Overview
This Tom Fazio design is an aesthetically pleasing desert layout with generous fairways that play gradually tighter the farther you hit it. The deep-green fairways sharply contrast with the imposing bunkers and lurking Sonoran desert. The greens are quite large and undulating, allowing for a variety of hole locations and requiring deft touch. Mirabel’s conditioning gets consistently high marks from our panelists.

“Located up in N. Scottsdale (across the street from Desert Mountain) this Fazio course is a beautiful and fun resort-style course. Mirabel is a private club that does a wonderful job maintaining this aesthetically pleasing track that runs through the high-desert. Large fairways and greens provide for good levels of playability and fun. The conditioning of the course is excellent and the natural beauty makes you forget that this is located within a gated housing community. Fairways can be inconsistent due to the amount of water needed to adjust to the hot summer weather. The greens are firm but receptive and the roll is true throughout the course. This is fun golf course to play especially with the abundance of natural wildlife that you will likely see though out your round."

“Tom Fazio course in residential development that opened in 2001 and has matured well with homes not in play. Wide driving areas to generally large greens with numerous well contoured sections requiring accurate approach shots. Well bunkered both fairways and greens and greens surrounds providing additional challenges. Course was very well maintained."

“Located in North Scottsdale, this private Tom Fazio, 2001, par 71 course plays 7147 from the tips. It’s a beautifully maintained desert course with white sand bunkers, large greens and gently rolling fairways and notable par 3’s. The course is highly aesthetically pleasing and the holes require you to properly place your drives in order to set up good scoring opportunities. The service is top notch"

“The story goes that the original developer wanted to make the most difficult course in the US and hired Norman to do it. Not surprisingly that failed. Discovery brought in Fazio to re-design and the rest is history. Very nice track that is overshadowed by its neighbors a bit. Excited to see the new clubhouse remodel."
