Ancala Country Club

What Ancala Country Club does

Ancala Country Club is a private member-owned country club located at 11700 East Via Linda in Scottsdale, Arizona, tucked into the foothills of the McDowell Mountains. The club's anchor asset is an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course designed by Perry Dye, stretching 6,815 yards from the back tees with a strategic desert-style layout and five sets of tees. Beyond golf, the property delivers a full private-club amenity set including tennis and racquet sports facilities, a swimming pool, a fitness and wellness center, dining venues, and a programmed calendar of social events, youth programs, private events, weddings, and member-guest tournaments.

The club serves an affluent, family-oriented clientele in the Scottsdale/Phoenix metropolitan area seeking recreation, dining, and community in a Sonoran Desert resort setting. Its primary revenue source is recurring private membership dues (a subscription model), supplemented by private-event and wedding venue rentals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective members must contact the club directly. The club is owned and operated by Arcis Golf, a private-equity-backed golf and club management company with a national portfolio of private clubs. Ancala's marketing is conducted primarily through the arcisgolf.com website, virtual tours, and Arcis Golf network referrals, with no app, public API, or disclosed technology platform.

The club is integrated into Arcis Golf's broader ecosystem through its Arcis Access program, an exclusive membership upgrade offering preferred benefits and reciprocal privileges across Arcis Golf's portfolio of clubs. This positions Ancala not only as a standalone golf property but as one node in a multi-club network intended to enhance member lifetime value and retention. Operations are centralized through Arcis Golf, and Ancala does not disclose independent financial, ownership, or investor information.
