Thinking About Living in FireRock Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands FireRock Country Club and the surrounding Fountain Hills golf market.
FireRock is a guard-gated, master-planned community south of central Fountain Hills, built around FireRock Country Club — the town's first private course, an 18-hole Gary Panks design. The community comprises 379 custom homesites plus three attached townhome enclaves: Balera (116 units), The Villas (including new Toll Brothers villas), and The Overlook. The country club is a separate for-profit corporation from the FireRock Community Association (the HOA); every homeowner is automatically a member of the HOA, but country club membership is a distinct, optional purchase.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole championship course was designed by Gary Panks and opened within the FireRock development in the early 2000s, laid into canyon washes and elevated tee boxes typical of the Fountain Hills/McDowell Mountains terrain.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Country club membership at FireRock is explicitly optional, including for residents living inside the gated community — reporting from the Fountain Hills Times and the FireRock Community Association itself puts the share of non-member residents at roughly 52%. Membership (Golf, Sports, and Dining/Social tiers) is available to residents and non-residents alike; there is no residency requirement to join.
