Grayhawk
The Grayhawk Golf Club Community is located in North Scottsdale where the luxuriant, green landscaping contrasts dramatically with the gorgeously austere Sonoran Desert. The two interconnected, gated and guarded neighborhoods offer residents a tantalizing range of living choices. Resale homes are available at more than 1,000 to almost 3,000 square feet for $391,000 to $899,000. Forty-nine custom lots run from an acre for $350,000 to 3.75 acres for $1,125,000. The life care retirement community within Grayhawk, Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza Companies, has won numerous awards, including The 2000 Gold Nugget Grand Award for Best Seniors’ Project for Active Adults from the Pacific Coast Builders’ Conference. The area is known for its excellent schools, and residents will appreciate the close proximity to a Scottsdale Healthcare medical campus.
Both beautiful golf courses were designed by legendary, award-winning designers, the Raptor Course by Tom Fazio, and Talon by David Graham and Gary Panks. Both are par-72 courses that play at right around 7,000 yards; the Talon Course appeared on Golf Magazine’s list of “Top 10 You Can Play.� Golfers will have plenty of opportunity to improve their swing at the Peter Kostis/Gary McCord Learning Center, ranked Number 2 among U.S. golf schools by Golf Magazine. Instructors offer half-day to three-day workshops, corporate lessons, and a junior instruction camp. The club is open on a pay-as-you-play basis for residents and guests alike.
Active living at Grayhawk includes thirty miles of hiking & biking trails, tennis courts, and swimming pools, and an award-winning, 40,000-square-foot clubhouse with golf shop, locker rooms, and two restaurants. Quill Creek Café offers casual fine dining in the form of classic American and Southwestern cuisine; Phil’s Grill satisfies a hardy taste for relaxing in soft leather chairs with some excellent food while watching the game on two big-screen TVs.
