The FireRock Country Club features a championship golf course designed by the Gary Panks group, along with dining, fitness, and social amenities that create a true club lifestyle. Homes are custom-built on generous desert lots, with architectural styles ranging from contemporary desert modern to rustic Southwest. The community's elevation provides cooler temperatures than the Valley floor, and the night sky views are spectacular. Fountain Hills' famous 560-foot fountain is a short drive downtown, and the McDowell Mountain Regional Park's trail system offers hiking and biking directly from the community's edge.
