Membership in The Stone Canyon Club has been sought after since its initial opening in January of 2000. This luxury Stone Canyon home provides an opportunity for entrance into this prestigious club. Making this combination even more attractive is the recent reduction in the membership deposit to just $20,000 for a full golf membership. The Stone Canyon Club’s golf course has been consistently ranked in the Top 100 by various publications such as Golf Digest and Golfweek, and truly is the most spectacular desert golf course setting imaginable. Designed by renowned golf course architect Jay Morrish, Stone Canyon makes excellent use of its unique topography, winding through canyons of saguaro cactus and other-worldly boulders. Reaching over 7,300 yards from the back tees, the course can be challenging for the most accomplished player but remarkably can also be played easily by even a novice. Six different sets of tees and often many more tee pads on each hole allow a shot to roll almost the entire way from tee to green, thereby providing even junior golfers an opportunity for fun. The relative lack of forced carry and variety of tee placements makes the course enjoyable for all skill levels.
One feature making The Stone Canyon Club unique is its assortment of practice facility options for golfers. There are four different practice putting surfaces and chipping areas to be utilized, two separate teeing areas for full swing shots, a fairway bunker complex for iron shots, multiple greenside bunkers, a variety of chipping areas featuring closely mown areas and rough, and finally a 19th hole that allows for precision wedge shots to be dialed in. Some members and their guests also use this 19th hole to settle bets not completed in the regulation 18 holes during their round. The thought which went into the practice facilities also translates onto the golf course.
Many of today’s residential golf communities are planned around the best layout for properties first and then an architect is tasked with fitting a golf course in the left over space between homesites. Stone Canyon’s developer reversed this trend by giving Jay Morrish free reign to develop the best set of golf holes conceivable and subsequently laying out the property to integrate around the golf course, all the while providing ample buffer room. Another exceptional benefit of this approach is that even at capacity the golf course won’t seem crowded because nearly every hole is separate from the next, with very little visibility of two holes at once.
While the golf course is the highlight of membership in The Stone Canyon Club for most, the club also offers a wide range of amenities and activities which enhance the lifestyle of each Stone Canyon resident. A phenomenal Health & Fitness Facility awaits members interested in leading the ultimate healthy lifestyle. Exercise physiologists, yoga instructors, and masseuses are among the many professionals available to make your life as stress free as possible. A lap pool and wading pool are the featured outdoor amenities perfect for a sunny Tucson day of relaxation. Indoor and outdoor jacuzzis also await your use, as do saunas in the exquisitely appointed locker rooms. Other amenities include: cardiovascular equipment, free weights, universal machines, Pilate’s classes, yoga classes, massage therapy, chiropractic services. tennis courts, and a variety of exercise programs.
