North Valley
Desert Forest is the purist's club: founded in 1962, no tee times, no housing pressed against the fairways, and a course routinely ranked among Arizona's best. The custom homes of Carefree surround it on quiet, often acre-plus lots.
The homes
The surrounding Carefree neighborhoods hold mid-century and contemporary customs on elevated desert lots, many with boulder outcroppings and Black Mountain views, in one of the Valley's most architecturally interesting enclaves.
The golf
The Robert (Red) Lawrence design is considered a landmark of minimalist desert golf, decades ahead of its time and still a bucket-list invitation round.
