What areas does Arizona Luxury Partners specialize in?

Arizona Luxury Partners focuses on luxury and lifestyle real estate across Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Arcadia, Biltmore, Silverleaf, DC Ranch, and other premier neighborhoods throughout the Valley.

Do you represent buyers, sellers, or both?

We represent both buyers and sellers. We tailor strategy based on your goals, whether that’s discreet acquisition, maximizing sale price, or timing the market for a smoother move.

Do you have access to off-market (private) luxury listings?

Yes. Many luxury homes trade privately through agent networks and direct outreach. We actively source off-market opportunities and can share private options when available and appropriate.

What is the difference between Paradise Valley and Scottsdale for luxury homes?

Paradise Valley is known for larger lots, privacy, and estate-style properties, while Scottsdale offers a wider range of luxury—from gated golf communities to modern new builds—plus more walkable lifestyle pockets.

Is now a good time to buy a luxury home in Arizona?

It depends on inventory, interest rates, and your timeline. We help you evaluate leverage (price, terms, concessions) and identify the best opportunities based on current market conditions and your goals.

Is now a good time to sell a luxury home in Arizona?

Luxury market conditions change by neighborhood and price point. We’ll review recent comps, active competition, and buyer demand to recommend pricing and a launch plan aligned with your timing and goals.

How do you price a luxury home accurately?

We price using a weighted analysis of recent comparable sales, current competition, and buyer behavior (days on market, showings, online engagement). We also adjust for lot, finishes, privacy, and functional layout.

What is a realistic timeline to sell a luxury home in Scottsdale or Paradise Valley?

Timelines vary widely by price, condition, and seasonality. We’ll set expectations using recent days-on-market data in your specific neighborhood and recommend a strategy to reduce time to contract.

What are common buyer objections in Arizona luxury listings?

Common objections include limited privacy, dated roof/HVAC, floor plan function (office needs), lack of pool, high HOA fees, and road noise. We address these proactively through prep, pricing, and positioning.

Do Arizona luxury buyers expect a pool?

Often, yes—especially for second-home and seasonal buyers. If a home doesn’t have a pool, we position the property carefully and evaluate whether adding one or offering a concession makes sense.

How important are HOA rules in Scottsdale and Phoenix?

HOA rules can affect rentals, renovations, exterior changes, landscaping, parking, and more. We recommend reviewing CC&Rs early and confirming any restrictions that matter to you before moving forward.

Can you help me understand Arizona property taxes on luxury homes?

Yes. Property taxes vary by county, assessed value, and special districts. We’ll help you estimate taxes using publicly available data and encourage you to confirm details with the county assessor or your tax advisor.

What is a CFD and how can it affect my yearly tax bill?

A CFD (Community Facilities District) is a special taxing district that can add an annual assessment to fund infrastructure and community improvements. We help you identify whether a property has CFD-related costs before you buy.

How do you market a luxury home beyond the MLS?

We combine high-end media, targeted digital campaigns, agent-to-agent outreach, and database marketing. For select properties, we also use private marketing strategies to reach qualified buyers discreetly.

Do you offer private (off-MLS) marketing for sellers?

Yes, when it aligns with your goals and your listing qualifies. Private marketing can be helpful for discretion, but we’ll discuss the tradeoffs in exposure and pricing leverage before choosing that route.

What preparations add the most value before listing a luxury home?

The best ROI typically comes from paint, lighting, landscaping/curb appeal, minor repairs, and making the home feel current and turnkey. We’ll prioritize items that reduce buyer objections and improve first impressions.

Should I stage a luxury home in Arizona?

Often, yes—especially if the home is vacant or has a unique layout. Staging can improve online engagement and help buyers understand scale, flow, and lifestyle, which can reduce time on market.

How do you handle negotiations in luxury transactions?

We negotiate using market data, buyer motivation signals, and risk management around inspections, appraisal, and timing. Our goal is to protect your bottom line while keeping the deal moving smoothly.

What contingencies are common in Arizona purchase contracts?

Common contingencies include inspection, appraisal, financing, and review periods for HOA documents and disclosures. We’ll explain each deadline and help you manage risk throughout escrow.

How does the appraisal process work on high-end homes?

Luxury appraisals rely on comparable sales, adjustments for finishes and lot value, and sometimes fewer true comps. We support the process by providing relevant comps, features, and context to help the appraiser.

What is an appraisal gap and how is it handled?

An appraisal gap occurs when the appraised value is below the contract price. Solutions can include renegotiation, increased down payment, or adjusted terms depending on the contract and the parties’ goals.

What should I know about Arizona inspections for luxury homes?

Luxury homes often benefit from specialized inspections like roof, pool/spa, sewer scope, HVAC, and smart-home/AV review. We help coordinate inspections and interpret findings so you can make informed decisions.

How do roof age and HVAC age affect negotiations in Arizona?

Older roofs and HVAC systems are common negotiation points because buyers factor replacement costs and insurance considerations. We help you price accordingly, disclose clearly, and negotiate repairs or concessions strategically.

Can you recommend vendors like inspectors, plumbers, or contractors?

Yes. We can share a list of reputable local vendors our clients commonly use. You’re always free to choose any provider you prefer, and we encourage checking licenses, insurance, and reviews.

Do you work with out-of-state buyers moving to Arizona?

Yes. We regularly help relocation and second-home buyers with virtual tours, neighborhood guidance, due diligence, and remote closing coordination so you can buy with confidence from anywhere.

What are the best luxury neighborhoods near top dining and shopping?

It depends on the lifestyle you want—walkability, golf, privacy, or views. We’ll narrow neighborhoods based on your priorities and provide a short list of areas that match your day-to-day needs.

How do you help buyers compare gated communities in Scottsdale?

We compare HOA rules, amenities, fees, lot sizes, renovation activity, resale trends, and proximity to key destinations. We also review current inventory to see what value looks like across communities.

Can you help me buy a luxury home with privacy and mountain views?

Yes. We’ll target neighborhoods and lots that prioritize privacy, setbacks, and view corridors, and we’ll evaluate factors like road noise, sightlines, and adjacent build potential before you commit.

How do I get started with Arizona Luxury Partners?

Start with a quick call or message to share your goals, timing, and must-haves. We’ll build a clear plan—whether you’re buying, selling, or both—and outline next steps to move forward efficiently.

Phoenix Country Club in central Phoenix: the course, amenities, homes, and membership

PhoenixGolf and Country Clubs

Oct 26

Written By Kyle Hermann

Your vision, your home, our expertise.

Phoenix Country Club has hosted the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship every year since 2017, and the 2026 event tees off November 12 at 7th Street and Thomas Road. That puts a 1921-era central Phoenix course, and the homes around it, in front of a national golf audience for a week. Here is what the club offers, what nearby homes are listed for right now, and how membership works.

The short answer Phoenix Country Club is a private club founded in 1899 that has been at 2901 N. 7th Street since 1921. It has an 18-hole Harry Collis course redesigned by Tom Lehman and John Fought, 10 lighted tennis courts, pickleball, three pools, a fitness center, and eight banquet venues. Homes in Redfin's Phoenix Country Club neighborhood were listed from $184,900 to $2,800,000 on October 26, 2026. The club does not publish membership fees, so you need to contact it directly.

The club at a glance

Founded: 1899 as a nine-hole course at Roosevelt and Third Street; incorporated October 25, 1900 (Wikipedia; AZ Big Media, November 10, 2022)
Current site: 2901 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85014, at 7th Street and Thomas Road, since 1921. The club bought a 160-acre tract for $56,000 in 1919 (Wikipedia; Phoenix Country Club website, viewed October 26, 2026)
Course: 18 holes, par 71, 6,848 yards per the club. Wikipedia lists 6,764 yards with a 72.4 course rating and 129 slope, likely from a different set of tees (Phoenix Country Club golf page; Wikipedia, viewed October 26, 2026)
Tournament: 2026 Charles Schwab Cup Championship, November 12 to 15, 2026, top 36 players in the season standings (AZ Big Media, October 24, 2026)
Homes for sale nearby: 23 for-sale listings in Redfin's Phoenix Country Club neighborhood, $184,900 to $2,800,000, median asking price $690,000 (Redfin, viewed October 26, 2026; median calculated by Arizona Luxury Partners)
ZIP code 85014: median sale price $459,865, down 12.4% year over year, three months ending September 2026; 66 homes sold in September (Redfin)

The golf course and its history

Harry Collis, a Chicago-area architect, laid out the 18 holes when the club moved to 7th Street and Thomas Road. The original course had oiled sand greens and grass fairways, according to AZ Big Media. Tom Lehman and John Fought rebuilt the course in the early 2000s. Fought called it a total rebuild: holes were lengthened, drainage improved, and greens, tees, and bunkers reshaped. Most sources date that work to 2002; one page on the club's own site says 2007.

The course is a parkland style layout with mature trees, a contrast with the desert courses farther north in the Valley. It hosted the PGA Tour's Phoenix Open in most years from 1932 until the event moved to TPC Scottsdale in the late 1980s. The club's course record of 61 is shared by several tour players, according to Wikipedia.

Day to day, the club describes an open tee policy with no tee times required, plus a driving range, putting green, and short game practice area.

Amenities beyond golf

The club's lifestyle page lists these facilities, as of October 26, 2026:

10 lighted tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a full-service tennis shop. The tennis facility has hosted the Arizona Tennis Classic, an ATP Challenger event, since 2019.
Three pools, including a heated 25-yard, six-lane lap pool open year round.
A fitness center with group classes such as yoga, barre, and Pilates, plus personal training.
Locker rooms with steam rooms, massage treatment rooms, and a barber shop.
Dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and eight banquet venues for private events.

Homes around the club

The club built Country Club Estates around the course to help fund the move in the 1920s. Wikipedia reports 52 homesites, 48 of which are still single-family homes, and four houses on the National Register of Historic Places: the Bennitt Mansion (1925), Craig Mansion (1928), Fred G. Hilvert House (1929), and Borah House (1931).

Redfin's Phoenix Country Club neighborhood is broader than that original subdivision. On October 26, 2026, it showed 23 homes for sale. The mix included condos and other attached units along Osborn Road and 7th Street, homes on nearby side streets such as Catalina Drive, Avalon Drive, and Flower Street from $690,000 to $1,115,000, and two homes on N. Country Club Drive at $1,595,000 and $2,800,000. Five of the 23 were asking $1,000,000 or more.

For broader context, ZIP code 85014 had a median sale price of $459,865 over the three months ending September 2026, down 12.4% from a year earlier, with 66 homes sold in September, per Redfin. That ZIP covers far more than the club area, so treat it as background, not a value for any one house.

How membership works

Phoenix Country Club is private. Its website does not publish dues, initiation fees, or a full list of rules. It links to pages on membership categories and privileges and offers a membership request form. The club's phone number is 602.263.5208.

Owning a home next to the course and holding a membership are separate things. A house in Country Club Estates does not come with a membership unless the club tells you otherwise in writing.

Practical steps if you are looking near the club

Call the club before you write an offer. If membership matters to you, ask about categories, current availability, any waitlist, and total first-year cost. Get it in writing.
Check historic status. Four homes in Country Club Estates are on the National Register of Historic Places. Ask the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office whether any local historic review applies before planning exterior changes.
Read the HOA or condo documents. Condo buildings nearby can carry very different dues, reserves, and rental rules. Ask for the budget, reserve study, and recent meeting minutes.
Plan around tournament week. The Schwab Cup brings spectators and event activity to the club each November, so check the dates if you are scheduling showings or a move.
Avoid this mistake: do not price a home off the ZIP code median or the neighborhood median asking price. With only a handful of sales near the club each month, value comes down to the specific street, lot, and condition. Ask for a comparable sales analysis built from recent closings.

The honest caveats

Very few homes sell near the club in any given month. Redfin's market page for its Phoenix Country Club neighborhood showed just one home sold in its latest period, which is why we do not quote a neighborhood median sale price here. Active listings change daily and asking prices are not sale prices. Sources also disagree on some course details, including the redesign year and yardage, which usually reflects different tees or different pages being updated at different times. Membership terms can change at any time, so confirm with the club.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Phoenix Country Club?

Phoenix Country Club is at 2901 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85014, near 7th Street and Thomas Road in central Phoenix. The club has been on this site since 1921, after moving from its original location at Roosevelt and Third Street.

Who designed the golf course at Phoenix Country Club?

Harry Collis designed the original 18-hole layout when the club moved to its current site around 1920. Tom Lehman and John Fought redesigned the course in the early 2000s; most sources date that work to 2002, while one page on the club's site lists 2007.

How much does it cost to join Phoenix Country Club?

The club does not publish dues or initiation fees on its website. To learn current costs, categories, and the application process, contact the club's membership office at 602.263.5208 or use the membership request form on its website.

Do you have to live in a certain neighborhood to join Phoenix Country Club?

The club's website does not state any residency requirement, and the homes around the course are separate from club membership. Buying a home in Country Club Estates or nearby does not by itself include a membership, so ask the club directly how membership works.

When is the Charles Schwab Cup Championship at Phoenix Country Club in 2026?

The 2026 Charles Schwab Cup Championship is scheduled for November 12 to 15, 2026, at Phoenix Country Club, with a field of the top 36 players in the PGA TOUR Champions season standings. The club's golf page lists the tournament week as November 9 to 15, 2026.

The bottom line

Phoenix Country Club pairs a golf club founded in 1899 with tennis, pickleball, pools, and fitness in a central Phoenix location. Homes around it range from attached units under $200,000 to estates on Country Club Drive, so price, building type, and historic rules matter more than the address alone. If membership is part of the plan, talk to the club early, since costs are not published.
