Initially developed by Scott Miller Design, the magnificent Scottsdale Golf Club DC Ranch golf course was re-designed in 2002 by the Tom Lehman-John Fought tandem and has been drawing rave reviews ever since. The current restoration project of the Par 71, 6,888 yard layout includes the installation of a new greenside bunker stabilization system and a blend of two new sands enabling improved water drainage and drier and enhanced playing conditions. In all, 33 greenside bunkers will undergo the procedure before re-development moves on to the fairway bunkers. “These improvements will further elevate the stature of our golf course, providing our members and their guests with an unsurpassed round of golf,” said Dick Hyland, director of golf at CCDC Ranch,The Country Club at DC Ranch. “Our bunkers throughout the course will be in pristine shape and will be able to recover quicker to perfect playing conditions after any inclement weather.”

Tennis

The six tennis courts at Scottsdale Club DC Ranch will be reconditioned in the US Open (USTA) blue surface color providing players with better sight lines and enhanced play. Five of the Club’s tennis courts will be lit for nighttime action as well, giving the nearly 150 adults and active juniors who hit the courts regularly more time to play. Additionally, a pro shop and snack bar will be added later this fall to the Scottsdale Golf Club.
