GOLF COMMUNITY GUIDE
Ancala
A guard-gated club community in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, with a Perry Dye course and room to spread out.
Ancala sits higher than most of Scottsdale, tucked against the McDowell Mountains just off Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Via Linda. Behind the gate, 850 acres of Sonoran Desert hold a Perry Dye golf course and a little over 500 custom homesites, many of them on hillsides that look back across the Valley toward Camelback. It is quieter and more residential than the resort communities to the north, and closer to the rest of the city. One thing buyers should know early: membership at Ancala Country Club is separate from owning a home here.
