Scottsdale Country Club is a golf-course neighborhood in central Scottsdale, ZIP 85260, built along Hayden Road between Shea Boulevard and Cactus Road. It has mostly single-family homes, many of them single-level and built from the 1980s to the early 2000s, plus townhomes, patio homes and condos around a public golf club that dates to 1953.
I'm Terry Day with DeLex Realty, and this is my guide to Scottsdale Country Club, often shortened to SCC. The golf club here went by the name Starfire for years and is going back to its original Scottsdale Country Club name in 2026, with its owners adding a putting course and a short course. Below I cover where it is, the homes, the HOA, schools, and what I watch for when I help buyers and sellers here.

Scottsdale Country Club sits in the middle of Scottsdale, north of Shea Boulevard and south of Cactus Road, with homes on both sides of Hayden Road. The golf club's address is 11500 N. Hayden Road. Most homes use the 85260 ZIP code, though you may see a few 85258 addresses near the edges.
Shea Boulevard is the main shopping and dining corridor to the south, and Loop 101 is a short drive east, so it is easy to get to the rest of the Valley. This is an established, central location rather than a far-north desert setting, which is a big part of its appeal.
The golf club is described as Scottsdale's first golf club, founded in 1953 with an original design by Lawrence Hughes. It was later renamed Starfire, and Arnold Palmer redesigned the course in the 1980s, reworking the original nines and adding a third. Homes filled in around the course over the following decades.
In December 2025, the club's owners, Swing First, shared plans with golf architect Forrest Richardson to bring back the Scottsdale Country Club name in 2026. The plan includes a putting course called The Bandana, a 10-hole short course called The Six Shooter, and a refresh of the main course starting in 2027 with new bunkers and greens and less turf.
Most of the neighborhood is single-family homes, and many are single-level. Some sit on golf course or water lots, and larger homes on bigger lots are mainly east of Hayden Road. Townhomes, patio homes and condos round out the mix, which gives buyers a wider range of sizes than many golf neighborhoods offer.
Most homes here were built in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. That matters when you shop: roofs, air conditioning, windows, pool equipment and plumbing can vary a lot from house to house depending on what has been updated. Scottsdale Country Club East 9 is a guard-gated subdivision inside the area. If a gate matters to you, check the specific subdivision before you write an offer.
Scottsdale Country Club is in the Scottsdale Unified School District. Listings in the area commonly show Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle School and Chaparral High School. School assignments can change and can differ by address, so please confirm with Scottsdale Unified for the specific home before you buy.
The neighborhood has a master association, the Scottsdale Country Club Village Association, and some sections have their own association as well, such as the Scottsdale Country Club East Nine Owners Association for the gated East 9 subdivision. That means some homes are in one association and some are in two. The golf club is a separate business from the HOA. Before you buy, read the CC&Rs and the rules on rentals, exterior changes and parking, and ask for the current budget and reserve study.
Because homes here span several decades, I compare each one to recent sales of similar age, size and lot type. Golf course frontage, views, single-level layouts and updates all move value. I also check which association or associations the home is in and what the resale disclosures say. If you want to ask about a lower-rate loan, see my assumable mortgage guide, and if you are new to the process, start with first steps to buying a home in Arizona.
Buyers who look here usually compare it with other central Scottsdale neighborhoods, so pricing has to account for golf frontage, updates, and the gated East 9 section versus the rest of the area. The club's return to its original name and its new short course are worth featuring in your marketing once they are open. Read how to price your Arizona home to sell and my North Scottsdale home values seller guide, then call me for a pricing review.
