Gainey Ranch Golf Club — Restaurant in Scottsdale

What separates a clubhouse from clubbing to house? About six gin and tonics, a strict dress code, and significantly more judgment when you miss the beat—or the green. Gainey was an experience—a gentle wind tousling my hair like a shampoo commercial, the satisfying clink of a 3-putt, and the constant existential crisis that is my pitching wedge.

Now, in every other setting, wedges are beloved. A wedge of crisp iceberg lettuce? Delightful. Wedging my hand into the cookie jar? Heroic. But on the golf course? The wedge betrays me like Brutus did Caesar—except with more sand and fewer togas. The Phoenicians, in their infinite wisdom, surely did not intend for the term wedge to become synonymous with failure.

Which is why I propose a motion: the W engraved on the club’s bezel be flipped—into an M. M for miss. M for maybe next time. M for my God, not again. It's only fair that the tool responsible for so many bunker-side breakdowns wear its shame up front. That said, the sand was immaculately raked, and the greens were lightning quick. 1 million out of 10....

The course is exceptional and available to nearby Hyatt Regency guests. However the problem is the guests get mixed with their country club members that aren’t the nicest. They treat you as you owe them a favor while the guess are paying one time play fees comparable with members monthly assessments. I’ve played there at least 10 times as a Hyatt guest and a couple of times had serious altercations with their horrible members. I’m not the best player and what I got from them - go join group behind, go ask management to pair you with weaker players, stuff like that. My suggestion to you when you book T time demand that nobody’s behind you. There’s though very good staff members that coordinate well making sure you are not left behind. But there’s one or two gentlemen there like that. The rest is lazy, rude attendants like their old retired once semi-important mostly former real estate smugglers with a little retirement cash that make matters worse. Shame! Clean up - oust those, make the club with rules or stop sharing and live...

We love staying at Hyatt Regency Gainey Ranch. They always have so many amazing things to do for the entire family. A walkup sand beach pool, water slides, splash pad, adult only pool, live bands, several onsite restaurants. They also have special occasion exhibits, for the 4th of July they had a handler with a live bald eagle, named Aurora and you could get your picture taken with Aurora. They had art exhibits, craft making, coloring, and jewelry making activities for the kids. They have a children's playground, a rock climbing wall with harnesses full coy ponds, miniature putting greens, ping pong, and giant checkers!They had all types of contests and games. They also have an award winning golf course and club house for the adults. So much fun for everyone and the grounds are lush and gorgeous surrounded by a lake where you can ever take a gondola ride! If you haven't had the opportunity to visit this location it needs to be on your list for your next vacation or local...
