Looking for a Golf Community in Flagstaff?
US Golf Living can connect you with a local real-estate specialist who knows Flagstaff's golf communities.
Flagstaff's golf-living market centers on a single, exceptionally well-resourced private club: Forest Highlands Golf Club, a guard-gated community built around two 18-hole courses (the Canyon Course and the Meadow Course) in the ponderosa pine forest just south of the city. It is the clear flagship golf anchor for the Flagstaff area — no other private, gated, or bundled golf club of comparable scale was found in or immediately around the city during this research pass.
Membership & Access Patterns
Forest Highlands links golf membership closely to property ownership. The club's own 2025 membership materials describe a 'New Owner Capital Contribution' fee (reported at $115,750) due from new property owners in addition to standard monthly dues (reported at $1,525/month for 2026) — a purchase-triggered payment structure, effectively making club membership the standard path for anyone buying property inside the gates, even though it is not literally included in the home's purchase price. The club also separately sells a non-owner 'Special Membership' (reported in the $110,250-$150,000 range) to buyers who want course access without owning property there. Confirm current-year figures, and whether the capital contribution is legally mandatory versus simply customary, directly with the club before purchase.
