The Gallery at Dove Mountain
Marana / 888-437-4800
For true championship-caliber golf in a stunning desert mountain setting, it would be nearly impossible to surpass The Gallery at Dove Mountain. The Gallery, minutes north of Tucson, presents two distinctly different, yet equally thrilling golf courses, as well as a host of perfectly selected amenities and a beautifully designed community. 
    The Gallery’s South Course, designed by John Fought, is home to the World Golf Championships – Accenture World Match Play Championship. It blends European links-style golf challenges with a fabulous desert setting to create a truly one-of-a-kind playing experience. 
    By contrast, the North Course, designed by Fought and Tom Lehman, provides a dramatically different style of play. Winding its way through two picturesque desert canyons, each hole is enveloped by its surroundings and presents the player with a high-stakes game of risk/reward that is rarely rivaled in golf.
     Surrounding the golf venues, Dove Mountain presents a beautifully relaxed, exclusive living environment that matches exceptional  recreational amenities, such as a state-of-the-art sports facility, world-class dining and an extensive trail system with serene neighborhoods and luxurious homes.

Stone Canyon 
Oro Valley / 877-733-6630
Framed between the awe-inspiring Catalina and Tortolita mountain ranges, Oro Valley north of Tucson is a stunningly beautiful golf environment. It is not surprising then that this boulder-strewn landscape is home to picturesque private golf club in the entire state. 
    Aptly named Stone Canyon Golf Club is a master work of nature enhanced by the talented hand of golf course architect Jay Morrish. The course Morrish has created threads its way through massive boulders, dramatic rock formations and a forest of ancient saguaro cacti. Adding to the beauty are stunning mountain vistas, plunging waterfalls and colorful fields of wildflowers that perfectly frame the golf holes. Using the gentle natural contours of the canyon floor in conjunction with manmade obstacles, Stone Canyon provides a challenging but fair golf experience with consistently perfect playing conditions.
    Away from the golf course, the 1,400-acre community is equally beautiful and inviting. Residential options range from exceptional custom home sites and finished custom homes to luxurious Tuscan-style designer homes and elegant bungalows.  The lifestyle is further enhanced through a variety of amenities that will be served through a magnificent 30,000 square-foot clubhouse currently under development. When completed the clubhouse will provide both fine and casual dining, a health and fitness center, tennis club, lap pools, resort-style swimming facilities and a wonderful network of desert trails for hiking, biking and exploring.

Encanterra, a Trilogy Golf and Country Club
Queen Creek / 480-279-3992
When Encanterra, a Trilogy Golf and Country Club opens south and east of Phoenix in early 2008, it will be the first private club of its type to open in the Valley of the Sun in a generation or more. Unlike many of the modern private golf clubs in Arizona which emphasize the challenges of desert golf, Encanterra’s stunning Tom Lehman-designed course presents a golf experience that is more in line with those found a classic old-line country clubs.  
    To begin with, this private, 18-hole track features a traditional core-golf routing that allows enables the course folds into itself, keeping its interaction with the residential aspects of the community to a minimum and creating a superior playing environment where nothing is sacrificed in Encanterra’s pursuit to provide its members with the finest golf experience possible. Additionally, the course will use more than 260 acres of turfgrass with fairways peppered by mature shade trees and out-of-play areas filled with flowering plants. The course also will incorporate many flowing streams and shimmering ponds to add beauty and challenge.
    From a player’s perspective, Encanterra is a course that will challenge you, but that you’ll never find it to be unfair. In fact, the more you play it, the more you’ll fall in love with its engaging character and dramatic risk-reward opportunities. And, the staff takes special pride in serving the interests of discerning players, offering regular weekly games and world-class competitive golf events for members and their guests.
    Encanterra also provides a wonderful resort-style lifestyle with restaurants, pools, fitness facilities and spa, Encanterra energizes these amenities with a dynamic spirit of exploring your passions, connecting with friends and family and enhancing your personal wellness.
