Thinking About Living in Moon Valley Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Moon Valley Country Club and the surrounding Central Phoenix / Arcadia-Biltmore golf market.
Moon Valley Country Club sits at the literal geographic center of the Moon Valley neighborhood in north-central Phoenix, a roughly 1,600-home area of 29 subdivisions established in the early 1960s. It is best known nationally as the site of Annika Sorenstam's historic 59 -- the first sub-60 round in LPGA Tour history -- shot at the 1997 Standard Register Ping tournament, which the club hosted annually from 1989 to 2003.
Golf & Course
The club's 18-hole championship course was designed by noted mid-century architect Dick Wilson. A second, separate 18-hole par-3 course ('MoonWalk') is also part of the club's golf offering. The club's tournament history -- 15 consecutive years as an LPGA Tour host, culminating in Sorenstam's record round -- gives it real national golf significance beyond its local private-club status.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Available sourcing consistently describes Moon Valley Country Club as a private club rather than a public or resort-style facility, but no public rate sheet, membership category list, or waitlist information was found in this research pass -- the club's own site restricts detailed membership terms to direct inquiry. Buyers should not assume homes in the surrounding Moon Valley neighborhood include or bundle club membership; no such arrangement was found, and the club appears to function as a standard private application-based club distinct from the residential neighborhood-association structure.
Living in Moon Valley Country Club
The Moon Valley neighborhood is a well-established, long-tenured community of mostly ranch-style homes (many renovated) on irrigated lots, prized for pride-of-ownership and mountain views, with the Phoenix Mountains Preserve (Lookout Mountain Preserve, North Mountain, Shaw Butte) immediately adjacent. Homes directly on the club's course boundary offer direct golf-course views, but this is a long-established open neighborhood rather than a gated golf-community subdivision.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Club amenities include tennis, pickleball, an aquatic center/pool, a fitness center, a restaurant/bar, a pro shop and event space, per the club's own site listings. Spa, bocce, and basketball facilities were not confirmed either way.
Location & Surrounding Area
North-central Phoenix, close to I-17, SR-51 and Loop 101, giving reasonably quick access to downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale.
