Desert Mountain: Award-Winner
Desert Mountain offers six Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses.
The Robb Report has named Desert Mountain, which showcases six widely acclaimed Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, the “Best Golf Community” in the world.
Encompassing more than 8,000 acres of beautiful high Sonoran desert, the community has been developed with a strict dedication to preserving the sensitive desert environment.
The rugged mountains form a memorable backdrop.
Add in the Tonto National Forest which surrounds it to the north, and you enjoy the sense that you are far from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet everything you want and need is just minutes away.
From the concierge services and world-class golf to the variable surface tennis courts, from casual to formal dining, this luxury desert golf community builds a strong case for its No. 1 Robb Report ranking.
