At the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona, membership has its perks. An exclusive resort country club experience with combinations of unlimited golf and tennis, weekly spa services, worldwide travel options and enriching social amenities at a 300-acre destination resort can become your personal playground.


With its extraordinary luxury resort and majestic setting in the pristine Sonoran desert surrounded by the McDowell Mountains, JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa provides a compelling setting for The Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge.
“While our membership provides an opportunity to indulge, it’s also a chance to have an all-inclusive lifestyle experience with tremendous value,” said Steve Hart, JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa General Manager and Area Vice President.
Members of The Club have access to all the amenities guests staying at the resort enjoy, plus additional benefits for individuals and families. The Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge offers unlimited access to four acres of resort pools, including the renowned Lazy River, 36 holes of championship golf on the Faldo and Palmer courses at Wildfire Golf Club, the 28,000-square-foot Revive Spa, recently recognized among the Top 25 hotel spas in the United States by Travel & Leisure magazine, and the ever-popular Nickelodeon Activity Zone experience for kids and adults alike.

All members of The Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge receive discounts at the resort’s nine diverse dining options including Ristorante Tuscany and Meritage Steakhouse, earn Marriott Reward Points on all monthly dues and monthly spending, discounts on guest rooms, reciprocal golf privileges at 40 Marriott golf clubs around the country, and up to 18 free nights per year at Marriott hotels in addition to a full calendar of members-only social and family events.

“In addition to enjoying unlimited access to the amenities of the resort, The Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge also allows members to connect with people having common interests, providing great social and professional networking opportunities,” Hart said. “Over the years, we have received numerous requests from local residents for a membership that allows them to use the resort’s wonderful facilities. Our variety of club memberships affords the resort a chance to connect with the community and offer locals access to Four Diamond amenities.”

Wildfire Golf Club, a certified member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, is the desert gem of Phoenix and Scottsdale’s golf courses offering exciting play as well as an unparalleled Arizona getaway.

Home to the Nick Faldo and Arnold Palmer championship courses, Wildfire Golf Club is located in the picturesque setting of the Sonoran desert featuring century-old Saguaro cacti and sweeping views of the McDowell Mountains, providing a spectacular setting for golfers.

The par 71 Faldo Championship Course was designed by three-time Masters and three-time British Open champion Nick Faldo. It features a total of 6,846 yards, generous fairways and ample landing areas, keeping golfers out of the surrounding desert flora. The Faldo Course offers stunning views of the McDowell Mountains, Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak.

The 7,145-yard, par-72 Palmer Signature Course, designed by Arnold Palmer, offers scenic and expansive fairways allowing the ball to remain in play even on an errant shot. Situated in the rugged Sonoran desert, the course meanders through picturesque arroyos with spectacular saguaro cacti. Five different tee markers allow guests to test their game and improve their range.

Wildfire Golf Club features state-of-the-art practice facilities, including a driving range, putting and chipping greens and a greenside practice bunker.

The two courses of Wildfire Golf Club are an integral part of the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, named one of Travel & Leisure Golf’s “World’s Best Golf Resorts” and voted one of the “Top 75 Resorts in North America” by Condé Nast Traveler readers.
