Golf

Mirabel opened its course in 2001 and has been receiving rave reviews ever since. As Scottsdale’s premier golf club, it is one of the most honored private golf courses in the Valley and has been regularly recognized by Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and The Arizona Republic as among the best private golf clubs in the United States.

Adding to its list of distinguished honors, Mirabel was recently ranked Best Private Golf Club in Arizona by AZ Golf Insider Magazine, and this month Golf Digest rated Mirabel 14th greatest course in AZ and 196th in the world.

A Tom Fazio design, Mirabel’s 7,147 yard course plays to a par-71 and is suitable for golfers of all levels. The thoughtful design includes generous landing areas, pristine greens and forward tee positions that create an experience both tough and enjoyable. Expansive greens offer subtle but forgiving breaks that challenge even experienced golfers. Over the years, Mirabel has been host to some of the most well-known players in the world.

Throughout the United States Tom Fazio golf courses are considered among the finest, offering exciting golf along courses that meld gracefully into the natural terrain that surrounds them. Mirabel is one of the Valley’s most scenic courses as the fairways and greens blend into the beautiful surrounding Sonoran Desert landscape and offer amazing mountain views.

The highly qualified staff greets every member by name and Mirabel’s caddie program is available to assist with course strategy, give insight into the nuances of the terrain and aid in reading the greens.

The member-owned and controlled private club located in North Scottsdale offers golf and social memberships. Property ownership is not required for membership, but availability is limited. Member benefits include access to the award winning Tom Fazio golf course, exceptional fine and casual dining, social activities, championship-caliber Har-Tru clay tennis courts and comprehensive tennis programs and state-of-the-art spa and fitness facilities and extensive health and wellness programs.

Remember the days when going to the Phoenix Open meant hiding your cell phone in your shoe, hidden purse compartment, or some other secret location to get it past the security gate? Well, those days are no more as cell phones are now an allowed electronic at the tournament. In fact, tournament sponsors are encouraging patrons to bring their cell phones to get an up-close-and-personal Phoenix Open experience.
