Desert Highlands is an 850 acre residential golf community in North Scottsdale. Desert Highlands is located on the south slope of Pinnacle Peak, one of the area’s prominent natural landmarks. Membership comes with home ownership and stays with the land. Current membership fee is $205,000 and is due at closing on a Desert Highlands property.

Members enjoy more than just fine golf in a beautiful lush Sonoran Desert setting. There’s jogging and walking trails, and tennis facilities throughout the community. Enjoy the 18 hole putting course, 7,000 square foot fitness center, and award winning clubhouse. There is an outstanding tennis program with 13 tennis courts: four grass courts, six clay courts, and three hard surface LayKold courts.

Desert Highlands attend to security includes 24/7 patrolling, medical-emergency fast response, visitor control and access, quick-to-house alarm response and package hold at security front gate, to name but a handful of protection amenities.

Neighboring communities of Eagles Glen (to the east), Desert Skyline (to the west), and The Peak (to the south) are gated communities shown on the Desert Highlands map. Two small subdivisions, Casas De Pasas and Tres Casas, are just south of Desert Highlands. The back resident-only entrance to Desert Highlands goes through the gated Pinnacle Peak Place of 80 homes near Pima Rd.

Ladera Vista and Sonoran Highlands are two established private gated custom home communities far away from any busy streets.

Location, location, location: A wide array of goods and services, medical facilities and schools are just minuets away. Continue down the road for the galleries and charm of Old Town Scottsdale or up the road to Carefree’s funky western vide.
