Scottsdale, AZ — November 5, 2025 — Desert Mountain Club, recognized among the best, premiere golf club Scottsdale and recently ranked among the top 10 private clubs in America, today announced a new, unique opportunity for discerning buyers seeking an exclusive luxury golf and wellness lifestyle.
Across Scottsdale, virtually every premier private golf club now maintains a waitlist, reflecting record demand for luxury private golf club living since 2020. Desert Mountain is no exception, with its own growing waitlist driven by exceptional member satisfaction and limited turnover.
What truly sets Desert Mountain apart, however, is its unparalleled size, scale, and scope—featuring seven golf courses, multiple clubhouses, and an expansive collection of neighborhoods of more than 2,000 homes. These qualities uniquely position the community to offer opportunities not found elsewhere in Scottsdale.
Currently, approximately 80 homes include Desert Mountain Club membership access, some just listed, allowing qualified buyers approved for membership to begin enjoying the Desert Mountain lifestyle upon closing. This opportunity exists because certain properties carry an available membership, while others do not.
“These new listings reflect typical seasonal activity for this time of year,” said David Friedman, managing broker of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s at Desert Mountain. “However, buyers at Desert Mountain have options. Most are of the belief that all club communities in the Valley are full, and it is true that many are happy to wait because the home they love does not have a membership. However these new listings with membership are a prime chance for motivated buyers to find something exceptional right now.”
Membership demand is strong and attrition at Desert Mountain is at an all-time low, signaling extraordinarily high levels of member satisfaction. The Membership team at Desert Mountain continuously educates prospective members that applications are only being accepted by those purchasing a home within the community. Another important note; simply buying a home at Desert Mountain does not guarantee membership. The team regularly advises home buyers to pre-qualify for membership prior to closing on a home.
“Desert Mountain continues to set the bar for luxury private golf club Scottsdale living,” said Melanie Halpert, Director of Membership Sales at Desert Mountain Club. “We’re happy to help prospective members navigate the application process and nuances of private club membership.”
Because membership and homeownership go hand-in-hand at Desert Mountain, all hands are on deck both at the club and the on-site Russ Lyon real estate office. “Our relationship with the Russ Lyon real estate team helps create a seamless experience right from the start, and this is an exciting time for all of us. While the Club’s waitlist reflects strong demand, these membership-included homes create a rare and immediate path to experience the lifestyle our Members love.”
Homes range from $2 million to $25 million, spanning lock-and-leave casitas to grand mountain estates.
