Why we love this place
We love how Silverleaf lets the desert do the talking: canyon walls, mountain light and a Weiskopf routing that feels discovered rather than built. It's the kind of hushed, hard-to-reach place that rewards anyone lucky enough to tee it up here.

About Silverleaf Country Club
Silverleaf sits within the private DC Ranch community north of Scottsdale, its name borrowed from a 19th-century mining claim recorded on the land. Tom Weiskopf routed the course through the folds of the McDowell Mountains, threading holes through Horseshoe Canyon and Upper Canyon at elevations climbing toward 2,100 feet, with the surrounding Sonoran Preserve framing many holes. The golf course opened in 2002, and the clubhouse followed in 2004. Measuring roughly 7,300 yards to a par of 72, the layout leans on natural terrain, dramatic elevation changes and desert washes rather than manufactured hazards. It has earned lasting recognition as one of Arizona's premier private clubs, consistently ranked among the state's very best. Membership and access are tightly held, keeping the experience quiet and exclusive.
