In 1976, developer Jerry Nelson founded Pinnacle Peak Country Club. His dream was to build the "Beverly Hills of the Desert" in North Scottsdale, which required building all the roads to the area including Pima Road, Pinnacle Peak Road and Dynamite Boulevard. Pinnacle Peak was the first private golf facility in North Scottsdale and this beautiful creation, with all the adjoining upscale homes, sold out in five years.
The members of Pinnacle Peak have established a tradition of exclusive privacy by limiting the number of equity members to only 325. This offers the luxury of uncrowded golf at all times. The other "claim to fame" is the unique, traditional-style golf course with beautiful, tree-lined fairways rather than the customary desert links golf course. Apart from the lush 89 acres of championship golf, they provide a full service Golf Shop operated by their own Professional PGA Staff and extensive practice facilities to keep your game in-tune.
The Pinnacle Peak Tradition created by its founder is still present today and will continue through the years.
