Located just under 30 miles northeast of Phoenix in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Rancho Mañana offers a 6,004-yard, par-70 golf course designed by Bill Johnston, a professional golfer who competed in the PGA Tour during the 1960s and ’70s and has designed several well-known courses in Arizona and Texas.

With the sloped desert terrain, players can enjoy the challenge of dramatic elevation changes against the backdrop of picturesque mountains and giant saguaro cacti alongside emerald green fairways.

After golfing, players can spend time at the Tonto Bar and Grill, which features an eclectic mix of cuisine ranging from Puerto Nuevo Mexican Tacos to Miso Soy Glazed Grilled Black Cod to German Pork Schnitzel.

While enjoying the wide range of dishes, diners can also enjoy the spectacular views of the Elephant Butte, Skull Mesa, and the southwestern ride of the Tonto National Forest. After a delicious meal, relax at the European-style spa that offers all kinds of massage treatments in addition to hair and makeup services.

After a refreshing spa treatment, head over to the athletic club and swim in the large outdoor pool, or utilize the wide range of fitness equipment offered. Finally, to ensure the needs of all are fully accommodated in addition to the services offered, a 24-hour concierge service is available.
