Is The Mirabel Club the most exclusive golf experience in Scottsdale? With a membership cap of just 275 golf members and zero public Reddit mentions despite being one of Arizona's premier private clubs, Mirabel has mastered the art of discretion while delivering top-tier golf. It ranks among the finest private clubs in Scottsdale.
Located in North Scottsdale at the base of Pinnacle Peak, The Mirabel Club represents everything a private golf club should be: exceptional course conditions with the Valley's finest bent grass greens, a member-owned equity structure, and a 37,000-square-foot Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired clubhouse.
Tom Fazio's Design at Mirabel
Tom Fazio designed The Mirabel Club as one of six courses bearing his signature in Arizona, alongside notable layouts like Whisper Rock Golf Club (2005), Grayhawk's Raptor Course (1996), and The Estancia Club (1996). The course seamlessly integrates with the Sonoran Desert landscape at nearly 3,000 feet elevation.
Members consistently praise the greens as the best in the Valley—bent grass surfaces providing true rolls and receptive approaches year-round, a rarity in Arizona's desert climate.

As one Reddit user noted about ultra-private clubs: "There are clubs so private you can't even find information about them unless you know someone who's a member."
