About Desert Highlands
Desert Highlands was built around a multi-award winning Jack Nicklaus golf course – voted 7 times by GolfWeek in the top 100 Residential Golf Communities in America. Located on 850 acres on the south side of Pinnacle Peak in North Scottsdale, the 24-hour guard gated established community has 575 homesites. A strong sense of community and fabulous amenities make this a popular choice for a main residence or second home.
