The Estancia Club

Estancia's masterfully designed Tom Fazio golf course and the distinctive member-friendly, private-equity club structure are key elements in making the club stand out in one of the world's most popular golf destinations.

    Estancia, in Scottsdale, Arizona, is undoubtedly one of the world's premier golf communities. Golf Digest named it the "Best New Private Course" in 1996. It was honored by Golf Magazine among the "100 Greatest Courses in the U.S." and as one of the "100 Greatest Courses in the World."

    Discovery Land Company Chairman and CEO Michael S. Meldman guided the development of Estancia from its inception. Mr. Meldman was responsible for articulating the company's vision for the club. He personally supervised every step of its creation to ensure that both the golf club and the community lived up to their promise.

    According to Mr. Meldman, the stunning natural beauty of Estancia distinguishes it from Arizona's premier developments. Estancia wraps around the northern edges of Pinnacle Peak, a towering granite spire that is a well-known Scottsdale landmark. The beauty of the Great Sonoran Desert combines with rugged mountain vistas and breathtaking city views for an incredible living experience.

    Adding to the unique lifestyle offered at Estancia is the privacy and exclusivity of the community's elegant, low-density neighborhoods. Originally zoned for 800 lots, only 267 homesites were made available in this 640-acre community. Membership in The Estancia Club is obtained by invitation only.
