The Estancia Club occupies 640 acres of high Sonoran Desert in north Scottsdale, where the course was designed by Tom Fazio around the natural rock outcroppings and arroyos of the McDowell Mountains. Fairways follow the existing topography rather than forcing cuts through the landscape, so elevation changes and drainage patterns remain largely intact. Several greens sit on plateaus that rise abruptly from surrounding desert, requiring precise approach shots and leaving little margin for error. Native vegetation—saguaro, ocotillo, and jojoba—lines most holes, with minimal introduced landscaping. Irrigation is drawn from on-site wells, and the turf mix is predominantly bermuda with rye overseed in winter. The practice facility includes a short-game area with multiple bunker types and a putting green that replicates the speed and contouring found on the course itself. Maintenance staff routinely adjust pin placements daily to balance playability with the course’s inherent difficulty.
The Estancia Club currently has (within 1 mile) 32 single family homes for sale with an average list price of $3,501,590.63, 12 townhouses for sale with an average list price of $794,150, 2 condos for sale with an average list price of $809,500, and 5 lots for sale with an average list price of $2,020,000. The average annual property tax for The Estancia Club is $6,074.80.
