Scottsdale Golf Club Wins Women’s Golf Award

The Country Club at DC Ranch, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, has announced that they have been awarded the GEM Award by the Arizona Women’s Golf Association (AWGA). The Golf Endorsed by Members (GEM) program is designed to determine the best private golf club in Scottsdale where women can play. The GEM program also has the purpose of providing a voice to women who play a pivotal role in the development of the women’s golf market within private golf clubs in Scottsdale, which is a key factor in the growth of women’s golf.

Melanie Halpert, Director of Membership at The Country Club at DC Ranch, says, “Genuine, welcoming and warm in spirit, The Country Club at DC Ranch celebrates families and friends coming together to enjoy the best of times in a truly distinctive setting – including golf on DC Ranch’s classic course layout, redesigned by Tom Lehman and John Fought. It is one of the most classically designed courses in the Valley – resulting in a golf experience that is aesthetically more interesting and strategically more challenging.”

The GEM award was the result of a survey that included questions on seven target areas for private golf clubs. These include clubhouse and facilities; course conditions; playability, challenge, and enjoyment; customer service; food and beverage; merchandise availability; and overall value at the Scottsdale golf club. The results of the survey were reviewed in a blind format, which means they didn’t get to see the name of the golf club but only the scores and comments.

The 18-hole golf course at The Country Club at DC Ranch is located strategically on a knoll close to the McDowell Mountains. Players get to enjoy spectacular views from all 18 holes and they have something to offer to golfers of all levels, including kids and beginning players. This doesn’t mean, however, that the more advanced golfer will not find any challenge in the course’s length, deep bunkers, and subtle breaks on the greens.

Meanwhile, the 45,000 sq ft Hacienda Clubhouse is the star of The Country Club at DC Ranch, providing an appropriate venue for important events, including weddings and other social activities. It is designed to be a home away from home, offering a wide range of amenities and activities for all members of the family. These include the golf course, six tennis courts, resort pool, a grand event courtyard, teen room, kid’s club, fitness and performance center, boardroom, men’s and women’s lounges and locker rooms, conservatory private dining, mixed grill dining room, bar, wine room, ranch house pool restaurant, golf shop, and more.

The Country Club at DC Ranch offers upscale dining opportunities within a casual Southwest atmosphere. Its Ranch Hacienda-style clubhouse combines Old World architecture and historic Arizona elements for members and guests. The Mixed Grill restaurant offers a wide array of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and entrees inspired by traditional American cuisine but with a touch of southwestern flair. Theme nights are held occasionally as well as a la carte menus. It also offers a world class wine program for wine lovers.

The newest restaurant at The Country Club at DC Ranch is The Ranch House. It is designed to provide a farm to table experience in a casual atmosphere. It is designed for those who want to enjoy a relaxing lunch or dinner, an after workout smoothie, or a Sunday Brunch. The restaurant features a number of new specialties, including the Grilled Salmon Gyro, Ahi Poke Bowl, Ranch House Steak Wrap, Brussel Sprout Salad, and the Kale and Quinoa Salad.
