Major Course Renovations Underway

Golf aficionados will be excited to learn about the latest revitalization efforts at some of the area’s premier courses. The North Course at The Boulders Resort & Spa has recently reopened after a significant five-month renovation that concluded on October 13, 2025. The updates included restoration of green surfaces and a conversion from bentgrass to TifEagle Bermuda turf, aiming to create a top-notch golfing experience. The measures also involved laser leveling and resurfacing of tee boxes, highlighting a dedication to quality.

Just a few weeks later, on November 1, 2025, Quintero Golf Club also reopened its doors following an impressive multi-million dollar renovation by the original architect, Rees Jones. This overhaul targeted all 18 green complexes, improving irrigation systems along with enhancements to the practice facility and clubhouse. With updates that included new drainage and liners for the course’s bunkers, and the addition of Augusta white sand to the bunkers, players can look forward to a thoroughly refreshed experience.

Innovations and New Developments

Not stopping there, Rancho Manana Golf Club in Cave Creek has taken significant steps to enhance player experience, constructing a new steel bridge to streamline play. It’s these thoughtful amenities that elevate the overall enjoyment of the game.

Looking to the future, golf enthusiasts can get excited about a brand-new property scheduled to open in summer 2026: the Scottsdale Golf Retreat at Troon North. Offering 26 luxury suites alongside premium amenities, this retreat promises an upscale haven for golfers seeking relaxation after a long day on the course.

Changes on the Horizon for the Mesquite Golf Club

In an interesting twist, plans have been submitted to transform the Mesquite Golf Club at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa from a 27-hole layout down to 18 holes. Dubbed Copper Residences, this redevelopment project will not only offer luxurious condos and single-family homes but is also anticipated to result in significant water conservation when compared to maintaining a full-size golf course.

Major renovations and re-investments are set to take place at the Westin Kierland, which is owned by Host Hotels and Resorts. However, plans are still quite preliminary, with formal discussions and meetings regarding the transformation yet to be scheduled.

The Future of Golf in Phoenix-Scottsdale

As 2026 approaches, the excitement surrounding the golf scene in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area is palpable. With a blend of stunning, desert-lined fairways and striking mountain courses, the region is poised to offer a delightful golfing experience to players of all skill levels.
