Fire Rock Country Club is a member-owned premier private club located slightly northeast of Scottsdale, Arizona. The Club golf venues include an 18-hole championship golf course. The 18-hole course, designed by Gary Panks, opened in 2000 and was voted by the Arizona Republic as the “Best New Golf Course,” and it has continued to live up to its lofty status ever since.

The course is meticulously crafted from the desert terrain, with lush, rolling fairways that hug canyon washes, elevated tee boxes exposing spectacular scenery, and undulating greens that provide the ultimate risk-reward opportunities on every hole. In 2019, the bunkers were renovated. In 2025, Stadium Zoysia was installed on all tees, fairways, and surrounds, along with a new irrigation system.

The Club offers unparalleled golf, exquisite dining, and other unsurpassed amenities, including tennis, fitness, swimming, and exceptional dining. What separates the Club from others is its down-home charm and restful escape from everyday life.
