Thinking About Living in Tatum Ranch Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Tatum Ranch Golf Club and the surrounding Cave Creek & Carefree golf market.
Tatum Ranch Golf Club anchors the Tatum Ranch community in the northeast corner of Cave Creek — a large, 1980s-era master-planned development (created in 1988) of roughly 3,400 homes across about 30 different subdivisions, several of which are separately gated. The club is managed by Arcis Golf, a national private-club operator, and runs a tiered non-equity membership program rather than an invitation-only model.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is priced and open-enrollment: a $25,000 Full Golf Membership is the top tier, with cheaper Junior Executive, Fitness/Social, Clubhouse, and Social tiers below it, each carrying its own monthly dues. There is no indication homeowners in Tatum Ranch are required to join, and no indication membership is bundled into any home purchase — it is a straightforward pay-to-join private club that happens to sit inside a large residential community.
