The Renovation Trend at Scottsdale Golf Clubs

by

There are several country clubs in Scottsdale that have either just completed or are in the process of a renovation. It seems that all of the clubs are suddenly renovating to try to keep up with each other. Every club wants to boast that they have the newest and best facilities. Desert Highlands kicked off the trend when they renovated their clubhouse 5 years ago. Desert Mountain renovated their fitness center and spa last year. DC Ranch is finishing the construction of a new fitness center, spa, and pool.  Estancia just broke ground on a new fitness center and pool.

New members will benefit from the renovation and construction projects. In many cases, the new members get to use a beautiful new facility without going through the construction project, during which services are limited. Whether new members have to help pay for the renovations is different from club to club. In some cases, future members will incur an assessment to help pay for the new facilities, while in others they do not. For example, Desert Highlands Clubhouse Assessment is $70/month through 2019 and the Irrigation Assessment to renovate the golf course is $100/month through 2029. On the flip side, new members to Estancia will not have to pay the clubhouse assessment for the new fitness center. Only those who were members at the time of the vote will have to pay the assessment.

If you are interested in buying a home in a Scottsdale country club, I would be happy to help you sort through your options. Unlike some agents, I don’t restrict my services to only 1 or 2 clubs. I represent buyers throughout all of the golf clubs in Scottsdale. Feel free to reach out.

Desert Highlands Renovating Golf Course

by

The Desert Highlands Club is well known for its desert course designed by Mr Jack Nicklaus. The Club members have just approved a plan to update the irrigation system of the course and renovate the bunkers. The irrigation enhancement project involves a full system replacement of all pipe, sprinkler heads, wiring, and controls. The entire 5.5 miles of cart paths will also be replaced. The bunker renovation will include new shapes, sand, liners and drainage.

The Club is being careful to do the majority of the work in the off season. In the summer of 2018, the putting course will be closed for construction but none of the golf course will be impacted. During the summer of 2019, the work begins on the main golf course. At least nine holes of the golf course will be open for play at all times. At no time will the entire golf course be closed.

The Desert Highlands members are being assessed for this renovation. They have 3 options to pay (1) $9600 lump sum, (2) $800/month for 12 months, or (3) $100/month for 120 months.

I try to keep my readers informed about any major events at Scottsdale golf clubs. Feel free to reach out to discuss any Scottsdale community or country club. I sell homes throughout Scottsdale and specialize in the finer golf communities of North Scottsdale including Desert Highlands, Estancia, Silverleaf, Troon North, Desert Mountain and Troon Country Club.

What Makes Desert Highlands Golf Club a Platinum Club?

by

When a private golf club is named a Platinum Club of America, a number of factors play into distinguishing it from around 6,000 other clubs. These include a History of Excellence, the Quality of Membership, the Spirit of Generosity in its Community and more. When you consider these aspects, it is no wonder that Desert Highlands Golf Club has received the Platinum Club distinction five consecutive times and counting.

Desert Highlands Golf Club is proud to have maintained its Platinum Club status since 1997 and strives to continue along the path of excellence. Many awards and accolades have been bestowed upon Desert Highlands Golf Club, such as being ranked in the “Best Private Golf Courses in the U.S.” and “Best Courses in Arizona” by Golf Digest. It was the inaugural home of the Skins game and the first true “desert” golf course. It has received widespread acclaim not only for golf but for tennis, architecture and design as well.

Home Selling Tip: 4 Cost Efficient Alternatives to Remodeling

by

Improving your Troon home can greatly increase its value when it comes time to sell, but it is possible to overdo it. With the rise in popularity of home improvement shows, Pinterest and DIY projects, a buyer may be more willing to put the money and time in to make a home their own than to pay top dollar for a property that’s not quite what they want.

Instead of risking a pricey investment, you may want to consider more cost-efficient alternatives to remodeling. Here are 5 ways to forego remodeling and still make your home sparkle:

1. Repaint in neutral tones. You’ll appeal to far more buyers than if your home features a whole rainbow of flashy colors. Repainting is a simple and cheap way to add some sophistication to an older home.

2. Clean it up. A clean home is essential and can sometimes be the difference between selling your home and not. Tidy up, but also make sure the windows, baseboards, and carpets look like new.

3. Add plants near the front door. Add some curb appeal to your home! Placing a few potted plants near the entrance will do just that, and it won’t hurt your wallet.

4. Refinish the cabinets. Many sellers will opt to have new cabinetry installed to class up their kitchen. However, staining or refinishing your cabinets instead can do the trick at a fraction of the cost.
