Arroyo at Gainey Ranch, a landmark of Scottsdale golf, embodies the spirit of desert sophistication. Winding through the affluent Gainey Ranch community, this Dick Wilson design, later refined by Randy Heckenkemper, offers a playable, resort-style experience amidst the iconic Arizona landscape. The course is strategically forgiving off the tee, yet places a premium on precise approach shots to its well-guarded greens. While it doesn't boast the rugged arroyos and dramatic elevation changes common in other desert courses, Arroyo distinguishes itself with its immaculate conditioning and emphasis on strategic shot-making. Bentgrass greens, a rarity in the area, provide a smooth and consistent putting surface. Arroyo is not known as a competitive stalwart in professional competitions, but rather a course for those who enjoy a casual round. It is a great place to spend time with members and guests alike.
