Dunes Course
Scottsdale, AZ, USA
The Dunes Course at Gainey Ranch offers a distinct desert golfing experience just north of Old Town Scottsdale, diverging from the typical Sonoran landscape. Designed by Michael Poellot in the late 1980s, the course presents a links-style feel with rolling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and water hazards influencing play on several holes. It is a course that subtly favors shotmakers who can work the ball, with doglegs and strategically bunkered landing areas requiring thoughtful club selection. While not known for hosting major championships, The Dunes Course holds a respected place within the Scottsdale golfing community. The club itself maintains a vibrant membership known for its unpretentious atmosphere and commitment to the traditions of the game. Adding to its unique character, The Dunes is known for its popular Sunday brunch, a tradition that draws members together, creating a relaxed social atmosphere that extends beyond the fairways.
