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.

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.

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.
