The North Valley's Serious Tennis Address
Anthem Golf and Country Club is the only true country-club tennis program north of Cave Creek. Eight post-tension hard courts split across two clubhouses, Persimmon and Ironwood, with year-round teaching pros and an active USTA league team roster.
Membership is optional for Anthem CC homeowners, which makes the math friendlier than a mandatory-equity model. For the North Valley buyer who wants a genuine tennis program without commuting to Scottsdale, this is the address.
Courts and Surfaces
Eight post-tension hard courts. Two are at the Persimmon Clubhouse, six are at the Ironwood Clubhouse. Some are lighted for evening play. The post-tension surface is closer to a true hard court feel than the painted asphalt found at many HOA community courts.
Programs and Play
Year-round teaching pros, USTA league teams in multiple age and NTRP tiers, weekly clinics, junior programs, and social round-robins. Pickleball is offered on dedicated courts separate from tennis.
The club follows USTA rules for league play, including the rule that limits a single league team to two courts at a time during match nights. The program is structured, not improvised.
The Community Around the Tennis
Anthem Country Club is the gated, golf-and-country-club side of the broader Anthem master plan in 85086. Homes range from patio-home product near the clubhouses to estate lots on the Ironwood golf course. For buyers willing to live thirty minutes north of Loop 101, Anthem CC delivers country-club amenities at a noticeably lower entry point than Scottsdale equivalents.
