. The Racquet Club also annually hosts one of the premier tennis tournaments found anywhere – the USTA Southwest Grass Court Classic.
A Club unlike any other, Desert Highlands sets the standard for exceptional living with unrivaled amenities…
Desert Highlands also boasts a 7,700-square-foot Wellness Center, an 18-hole professional designed putting course and a spacious dog park. Inside, the club provides residents peace of mind with a state-of-the-art security system, professionally trained security personnel, visitor control and access, and other protection amenities. Among the acclaimed residential services that truly pamper residents and meet their specific needs – shipping and transportation assistance, pool and spa maintenance, auto detailing and other customized services.
Living in luxury at this level has never been more obtainable.
