Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale is exceptional. My wife and I joined two years ago and love the outstanding hospitality. Staff work tirelessly to make us feel valued, meeting every need. Top-notch food, responsive wait staff, helpful pro shop team, and friendly beverage cart crew led by Elise. . They remember our names and serve us promptly. Grounds crew keeps the course pristine. Proud to host guests. Fantastic! Keep up the good work.

The food here was very good. Unfortunately due to the nature of the visit which was a Celebration of Life event, by the time I sat down to eat my food it was cold. The items that were not cold were very delicious and the dessert was devine. The wait staff was fabulous as well.

I had a chance to play here. We played the Dunes and Arroyo. Both 9’s were immaculate. They looked tournament ready. We never saw a ranger but it was unnecessary. We played as a foursome in a bit less than 4 hours from a 9:06 tee time. Both 9’s had several interesting holes. The greens were very quick but smooth. If I had to nitpick, the practice tees were on mats. Doubt I’ll ever get another opportunity to play there but it was great.

What separates a clubhouse from clubbing to house? About six gin and tonics, a strict dress code, and significantly more judgment when you miss the beat—or the green. Gainey was an experience—a gentle wind tousling my hair like a shampoo commercial, the satisfying clink of a 3-putt, and the constant existential crisis that is my pitching wedge. Now, in every other setting, wedges are beloved. A wedge of crisp iceberg lettuce? Delightful. Wedging my hand into the cookie jar? Heroic. But on the golf course? The wedge betrays me like Brutus did Caesar—except with more sand and fewer togas. The Phoenicians, in their infinite wisdom, surely did not intend for the term wedge to become synonymous with failure. Which is why I propose a motion: the W engraved on the club’s bezel be flipped—into an M. M for miss. M for maybe next time. M for my God, not again. It's only fair that the tool responsible for so many bunker-side breakdowns wear its shame up front. That said, the sand was immaculately raked, and the greens were lightning quick. 1 million out of 10. Would duff again.

Beautiful! We had graduation for our small private school here! Everything was very classy and nice! We had a dinner after - well catered and delicious! Would recommend this place!
