People who choose to live in Rio Verde do not purchase a residence as much as they buy into a lifestyle, a lifestyle unique among active adult communities. What Rio Verde offers in terms of amenities can best be described as a banquet, which you can enjoy to your heart’s content.

The 735-acre, low-density community features custom homes and charming villas which are home to nearly 1,800 residents, a savvy, sophisticated clientele who come here with high expectations from 39 states and four foreign countries. They come for sensory pleasures largely unknown to city dwellers, for the spirit Rio Verde promises, and for its tapestry of endless beauty and variety.

Rio Verde Country Club features two 18-hole championship golf courses which are blanketed with an abundance of grass. This is not desert golf, nor is it target golf. Rio Verde features traditional greenbelt courses…with a soft desert feel…more Midwestern in style with a lot more grass than customary in a desert setting.

The par 72 Quail Run course was developed in 1973, and the par 71 White Wing course opened for play 10 years later. Both courses offer spectacular mountain views, and with four different tee options, provide a suitable challenge no matter what your skill level.

In 2007, the country club approved a $6.5-million budget for the revitalization of its two golf courses and commissioned Tom Lehman and his design group to modernize both layouts. Our Quail Run makeover was completed on schedule and under budget, with results exceeding even the most optimistic expectations. Lehman’s team is currently applying its magic touch to our White Wing course -- revitalizing 10 holes in phase one -- completing the full program with the remaining eight holes in 2009. No member assessments were necessary to fund the project.

In addition to our two fine golf courses, members are treated to an events calendar for men, women, 9-holers, and couples that defies description. Locals describe it as non-stop golf, but feel free to pick and choose from the array of events that suits your pace.

Our 27,000-square foot contemporary, southwestern-style clubhouse is the center of Rio Verde social life, offering varied dining and communal options. In our award-winning clubhouse, your culinary choices include everything from wood-fired oven pizzas and a sumptuous menu of casual food favorites and spirits, to our formal Copper Room where our professional chefs and wait staff stand ready to make your dining visits a culinary delight. For those very special events and social gatherings, our spacious ballroom, among the largest of private clubs in Arizona, stands ready to regale you with an inviting, enticing ambiance.
