WYOMING



Join the Club

The Powder Horn Golf Community (800-329-0598  thepowderhorn.com), located in northern Wyoming just outside of Sheridan, is situated in a true wilderness area where neighbors quickly become friends.

Golf is the centerpiece amenity at The Powder Horn, home to a magnificent 27-hole course that has received a number of national recognitions for its spectacular views, beautifully manicured holes and overall environmental sensitivity. One of the golf club’s most active groups is The Powder Horn Ladies Golf Association (PHLGA), which holds weekly member events in the summer and an annual tournament, while serving as a social hub for lady players and their guests. Additional amenities include tennis courts, a swim center, fine dining at Remington’s and Western-style camaraderie at The Cowboy Bar.

In fact, The Powder Horn’s community spirit is one of its finest features, from a variety of social clubs and interest groups to an involved home owners’ association. And those residents are rightly proud of their growing community, which offers large homesites, cozy club cottages, unique deck homes and luxurious custom designs. If fabulous golf and welcoming neighbors are what you seek, look no further than The Powder Horn. 



NEW MEXICO



Natural Respect

Rainmakers (866-700-8439  rainmakersusa.com)  is a golf and recreational community on more than 1,000 scenic acres in south-central New Mexico. What makes this new development so special is the commitment right from the start to preserve the area’s pristine environment and honor the region’s cultural heritage.

The entire community and the new Rainmakers golf course by Robert Trent Jones II, which opens this spring, are members of the Audubon International Signature Program. No effort has been spared to protect the native flora and fauna, to conserve and manage the water resources and to build only the most energy-efficient homes. And that loving care for the land is Rainmakers’ best tribute to the First Americans who have lived in the area for thousands of years, an homage that will be symbolically represented by a 27-foot-tall bronze sculpture at the clubhouse entrance. Even the real estate offerings honor Indian traditions: in addition to custom homesite, the Pueblos at Rainmakers are two- to four-bedroom town homes inspired by nearby ancient cliff dwellings. 

Additional Rainmaker amenities include a restaurant and lounge, a fitness center with spa, pool and tennis facilities, and the adjacent Spencer Center for the Performing Arts. Immerse yourself in natural history with modern convenience at Rainmakers. 







ARIZONA



The Grand Life

Pine Canyon (866-779-5700  pinecanyon.net)  in northern Arizona is a golf community surrounded by federally protected forest land and just a short drive from Grand Canyon National Park.

The Pine Canyon Club features an exquisite golf course designed by architect Jay Moorish. The layout winds through evergreen forests and around trout-stocked lakes towards a climax on the “Double or Nothing” 19th hole with an island green where all matches can be settled in memorable style. The Pine Canyon Clubhouse is the place where members meet and relax, with amenities that include indoor/outdoor dining areas, a superb health and fitness facility, and a full-service spa and salon. The hiking trails are terrific and the new Camp Pine Canyon opens this year with sports, arts and entertainments for the kids.

The residential options at Pine Canyon offer a diversity that you’ll find nowhere else. From Mountain Vista Condominiums, Elk Pass Townhomes and Creekside Village residences to luxurious custom homes and mountain-view homesites, the rustic Pine Canyon architectural style fits this community to a tee. A year-round destination in Arizona awaits your family at Pine Canyon.
