Rio Verde Golf Homes, Properties, Real Estate
Rio Verde, one of Arizona’s pioneers in adult living, is situated on 765 acres twenty miles east of Pima Road just north of Fountain Hills. The west boundary of Rio Verde abuts the 20,000-acre McDowell Mountain Regional Park, the south boundary lies adjacent to the Fort McDowell Indian Community, and the east property line abuts the 2.9 million-acre Tonto National Forest. Rio Verde offers two 18-hole championship quality golf courses, the Quail Run and the White Wing. Both golf courses were designed by Fred Bolton and opened in the 1970’s, and Gary Panks recently directed the renovation of both courses. The Quail Run and the White Wing are traditional grass tee to green courses, while the practice facilities include a driving range, putting and chipping greens. The clubhouse, at 27,000 square feet, is a beautiful facility that was designed for indoor and outdoor enjoyment with floor plans that maximize sunset views from outdoor terraces. The clubhouse features a pub area along with an enlarged grill and terrace area offering service and food in a friendly and casual atmosphere. A separate dining area offers cuisine in a more formal setting, and a large pro shop services all your golfing needs.
Other amenities include the Oasis Community Center that features fitness facilities, recreational activities including arts and crafts, and a library. The Rio Verde Tennis Club has six tennis courts (two lighted), a pro shop and a year round tennis pro who provides the very best instruction and tennis programs possible. There are also two heated swimming pools, a spa, a ranch cookout facility, and an inter-denominational church that serves both the Protestant and Catholic religions. One homeowner must be at least 55 years of age. Single-family detached homes are priced from $300,000 to $850,000 with some over $1 million plus. Townhouse attached residences are priced from $250,000 to $750,000. Typical residential lots range in size from one-third to one-half acre and are priced from $150,000 to $500,000 plus, depending on location. Nestled between the McDowell Mountains and the Tonto National Forest, Rio Verde offers mountain views as majestic as any in the great state of Arizona, and is just minutes from Scottsdale and only 45 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport.

Featured Holes
Quail Run- The par-3 4th hole is 195 yards and is guarded in front by water, requiring a carry of 180 yards. The tee shot also must clear two very prominent trees, which are definitely in play. A large bunker on the right and a palm tree to the left also guard the green. This is arguably the most difficult par-3 on the course.
White Wing- The par-4 11th hole is 380 yards with a dogleg left. The challenge of this hole is that there is out of bounds on the left and right off the tee. There is also a water hazard on the right side of the landing area from 150 yards out from the green, which poses a great challenge
