GOLF COMMUNITY GUIDE
DC Ranch
A master-planned community at the base of the McDowell Mountains, with four villages, miles of trails and Market Street close to home.
DC Ranch began as a working cattle ranch and became one of North Scottsdale’s best-known planned communities, with its first residents moving in in 1997. It is made up of four villages: Country Club, Desert Camp, Desert Parks and Silverleaf. Between them you will find condos and townhomes, single-family homes near neighborhood parks, and custom estates against the mountains. Paths connect it all to two community centers and Market Street, so a lot of daily life happens close to home. One thing buyers should know early: the Country Club at DC Ranch is private, and membership is separate from owning a home here.
