Cheapest Way to Buy a Desert Mountain Golf Membership

Desert Mountain is the most exclusive gated golf community in Scottsdale for a reason...it isn't cheap!

Desert Mountain memberships are currently priced at $325,000 through the Desert Mountain membership office. The only way to purchase a Desert Mountain membership is either through the office directly or through a real estate transaction.

Unbelievably, with the crash of the Scottsdale real estate market it is now cheaper in many cases to buy a Desert Mountain lot including a full golf membership, for less than the price of the membership alone. That is called an opportunity of a lifetime. In May a lot in the village of Apache Peak sold with full Desert Mountain golf membership for $255,000. Another similar deal took place in June with a custom home lot in Cintarosa selling for $275,000, also with a full golf membership.

There are 2 lots currently on the market for $250,000 with memberships included. Call us for full details or check out all available lots at Desert Mountain. Speak with a Desert Mountain real estate specialist at 1-800-300-0263 or visit www.DesertMountainHomesOnline.com.

Summer Dining at Desert Mountain Restaurants

The Desert Mountain Golf Club has some great summer dinning specials this summer.

After a long day of Sunday golfing at the Desert Mountain Golf club stop by Cochise-Geronimo Clubhouse and enjoy the fabulous Summer Sunset Buffet. The food is great and the Scottsdale sunsets are beautiful up there with mountain and golf views. Who said Mondays were boring? You can take the family to Constantino's at the Chiricahua Clubhouse where you can make your own personalized pasta and pizzas. Not only is the meal fun to design, you can enjoy the city light views on their deck over the Chiricahua golf course. Wednesdays at Apache are also great! Enjoy a steak and some wine from their extensive wine menu. I enjoy sitting on the deck over looking the Apache golf course. Finally, who doesn't love a good old fish fry? The Arizona Grill at Outlaw Clubhouse offers one every Friday night. The food is great and you can enjoy a relaxing evening with other Desert Mountain members. Hope to see you at one of special summer dining events at the Desert Mountain Golf Club!

Are There Any Beautiful Foreclosures in Desert Mountain?

Yes! When looking for a home in Desert Mountain Scottsdale for you and your family you may want to seriously consider the value of foreclosures. Many foreclosures in Desert Mountain are priced well below the ordinary value of the property because they are in varying degrees of disrepair. I have seen a few perfect exceptional foreclosures in Desert Mountain that are literally move in ready.

There is one such home on the market right now.

Most foreclosures, however, need a good cleaning inside, a few appliances, perhaps paint or carpet, landscape trimming and a pool clean-up. We work with contractors that can easily do all of this on your behalf effortlessly.

Why are these homes in a state of disrepair?

These homes were often owned by those in financial distress and may have been empty for some time before being foreclosed. Upkeep of the home is a low priority to anyone facing foreclosure. Because the owner was in financial distress they usually stopped paying the landscaper, cleaner and pool man a long time ago. The owner may also have sold some appliances for extra cash, including the refrigerator, washer and dryer. The foreclosures also usually have overgrown landscaping and a green pool.

Why are they priced so low?

The shabbiness of these properties is the primary reason they are priced so low. The banks or lenders that own the properties want to dispose of the asset as soon as possible. They are often willing to take less than the value of the property just to get it off their books.

The fact is that their loss is actually your gain. The disrepair to the properties are usually not expensive to repair. Your willingness to look beyond the unkempt appearance of the homes can translate into big savings for you. Ultimately, the small price to rehab a foreclosure can make it one of the best real estate investments in your property portfolio.

Desert Mountain Tennis Facilities are World Class - the Clay Tennis Courts are My Favorite!

The Desert Mountain Tennis Center is an exceptional facility, recognized as one of the best in the nation. It is called "The Wimbledon of the West". The Tennis Center features a beautiful stadium grass court, five state of the art clay (har-tru) courts, and three hard courts. It is very rare for a Tennis Center to offer play on all 3 court surfaces within the same facility. This is especially true in Arizona.

The Stadium Grass court is an aesthetic work of art, making for a wonderful centerpiece for the entire Sonoran clubhouse. desert mountain homes for sale scottsdale az

desert mountain homes for sale scottsdale az

The grass court surface is one of the finest in the world. Most of our clients are very impressed by how immaculate the grass courts always appear. When we show them the Clay courts, usually they will show less enthusiasm. Frankly, the clay courts look gray, dull and odd. You can even see foot prints in the court surface. But that is exactly why I think the clay courts are so cool! The clay Har-Tru courts use a Hydro Court system which is essentially a clay tennis court on top of a controlled water reservoir. The water level is completely level under the court, allowing evaporation and capillary action to provide water to the playing surface evenly. How neat is that? The clay courts provide a softer playing surface. So although they aren't as pretty as the Grass Courts, they are extremely popular with Desert Mountain members. If you haven't played on this type of court, you must try it!

Desert Mountain is One of the Most Secure Gated Golf Communities in Scottsdale

Desert Mountain is an extremely secure community. It is one of the most secured gated golf communities in Scottsdale.

Scottsdale gated homes are quite common. However, gated communities in Scottsdale will generally only have one electronic gate. It is very easy for a car to follow another car in through an automatic gate. Automatic gates thus provide very little additional security. They only give the illusion of security. Scottsdale gated communities and GUARD gated communities are very different. A Guard Gated community has an actual guard at the gate to determine who is allowed into the community. This is much better security.

Now imagine a DOUBLE guard gated community, with a guard at the front gate to the community, plus an electronic gate within each village of the community. Sounds very secure doesn' t it? That is exactly why Desert Mountain is a unique gated community in Scottsdale.

Desert Mountain is a GUARD gated community with a guard at the front gate 24 hours/day, 7 days per week. Each village within Desert Mountain also has a second controlled-access gate. All homes within Desert Mountain are thus double guard gated making it is thus one of the most secure communities in Scottsdale. There is also a Desert Mountain community patrol that continually monitors the community 24/7. You will often see the security officers driving around Desert Mountain checking on the homes.
